Usernames

No, there is an online cartoon out there where a rookie is jokingly sent to a field station to get "elbow grease and headlight fluid". I thought that was what you were referring to.

 

I used to work in the stores of an agricultural engineers, it was situated on a small industrial estate. One day an apprentice for one of the other firms located on the estate came in asked for a long weight. He was obviously put up to it by his collegues. Needless to say we provided him with one!!

 

My screen name is my first initail, W from Wade, then Spauldo comes from my last name, Spaulding, then 12 is my favorite number.

Whats a long weight?

 

mines just my name but i do have nicknames such as Dave the Barbarian and Mad Dave or Big (D)ave

 

It's a play on words, or pun. Weight/wait. He got the latter!!

 

My nickname comes from drumsticks (no chicken ), cause I play drums in a marchingband and start fumbling, tossing and twirling my stix whenever I feel even slightly bored.
Most of the other nicknames I use are in one way or another taken from the cardgame magic.

BTW the online cartoon was referring to is Red vs Blue; the bloodgulch chronicles.
real fun you should all check it out www.redvsblue.com
I recommend you start at episode 1 (there are now over 50), but if you want to hear the elbowgrease you'll want episode 3 (and a part of 4)

 

my name is come from what do you think ha
it could by name hint hint

 

My username is a slang thing that I read about in a vietnam book once.

F'in New Guy. I use it for everything on the net but originally I used it as my alias in Medal of Honour and it seemed quite apt once.

thats funny. But what if you have had membership to a site for a long time, would you change it to FOG, F*$#ing Old Guy?

 

I don't know where I got it from.



Maybe you can tell me :lol:

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

my e-mail address is canadianpatriot1989 , my username is canadiansuperpatriot , it's easy to remember since it's almost the same as my e-Mail. And plus it sounds cool

 

Surely you would have picked something bigger and more manly than a M3A1 Stuart? You might as well of chosen dingo or CV 3/33

Don't "dis" M'Honey! :bang:

 

My username is my usual nickname, a juvenile corruption of my surname. Been stuck with it since I was about 4 years old.
BTW David, I've only just found this thread, and I laughed myself off my chair at your remark about Christian's parents naming you :lol: :lol:
The English sense of humour really is different from the rest of the world.

Thanks mate. I was beginning to doubt if any of the Brits (even) shared my way out sense of humour. I thought that joke had gone over everyones head and out the window (down the pan).

Enjoyed your own "Essex with a lisp" pun in the other thread btw. :lol:

 

A good friend (the owner of the pictured vehicle in my previous post) got me hooked on Stuarts. While registering with an online game site I was trying various permutations of my regular username (Warhawk) and just could not come up with a combo I liked. Of course it would not let me use Warhawk since it was, apparently, already in use. So on a whim I typed in M3A1Stuart (no spaces allowed you know), hit enter and said "HAH! Take that". It did . So now, depending on the subject matter I'm either M3A1 Stuart (M3 to my friends) or Warhawk (Warhawk to my friends ).

 

Would you care to explain, 'cause I really don't get it.

 

I think it hinges on the following hypothetical exchange:

Christian: My parents named me.
David: Me too.
Christian: What my parents named you?
David: No I mean MY parents named me.
David just skipped the misunderstanding and correction, and went off at a tangent - I thinks it's a peculiarly English trait, the jump in logic.

There's a joke that goes:

Man 1: I don't believe in sex before marriage, so I didn't sleep with my with before I married her. How about you?
Man 2: I'm not sure, what's your wife's name.

Oh, Roel, there's another English saying: if you have to explain it, it's no longer funny

 

its just my first name with 01 behind it
