T B0NE 10

 

My nickname I got from my cousin. Nickname actually came from this guy on the Monsterbucks hunting DVD's. My cousin just started calling me that and before I know it, everyone is. 10 is my number too. Its also my gamertag on XBOX live

[JoeHova]

Mine is my old tagger name.

Dan the Automator = a great SF-based producer. I automate stuff on the site, hence, Brian the Automator.

[Principessa21]

I'm Italian (and Puerto Rican), spoiled, and one of my favorite baseball players is Paul O'Neill. However I'm really disappointed in how he handled the Yankees reissuing his number this year so I wish I could change it to 13 for my most favorite baseball player evah Alex Rodriguez.

[hawing]

I thought of my username when pondering the phrase "hemming and hawing."

[bullox]

We had one of these a few years ago, but I guess we are due for a new one.

 

As for bullox, no, it is not BULL OX. It is a different spelling of bollocks, which is a British slang term that can be used in several ways. It can mean awesome, nuts, or BS, amongst other things. Back when online poker was fully legal I used this handle and it was somewhat fitting. Either I had the nuts or I was BS'ing.

 

I am kind of sick of this handle now, but the name is almost 5 years in to Brewerfan and I can't bring myself to create a new account.

[TooLiveBrew]

I'm Italian (and Puerto Rican), spoiled...

 

Spoiled? Your boyfriend must be awesome.

 

Mine's a not-so-clever riff on the rap group 2 Live Crew... also like it as a motto (add "-ers" on the end of it, and take out an "o")

[BuckyTuba]

I played.... check that... I play tuba for the UW Marching Band (I'll be back for this first game this season, and not as an Alumni Band member).

[craigharmann]

Mine is my name....yeah, I know. I'm creative.

[bensheeps]

In Ben's rookie year of 2001, my son (3 year old at the time), wife, and I made the trip to Pittsburgh to follow the Crew. Yes, this was the miserable series following the infamous "sweep suits".

Noticing the new, young phenom signing near the visitor's dugout, my son and I decided to try to get an autograph.

Upon reaching Ben, my son let out a loud "Hi Ben Sheeps!"

The 2nd time Sam said it, I apologized to Ben.

The 3rd time, Ben looked my young son straight in the face and let out a mighty BAAAA.

 

Ben gained fans for life that day.

[DatHoser]

As mentioned in another thread today, mine is a shortened version of Darth Hoser - my username on a couple of SW fan sites. At the time I didn't want to seem too geeky, but now the cat's outta the bag.

[Menotti80]

mine is the original spelling of my last name. i like it better than the current spelling because it looks cooler (more italian) and is easier to pronounce.

 

as far as 80 (my fav #)... its an inside joke and innapropriate for this board...

[InsomniacInkRoss]

My name is Ross, I co-own Insomniac Ink

 

In retrospect, I think I would have gone a different route, but I will keep this

 

My typical board name is usually something like "Ross302fox" which is a play on the "Boss 302" engine from Ford, and the "Fox" era Mustangs I so enjoy

[brewers4eric]

I attended my first game at County Stadium in 1978. Up until that point, my team was the Cinncinnati Reds and my favorite player was Johnny Bench. I had jumped on the Reds bandwagon when I was in 2nd grade and they had swept the Yankees in the World Series. My only association with the Reds, however, was built upon pouring through the box scores in the paper and catching an occasional game on television.

 

Seeing a game in person changed my perspective. The sweet smell of a summer tailgate wafted through the parking lot. Mike Caldwell was on the mound in route to another complete game. The announcer really let it rip when Sixto Lezcano came to the plate. The lady and her grandkids that sat behind us cheered hard whenever Don Money came up to bat. I had caught Brewer fever, and the alliance with the Reds was quickly forgotten. There was a rookie at the top of the order that wore the number 4. Johnny Bench became an afterthought.

 

Maybe if the Tigers had won that day I would be posting on tigerfan.net under the username "tigers(john wokenfuss' number)eric"

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Mine is for the makeshift sign above the LF bleachers at County Stadium after the trade that sent Greg Vaughn to the Padres for Marc, Bryce Florie, and Ron Villone.

 

Truly a banner day in the 90's.

[JimH5]

My first name in Jim.

My last name begins with H.

I like the number 5.

 

I sort of wish there wasn't the anonymity behind our names, so craigharmann, you're my hero.

[sbrylski]

s stands for Sam

brylski stands for Brylski

06 I wish I could drop - it was randomly assigned to my yahoo username a long time ago, and for consistency I've always kept it in most of my usernames. But it has zero meaning to me.

[And That]

[docduany]

Former Badger basketball player Duany Duany was always a favortie of mine. I'm not sure why (both of his parents were Profs at Indiana ?) but sometimes he was referred to as Doc Duany by the announcers. My middle name is Duane so my brothers, cousins, and friends started calling my Duany.

[thablingster]

I had this buddy icon for a while on AIM, and people just started calling me "blingster." It stuck. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif
