I lived in Salt Lake from 78 through 86. That's where I took up deer hunting and I was very gung ho about it. The locals that I worked with had hunted forever and I guess they thought I was a bit weird? I worked for Phillips Petroleum Company and we would take off the Friday before the start of hunting on a Saturday and not even put it down as vacation. In Utah you are expected to go hunting! We even used company vehicles and never thought about asking permission...just did it.

Around the office we would start "talking it up" at least a month before season and were locked and loaded when opening day came about. The old veterans that I hunted with soon started calling me Gutpile Charlie and the name has stuck ever since.

I retired from the Marine Corps as a Master Sergeant. The nick name for Master Sergeant is Top (RETTOP).

My name is Mike and I lived in NC when I joined, never thought Id move to anywhere else....silly me.

Easy, my name is Theodore.

It was my SASS alias. Inspired by the fact I owned a hay farm.

hjs are the initials of an alias I used many years ago to mess with telemarketers and others who had no business knowing my real name. 157 is simply a former street address. Together they became my internet identity.

I was brand new to forums and hadn't paid any attention to user names. When I signed up I just put my initials (SR).

One might say I was not imaginative... perhaps one of the reasons I've never come up with a CUT that I really liked.

Well, NC are my initials. And I am not as big as a couple folks here (only 6'6") and I am trying to carry less fat. But I am not LilNC. That is my wife's handle at 5'0" and 100 lbs.

I shot 9mm 1911s in IDPA back when .45acp still ruled. Before I discovered Sig P226s, I showed up at matches frequently with a new 1911, each one chambered in 9mm, trying to find one I really liked. Match Director started calling me "Mr. 9mm" as a dig at my choice of an obviously inferior caliber in an otherwise perfect platform. I thought it was funny that anyone would be so offended by my personal choice of platform and caliber. Still do

When my two sons were little guys, they called me Daddy which then became Dad as they got a bit older. This somehow morphed (for reasons none of us remember) into Dan. Dan is not my name so I asked them what that had to do with being their father - their response was that I became "Father Dan," (not a Priest! ), shortened to Fdan as a screen name.

It’s what I’ve been for the last 66 years.

I moved int my home in July 1965 and there was this crazy jarhead next door that like gunsmoke.Next thing you know we were going to the river every Sunday practicing with our six guns.
He move to Louisiana after he got out of prison for shooting a cop.
I lost interest in western rigs and sold it.
Got hooked on colt commander and when Vero 8 got me interested here I picked my favorite caliber for a handle.

My first Sig was a black P229R. Phantom for the dark and mysterious.

Lots of wreckdiving in Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, Tobermory, Canada and Florida earned it for me.

My original and only Sig back when I signed up here.
There was lots of discussion of them at the time because the importers were selling them reasonably cheap. They were usually referred to as Canadian Sig's due to a bunch going into Canada although I don't think mine came through there (PW Arms).

Got the nickname Tiny back in 1986 when stationed at Pease AFB NH. Used it for other forums (like patch collecting and such). When I registered here, used it and got the message "already in use" so added man.

Tinyman

It was the name I was given by my Club Brothers.
In a traditional motorcycle club names are given not chosen... supposed to be based on an action , or character quirk , etc;

I have no idea why mine was chosen !

So I just added the biker to my club name and , volia !

A long time ago I did some writing for a Role Playing Game. I wrote a book and some other stuff for them.

One of my creations was a CyberSlinger basically a Cybernetic Gunslinger if you will or a wait for it .......... Cslinger.

Mine came from my last name and a nickname I was given when I was a wrestler.

I choose mine because could not think of a good name when I was registering for this site. Just so happens i was eating a peanut butter and Jelly sandwich.
