Just thought it would be nice to know where we all got our usernames from.... Mine Glock26, was my EDC at the time of creation, and obviously USMC Where did yours come from?
Mine is from a High School Football team in North Carolina, SouthWest Onslow (a.k.a. SWO) I still follow them on the internet, ( Friday Night Football) 2012 1AA State Champion....., and 3 other 2A championships last 10 years. Beside this forum Im on that one all the time. My son and daughter went there.
Mine is the username I used for 32 years working in the lab as a lab tech for a local hospital. Retired this past June.
At the time, one of my favorite range toys was a T/C Greyhawk 50 cal. muzzle loader. Great fun, accurate and about $.45 / rd. to operate. My son has it now.
I believe someone asked me if I lived in Lake Tahoe on another site, but I actually drive a 2-door Tahoe, a semi rare vehicle these days.
All my grandchildren called me gramps. But when one of myself granddaughters started talking, it came out as gumps, and then the rest of my family and friends morphed it into gumpy. So here I am!
You gotta love the blackpowder, at the range people leave in a puff of smoke.from the next shooting lane.They are fun.
My username was a nickname used by a friend. He calls me Homber...after Yosemite Sam's usage of Hombre. 243 was a badge number, which was aso an at work name where we only used badge numbers on the radio, so as to protect our identity. Public servants are targets for abuse. I could say I look like Paul Newman as an excuse for "hombre" but that would be stretchin it since I got my hair cut back in the 70's.
It's so much easier to go by real names. When I first started getting into forums I used different cities in Texas. After a while I just changed them all to Austin.
