Title: names
Post by: BOWMAN53 on August 06, 2013, 10:13:24 pm
Ive always wondered, how the heck did some of you guys pick your names?  Im a huge 49ers fan, and as any football fan knows we have the two best inside linebackers, patrick willis and navarro BOWMAN, and he is number 53. Hence, BOWMAN53. i couldnt pass on the perfect play on words

Most of this osage tangle mess of a "bird sanctuary" did not even get a rise from Blackhawk.  But, there is 1 larger shoot/limb on fallen trunk that did.  It's like 10+ feet of straight bark loveliness of about 12 diameter.  I had cleared a path and was ready to cut it when my wife came home.  grr  The timing.  There's been many a discussion about this tree since.  I can promise you that before is gets fully leafed out next spring, it will be in my drying rack.  ;)

I played and owned lots of drum kits from Yamaha's, Tama's and Pearls. Pearls are the best in my ears. So I used the name Pearl Drums knowing I wont ever switch brands the rest of my playing days.

I drew a complete blank when I signed up. My wife's name is Leslie and mine is Kenny....so....LesKen and I joined in 2011, hence LesKen2011. Sounds dumb, I know, when I could have had a name like meatstalker or something cool!! ::)
Title: Re: names
Post by: osage outlaw on August 07, 2013, 10:13:35 am
I thought Lesken was your last name at first.  I was asking everyone at the Classic if they had seen Kenny Lesken.  No wonder I didn't get any help

I make game calls,turkey,deer,goose,duck... but mostly turkey calls and I'm from Buffalo NY.
I went by "Buffalo Hunter Game Calls", I needed an online name to sell my calls on Feebay(or Greedbay) and buffalo hunter was taken so I just used Buffalogobbler and it has been with me ever since.

Yeah, When you are talented like us you don't need a handle.  ;) ;) .

I get on several different forums and I don't want to make a catchy relative name for each of them. Mark Smith = MarkS

I just used something that did not take a whole lot of time to come up with.  The first bit is a given for this site, the second part "101" I guess it relates to typical answers and a method to everyones madness when it comes to "bowyerism"       ;)

I'm an oversized weasel that eats tabby cats and small annoying dogs.  I frolick in the snow and am the cutest thing until you try to get between me and mine, then I'm a whirling snarling death dervish that takes on things twice my size and wins.

"Olanigw" idamoo "Fisher cat" Inglismaniwi.  Wligen.

I identify strongy with my american indian heritage, so I use the Abenaki (and french) name for fischer cat.

Actually, it is pronounced wa-shee-choo. I hear it enough from the Lakota up here. 

Side note, when the folks from Pine Ridge jumped in their cars to come to the opening of Dances here in Rapid City they did not know it was gonna be a comedy.  But when they heard all the men speaking "woman's language Lakota" they laughed their heads off.  Turns out the person they hired to translate the lines into Lakota only translated into woman's language so the men are speaking as if they were gay.
