user names and story behind them

[EagleEyeEOD]

OK you asked. Although I am a pretty good shot, if that was your guess your wrong. On a mission overseas we were involved in a 6 hour gunfight in a 5 story building. In the end we had one bad guy left who had the tactical advantage (directly above me) separated by the floor and a broken stairwell. So a claymore delivered with a tree branch at point blank range, we won. Our OIC decided it was the equivalent of shooting beer cans with a shotgun (can't miss.) Therefore EAGLEEYE.

 

[spider]

funny how my screen name is the street name of the bad guy in "Gran Torino" and I happen to be asian...

 

[docnugent]

You can take your pick (all are true):
1) My first and middle initials are M.D.
2) I admire Doc Watson.
3) I'm a taller version of Doc of The Seven Dwarfs.
4) I earned a Ph.D. in psychology.

 

[Rvrcowboy]

[accessbob]

Mine I came up with back in 1997 when I was just getting started with Microsoft Access databases and joined one forum for Access. Today I am a Senior Software Engineer but most of my current stuff is programming - yep, you guessed it, Microsoft Access databases.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Baron Von Blitzkrieger was the sire of our first Rottweiler.. he was a working police dog

 

[unklekippy]

My name is Kip. I am an Uncle. All of my Nieces and Nephews call me Uncle Kippy. I wish I could say I destroyed an enemy with a claymore attached to a tree limb, but my story is much more boring than that. Kip.

[PaulZ]

Same here Zach!

Mine's a little complicated, but here goes:

It's my first name and last initial.

 

[Allfat]

I am overweight and during high school football, it was a joke saying "It's all fat baby." Instead of muscle. Pretty stupid, but I used it the first time I played Halo online, and it has been my online persona ever since. Nobody really uses it in real life though, just an online thing for me, except on a paintball team once. We all had to have nicknames on our jerseys, and so I was known as Allfat. I have never found a conflict on a forum, so I guess it has worked out pretty good!

I grew up on the river and knew the Russell family. Look for a video called "Sagebrush Sailors" and watch old film of tug and barges navigating Celio and Bonneville up and down river before the dams.

 

[Fat Jesus]

Its the name everyone calls me in the racing scene, as I kinda of resemble Allan from the Hangover, aka Fat Jesus

And it came from Dale Velzy, but my folks added an extra e.

Oh come on now everyone knows who Dale Velzy is, The Hawk. The surfboard builder from the 50-60's.
