Initials followed by my favorite number (multiple of).

For those who may know, Yogi Berra is the reason for the number.

 

[Midpack]

Up till now my mind-picture of you was a person with your avatar's face and washboard abs.

Sadly wrong on both counts.

 

[Earl E Retyre]

I just used my real name.

 

[timbervest]

Totally random

 

[Lsbcal]

I just used my real name.

You had me going there for a second.

 

[The Cosmic Avenger]

You had me going there for a second.

In that case, I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you. It would make a great retirement investment!

But I'd take a bit more then a second to ponder that investment.

 

[txtig]

I thought it had something to do with texting...[emoji23]. Geaux Tigahs!

Geaux Tigas indeed!!

I signed up for another forum as TxTig. Makes it a little more decipherable.

 

[RunningBum]

I thought about SkiBum, but I identify more with running than skiing.

 

[cbo111]

Its complicated, so please follow along. I took the three initials of my name, and then put three "ones" after that. Feel free to use as a guide when thinking up your next username.
And please don't tell me that you use the same username in multiple applications.

 

[Koogie]

Mine is a nickname. Because nick is not my name.

 

[Winemaker]

Cheers! Mine sounds better than snob.

 

[Major Tom]

Mine is obvious.
It is the name I use on 99% of fora that I participate in.

I believe in publicly standing up for your comments.

I believe the same too, and it's the reason I use my real name on the majority of the forums I frequent. The only reason I use a screen name here is because money can be rather a touchy subject with some folk. I only discuss money matters with a very few close family members and friends. I don't tell most people I know how much I have. It's the reason I like to preserve at least a modicum of anonymity on this forum. If one of my acquaintances or not-so-close family members were to come across this forum, best they not know the details of my finances.

However, even in the very few places I use a screen name, I still conduct myself with the same sense of decorum I would if everyone knew who I was.

 

[like2]

I chose like2 because when I joined, I thought I would really like2 retire at 55.
Thanks in large part to the fine folks on here, I was able to meet that goal!

I was going to request changing it last year, but I decided I like2 read this forum alot and continually learn about others plans to retire and their success stories!

 

[Calico]

I have had three calico cats over the years (among many cats). The cat in my avatar passed away a few months before I joined the forum, so my user name is in honor of her as well as the other two sweet calicos from years past.

If you look carefully at the avatar you will see she has David Bowie eyes.

 

[whitet]

At my first job (computer operator), all printed output started with a banner page made up of the first 5 characters of the employee's last name followed by the first letter of their first name followed by a digit to make sure the banner name was unique. Mine came out as WHITET2, but the 2 was meaningless so I dropped it. I suppose you could also read it as "Whitey". (I can hear you yawning)

 

[whitet]

If you look carefully at the avatar you will see she has David Bowie eyes.

Did David Bowie have special eyes? Along the same lines as Bette Davis maybe? I did not know this.

I think your cat was a reincarnation of our Saskia.

 

[Calico]

His right eye was blue. His left eye appeared brown, due to being permanently dilated as a result of an injury sustained in a fight (over a girl, of course!) as a teenager.

My calico's right eye was blue and her left eye appeared brown or gold, depending on the amount and type of light.

Calicos are special.

 

[calmloki]

He got poked in the eye by a buddy over a bit o' trim as a youth. made one pupil be permanently dilated. Unlike Calico's cat, our cat has heterochromia, with one blue and one amber eye. Very cool to look at. A few months ago I met a woman with one color above and one below on one eye. Fascinating! She had no problems with the "eyes up here" issue.

 

[FargoI]

Wonderful movie....Argo. if you have not seen it, its fabulous.

Prefix F is intuitive as is the I

 

[madsquopper]

Tournament tiddlywinks player (in the Guinness book of Records actually), and squopping is a type of shot that I might be the best in the world at. So kind of like the mad scientist of squopping.

 

[ocean view]

An ocean view is my happy place. Whenever I see my screen name here I always hear the Green Acres song in my head where Zsa Zsa Gabor says “I just adore a penthouse view...”, but of course, I change the words to “I just adore an ocean view!”

Here's my washboard abs.
