Newbs · January 2007

With all of the interesting handles on this forum, I thought it might be fun to know how, where all of the names came from.[p]Nature Boy loves the outdoors.
QFan is a fan of the "Q". Aren't we all
QBabe...self-explanatory.
WessB...ditto[p]Some are obvious and some are not.[p]Mine, "Newbs" has nothing to do with being a "newbie". Although I am a relative new comer to the BGE (Feb 2006). It is a derivative of my last name. Been called Newbs since I was a kid playing hockey.[p]Whats the story behind your name?[p][p]

dhuffjr · January 2007

Newbs,
Pretty obvious. )
I've had the same email address (first part anyway) since I've been online. Google dhuffjr and you get pages of me here and elsewhere. I've never had to add an 07 or anysuch thing to my name to get an email address.

EGGOMANIAC · January 2007

Newbs,[p]manic about the egg.[p]Well I thought I came up with it and musta had caps on. A guy named "eggomaniac" in lower case is another guy so I may change it or relenquish ownership if he comes back looking for it:-) I may change it to one of my other screen names: fjimi (ebay, Polar Lights MB) or bleedrednblack (Falcons MB)[p]

Lu-Lu'sEggcited · January 2007

Newbs,
Rather self explanatory.
I work in a home where I was introduced to the egg.
As soon as a Festival rolled about, I sent for my own, and was so Egg cited when it arrived.
Sort of like waiting nine months for a babe of "MY" own. LOL

orion11 · January 2007

Fire in the Hole · January 2007

All of the good names were already taken![p][p]Actually, an egger that lives in my own small Arkansas town had already taken the handle that I originally wanted to use for myself. So I had to come up with something different. Since that person has not posted in the three years that I have been here, I might possibly jump claim at some point. Probably not.[p]The Fire in the Hole name came to me when I once was checking out some high-temp searing steaks by peeping in through the dome hole. What a lovely sight! Perfect steaks on a perfect grill surrounded by the perfect searing flame.[p]It's all good!

Unknown · January 2007

<p />Newbs,
I take my name from the 6th century B.C. Chinese philosopher, Lao Whiz Tzu, author of the Tao Tan Ching. According to legend, Lao Whiz Tzu was the keeper of the charcoal at the imperial court. When he was eighty years old he set out for the western border of China, toward what is now Tibet, saddened and disillusioned that men were unwilling to follow the path to natural goodness in their fuel and their fires. At the border (Hank Pass), a guard, Yin Xi (Yin Hsi), asked Lao Whiz Tsu to record his teachings before he left. He then composed the 12 books that compose the Tao Tan Ching (The Classic Book of the Way of Charcoal). [p]LWT[p]

Sandbagger · January 2007

Newbs, strange handle but what do you expect from a guy who has a Meteorology degree and sells investment real estate -- no BS there! Plus I play golf, almost scratch when playing. If we play don't worry, I won't ask for any strokes....unless you're offering! [p]Good question to ask. T

Wise One · January 2007

Lao Whiz Tzu, I didn't adopt my handle because I believe that. LOL Something about you sounds strangely familiar - with the emphasis on "strange".

Smokin Joe · January 2007

Newbs,
WOW! I can't believe it's been too long since I've posted - lurk from time to time, but have been working way too hard...[p]Well... my name is Joe and I love smoking stuff on the BGE. I almost went with Jersey Joe (that's where I was born and lived the first half of my life); however for the sake of the "cult"ure I went with Smokin Joe.[p]Great question - it's fun to hear everyone's story.

Rusty Rooster · January 2007

Tiger Tony,
If you remember it, there used to be a line about snow on the roof and a fire in the furnace, my wife took it and named me. She even has a piece of yard art that she has given the same name, of course, it IS a "rusty rooster". If I think of it I will try to post a picture of it, doubt yall could stand one of me.

BluesnBBQ · January 2007

I'm a blues musician (harmonica) and fan and I love to barbecue. Blues and barbecue go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Unknown · January 2007

Newbs,
I have always been someone who looks at the un-obvious. I am capable of saying just about anything. About 7 yrs ago after a few dates with the woman who is now my wife she looked at me and said, "You're just not right in the head. I mean you're a nutcase...........but I like it."
We've been together ever since.

RRP · January 2007

Newbs,
mine is obvious too, but let me explain...
I spent my career starting in the 1960's in the then still straight laced world of banking where long sleeved heavily starched white shirts (and ONLY white) were expected year around and absolutely no less. To be a bit different every such shirt I owned had my monogramm of RRP on the cuff. It truely became my trademark in later years so it was natural decision for me!

Howdy, Stranger!
