OT - Screen names

bettysnephew

I always try to figure out where/how a member got their screen name or what it means. Kind of a strange way of wasting time, but it works for me.

I'll start,  bettysnephew came about from the 36 years I worked in industrial maintenance at General Mills.  Betty Crocker was the company figurehead (she is not a real person and never was BTW and is a composite of different racial characteristics).  Most of the wage employees said they worked for Aunt Betty hence I was  one of Betty's nephews.

What's your story?

My initials, I'm not very creative.

badinfluence

Bad influence was given to me about 30 years ago when my friends girlfriend (now wife) said she didn't want him hanging out with me as I was a bad influence on him. To this day she still don't like me as she still thinks I'm a bad influence on him.

Holepuncher

Also use it on a gun thread. When we would go target practicing, I would say," Ya wanna go punch some holes." It has stuck with me.

Jeremiah

Talk about not creative?! I just used my real name. I figure in this day there's nothing secret anymore anyways. Lol

Double Bogey

I used to play a lot of golf in my younger days and a "Double Bogey" was the dreaded score that always awaited me whenever I spent more time trying to project the route the girls in the beverage cart would take than thinking about my next shot.  Don't play much now so maybe I should change to "Triple Bogey"

RRP

I'm a retired banker and I wore long sleeved dress shirts year around. For the last 30 years all of my shirts had a monogramed RRP on the cuff - that became my trademark.

With the not creative group, my name (used on both Egg forums).

tkleager

Not creative in one bit.  T is my initial, and the rest is the last name.  Wanted to change it a while back, but would have had to start a new profile with different address....  I'll just keep it.

This thread is cool, You have no Idea how many times I thought,  "Neal Parker (or any NP name), a Nebraska native moved to Fl", Thought I was awesome for figuring this out, along with other ones, Not Neal Parker at all, lol.
