    I was just wondering what real nick names we have and how we got them. And also I'd like to know why we use our user names.

    I have the nickname "Smooth" because I always get the honeyz for my friends. The say I'm the smooth talker and I always keep my cool.

    I also use the user name "Miggidy Markell" for the rapper from the hip/hop group "Wreckx-n-Effect". I met Miggidy one day with Aquil to get an autograph back in 94.

    I play bridge all the time. When I can't get a game, I play on the Internet, since 1995. Actually, that was one of the things that got me hooked on the internet.

    When you sit down at an Internet bridge table, there is a chat line to speak to others at the table. The first thing bridge partners always say is:

    Hey partner

    It is social bridge afterall.

    I couln't resist. People certainly remembered me, which made it easier to remember the biddding system I used--very helpful. I can now just sit down and hit enter, and it is an automatic greeting.

    PhiSlamaJama is the only way to go. It's the best offensive scheme ever designed. Throw it down baby!

    When I first began posting here 3+ years ago, I lived in Los Angeles and my handle was RocketMan West.

    I moved back to Houston in 1998 and changed it to RocketMan Tex.

    As far as nicknames go, my older brother used to call me "Shiv" because at age 6 I stabbed him in the back with a pencil. A "shiv" is an old-time crime term for a knife.

    I am the b*stard son of LHutz.

    Huh?

    Right!

    Be= first initial (B)
    had= first three letters of last name

    I have been Behad on the internet since '96. Every email, every chat name, every service I have used on the net has been as Behad. If you are online somewhere other than CC.Net and you see a Behad, it's probably me.

    rascal Guest

    Rascal was the goofiest screen name I could come up with on short notice. It was either that or scooter.

    In the real world, however, I have no nicknames. Never had. Guess I'm just not the kind of person that inspires nicknames. (Then again, I'm not the kind of person that stabs my brother with a pencil either). [​IMG]

    Damn.. I've had more nicknames than I care to remember. Some I liked, but most of them I've hated. I was on a downhill ski racing team for six years, so most of them come from that.

    Mr. Bean - I look like him from side on, supposedly.
    Boober - Something to do with Fraggle Rock.
    Flipper - Because I have big feet.
    Repo Man - From the wrestler.
    Snorks - God only knows.
    Gillard - My last name.
    Gizzard - Bastardization of my last name.
    Hakeem - Seriously, but only on the basketball court. [​IMG]


    I picked fadeaway on here because there's no prettier play than a fadeaway jumpshot.

    Other online nicks I use include <u>Zephyr</u> and <u>flameroasted</u>. I haven't really found one I like well enough to stick with yet.

    Miggidy,

    No need to apologize, I was just trying to make it easier for anyone who wanted to know.

    It was not meant as a "This was already done" kind of thing. [​IMG]
