OT: Yearly Username Roll Call

Loved reading about people’s avatars and would equally love to hear about why you chose your “Username”. 
 

Lake Yale is the lake we lived on in Central FL, after moving there from San Diego.   “13” is the number of my all time favorite baseball player, Lance Parrish. Was living in Milford, MI during the 84 season and lost my mind as a 3rd grader. Bless You Boys!!!

My friend nicknamed me "Magnus" because I looked like a Magnus. That was back in the days when I had time to go to the gym 5-6 times a week and look like a Viking warrior.

I played lacrosse through and a little in college til I was recruited over. Always signed correspondence ( I'm 61 so that's a thing to me) yours in lacrosse. Ive hung onto it since the interweb thingy took hold. I like this thread. Wondered about lots of the id's. Go Blue.

I’m terrible at picking a username for anything, and seemingly anything with “blue” or “wolverine” was already taken, or some similar iteration was used.  I chose my name as to say that I impale buckeyes, but some people think I’m a buckeyes fan apparently.  Oh well ??‍♂️

3rd grade in 84. You're young.

The book of Ezekiel in the Bible is fascinating. The view of what is going on in the Spirit world is complex. Making a name out of something of what was seen there is where it came from.

The picture is from the most important moment in the three Lords of the Rings movies. We all face whether we will let go of something bad, when rather it looks like it benefits us personally, but in reality is nothing but bad for us, and everyone else. Too much drinking comes to mind....

Was in college freshmen year at CMU and I screwed up a rotation passing 3 joints and got caught with 2 in hand. Some one said “stop bogarting the joints Bogey!!”. It went from Bogartus and turned into variations of it, Ronald Bogartus, bogey, bogeywon kanobi, OR bogeywon 

Harbaugh's Lef…

I was a lurker for a while, then one day five years and one year ago from today, huntmich started a thread talking about how fucked up Jim Harbaugh's left elbow was. Everyone was having a good time and I wanted to join in, as I had for a while before then on a variety of topics, so I thought it'd be funny to make that my name and join in on the fun.

I regret it every time I'm here. The name that is, I only regret being here when I read Covid threads.

I might have scanned your football ticket. On one prodigious day I scanned over 1,100 bar codes ( a few qr’s too). Do the math … I interacted with 1/100 of the announced attendance. Since i missed avatars earlier, two of the M stamped shapes hit me in the head at sporting events. There will be blood!

I thought Chunkums would be a funny name when I was playing Perfect Dark with my friends in 8th grade. The avatar is a reference to when I "turned to the dark side" and attended OSU for grad school. Despite how easily I could have transitioned to being an Ohio State fan, I remained faithful to UM.

Nickname/first letter of my long very difficult to pronounce last name is Q. Matic: I’m a fan of Nas and Illmatic is one my my favorite albums of all time.

Mine is an old handle, probably dating to 2006 or so, my last as a student. Though I haven’t admired the stories about Lloyd’s hamstringing of the RR years, I was over the moon about him and his record even during the Tressel years and knew that guys like him (and Navarre!) were almost-criminally under-appreciated.
