A nonsensical handle that just came to me: Enigmatic with an "s" added

irreverent

A twist on a pet name my brother had for me when I was a kid- a little sassy and cheeky.

It also happens to be a bit of a play on my husband's handle here- not quite the antonym, but close..

I was signing up on the forum, this is the first forum I joined, in my excited state, right after I signed the waiver, not knowing what I was doing, I just put my name in, so that's my exciting handle story!

Jimbo54

My closest friends call me Jimbo and 1954 was the year I fired my first firearm. It was an old Winchester .22 bolt rifle. I've been hooked ever since.

Hamden106

Hamden (CT) made High Standard target pistols. My first one (and still own it since 1970) is a Model 106 Supermatic Trophy bullbarrel. Now I have 10-12 HS pistols.

I almost used my much younger days nickname "Speedy House Ape". But It doesn't fit too well anymore.

rexles

First name and part of middle name.
Also was in my first auto accident at age 3 or 4 as a result of finding a monkey wrench in the back seat of my grandfathers old car and as I was asking what it was hooked it onto the steering wheel and pulled us into a large deep ditch. WRECKLESS!

thunderson

It's sort of from the Bible. In Mark 3:17 Jesus gave the name Boanerges to James and John because they tended to get their ire up easily. Jesus was having a bit of fun with them. Boanerges means "Sons of Thunder", so Thunderson was born as a way to remind me to not take myself too seriously.

Wife picked it and signed me up to the forum when I was at work as a favor since I mentioned about joining. I would of pick something cooler. I haven't talked to her since and we live under the same roof.
