It sounds like Shi - Lay- La. I've always enjoyed watching it get butchered. It even happened today.

It's gonna happen. I count on it, brother.
In days past, people would just go ahead and butcher it and I'd correct them. Then, for a time, people would politely ask. Now it seems the trend is that folks try to trick me into saying it.
It's cute, really.

Ahhh, I always thought it was like you power-smoked all your cigars.
I can smoke that double corona in twenty minutes, lol.


I hate threads like this, cause mostly people should keep their personal
info to themselves when they are actively breaking the law. But if Tom
can do it, what the hell. There used to be a place called the Ceegar Afishionado
forums, and everybody there was a jag-off, troll-hunting, pack-mentality, low-rent
F*%K. Well, almost everybody. I lost my old handle in a software change, and
when I came back, everybody thought I was somebody else, someone they had
already black-balled out of town. But it wasn't me. So they all started screaming
and jumping up and down on their branches and throwing feces, and I thought,
sheesh, screw this place. Then I went to a forum called Club Stogie, where they
wre supposed to be normal and accepting. My chosen Club Stogie handle was
One Lonely Smoker, cause I was the only one it seemed who thought something
was bad wrong at CA, and I left rather than continue beating my head against the wall.
They accepted me pretty fast at CS, and no one wanted to typy out my handle
when they mentioned my name, they just typed OLS. So I figured when this place
got started, might as well start that way and save folks the trouble.

[Sailchaser]

Sailchaser comes from the fact that I chase after sailboats with the powerboat to take pictures and chase after fish like sail fish and oh yea I chase a gal called SailKat

[BigCat]

My friends in college at one point claimed I look like Will Ferrell. I don't see it. In any event, we were watching Old School and Luke Wilson's character said "easy, big cat" to Frank the Tank. It was immediately applied to me. Some of them will still meow at me when I answer the phone.

[Ogre]

Ogre was given to me during the fire academy. Never given a choice, but it could be worse.

[MajorCaptSilly]

Major = opposite of Minor
Capt = Short for Captain
Silly = More fun than Serious

I really just like signing my posts MCS

[1badhog07]

i really couldnt come up with anything,so i just went with what i call my HARLEY..corny i know..

My Ex-Wife ( the 2nd one ) called me Cyclone because of what my office looked like when I got busy on any computer projects.

I've had a variety of nick-names when I was younger that I never cared for...

This is only Nickname that I've liked...

Unfortunately, Cyclone is frequently already taken on forums so I'll use Cyclone1963 ( my birth year ) in those cases.

[kelmac07]

Kel (my wife Kellie)
Mac (me)
07 (my favorite number)

Shooter is my nickname from Cross-Country in high school... the numbers are my birthdate.

[akumushi]

Akumushi is a portmanteau of the Japanese words for "evil" and "insect" and its origins lie in long and convoluted inside joke from the days of my high school Japanese class. As it is complete jibberish in a foreign language, I can always count on the username being available.

Nickname my friends gave me (like Silent Bob).

I had a yellow GTO.

GTO's are usually called Goats and my goat was yellow-yellowgoat.

[JE3146]

JE (my initials)
3146 (highschool ID#)


I've had this username for.... well. a very long time.

[wolfandwhisky]

He's not really a wolf despite his own personal conviction... plus "WannaBeSledDogandWhisky" just didn't flow as well.

It's actually a derivation of "orangedogofglory" which turned into "orangedog" and now this. If you see orange dog or similar on another forum, odds are it is me - except on twitter, someone else took it.



both of my "wolves"

Just a handle I use on a few other forums. Originated from my PC gaming days and is also my 360 gamertag.

[gettysburgfreak]

I'm a huge Civil War buff and love everything about Gettysburg. I used to work at the battlefield for two summers giving interpretive programs.

[kugie]

Just a made up name i used when I played Video Games.
