Easy for me became my nickname and my adiction. It's what I smoke weekly as long as I live.

Thrak = awesome song by King Crimson

Been using this name online since about 98 or so when I was playing Quake and Quake2 online. Long ass time!! There are others on the internet, but I'm the original.

This thread should be a sticky.

huero71 · 06-02-2010, 08:18 PM

Huero = nickname I got from coworkers 20 years ago working in a factory, 71 = the year I was born.

Way back in 1995 when I got my first PC and internet service a friend was telling me about chat software called Pirch, he spelled it for me and everything.

I mistook the software name for his nickname in said chat software. So I took a similar fish, modified the name by taking out the "e" so my friend could find me in the chatroom.

It all made sense later on after I got my 28.8 modem hooked up and got the thing turned on but when he was explaining all of it, I was very confused.

The obvious name what has been one of my personal all time favorite smokes GOF Don Carlos blend.

Lately I have a couple new favorites. God of Fire seems to fit though for a cigar smoker who needs fire to make the magic begin. Afterall cigar aren't for chewing they are for smoking...

3SmokesaRound · 06-02-2010, 09:51 PM

I smoke three cigars 95% of the time I play golf.

stitch · 06-02-2010, 09:56 PM

Stitch is the name that was given to me back in the late 80's by the old cowpoke who taught me to make saddles ... It's stuck for all these years.
Hell fire most people who know me don't even know who "Jeff" is ...
I'm Stitch ... Plain and simple.

When I first came up with this screen name I had a lot of issues in my life and I never changed it...

I still have issues but not quite in the same way.

ucubed (pronounced u-cubed) last name, well sort of. In reality it's Wu and if you were to spell it you would say "double-u u"...you get 3 u's which is u^3 =)

benedic08 = Benedic my first name and i just added the 08 because 8 is a lucky number for Chinese

fhrblig · 06-03-2010, 12:06 AM

Mine is a reference to The Tick. In one of the comic books, the Tick is stalking another superhero (a parody of Superman) and trying to get him to be his sidekick. He gets a job with him at the 'Weekly World Planet' newspaper as the crossword puzzle editor, but is fired because the crossword puzzle he creates has only two words: 'fhrblig' and 'Pabst'.

My CB "handle" from way back in the early 1970's was "Cowboy Kid" When I first started on the WWW via AOL, CowboyKid was already taken. my town's name is often abbreviated as S'ville, so, I took SvilleKid, since my CB handle wasn't available.
