No, I am not an ex-navy seal! My name is Frank and I sell fresh squid, A LOT of squid. This is a slow year, so I may only sell 500,000 lbs but I usually sell close to 1,000,000 lbs of squid.
Quoted: My wife calls me "yobo" so... hmm, is she Korean? thats what you call your spouse in Korean. |

Did a report my first year in high school on Special Forces, mainly because I was interested it and I could interview my uncle and his friend for the project. I was just starting to really get into guns and discovered the McMillian M88. I always found long-range shooting fascinating and the M88 is a beast. One day I will have a McMillian .50cal. So, no I am not a sniper nor do I have an M88, but I have had then name for a long time. [sniper]

Would you believe that it's my first name?
I also post as "Surface Warrior" on some gun boards where someone took "Paul". The surface warrior program aboard US Navy ships is a tough qualification testing ones knowledge in many aspects of the ship's operation. I ran the program on the USS Abraham Lincoln until very recently [:D]. |

I have been called Lumpy by friends & family for years. I tried to register somewhere using that name but it was already taken. It gave me a list of other possible names to use and Lumpy223 was one of them. The .223 is one of the rounds I use most so I adopted that name for use wherever I post.

Not quite sure. I wanted something different. Calibers- sounded plain, but Kaliburz....(what ya thinks???)
I guess it's because I shoot/load different caliber weopons from (.22LR, 22Mag, 38 Special, 9mm Luger, 38 Super, 45 ACP, 40 SW, 357 Sig, 223 Rem, 30-06, 7.65 Arg, 30 Carbine, ....more(???). I guess that's the answer. That or the other names I tried were taken...... or all of the above.... |

Well, I was going to skip over this one until I read through it and really enjoyed a few name histories... Many people have asked and been curious, and I don't even know if my old man (EdSr) knows where the nickname came from, nothing too glamorous, but here's my story...
First job out of college I worked as a System Administrator (fixing desktops and servers at Xerox!) and I made a good friend with a guy who was a constant joker. We tortured everyone in the department together and one day I came in and got my share of it. As I walked in every morning, left at night, and pretty much anytime I walked by someone, a modified Beavis and Butthead clip was played. The original was, "It is in these hills that Juan Valdez and his trusted goat gather coffee beans." Being Spanish and named Juan, a simple change turned Juan Valdez into Juan Avila and everyone took it and ran! I was called the "GoatLover" for a few days and it quickly changed to "GoatMan" (which lasted about a day) and then finally "GoatBoy" was born. They said I was unskilled in the arts of love and was a mere BOY to the other goats. People would buy me any and all products with goat pictures on it or goat in the name... (Bully Hill Wine was a big favorite in the office!) Since then I have used it in everything I do and people seem to find it friendly and humorous. I still have the modified sound clip on a CD somewhere in the house. ]=) (Oh and I made this smiley as my trademark, its simply a goat with horns! Sometimes with a goatee, most of the time without!) Not glamorous, but true!!! -- GB |

Like GoatBoy, I too was going to skip over this thread. Hpwever, after reading so many interesting stories behind the names, I decided to share mine for those that haven't figured it out yet.

Burlington Northern Railroad
Railroad Terminology, Definitions, & Slang 4th Edition, Copyright 1994 BOOMER - A railroader given to drifting from one railroad to another or different areas of the same railroad looking for more work. Comes from the early practice of following the boom camps. I'm a railroader here in Washington state but have worked in Texas, Minnesota, and the Dakotas on temporary transfers to make some pretty big bucks. It was on one of these transfers that I first picked up the nickname Boomer. Back home, I have a fondness for playing pranks on unsuspecting fellow employees by placing signaling devices known as torpedos on the rails. A torpedo is a small explosive charge, about the eqivalent of an M-100, that detonates when a train rolls over it. A friend that I've played this prank on more than anyone else took to calling me Boomer for a while because of it. |

Shamayim is the Hebrew word for "blue sky". It's also used to refer to Heaven, and it's the Hebrew name of my 4 year old son. Most Jewish kids are given a Hebrew name which sounds more or less like the English language name they'll usually go by, and my Israel raised wife chose Shamayim. Using it as a screen name keeps me remainded of what the important things in life really are, family and loved ones.

My name was recieved at birth.
I originally came here to spread awareness of the United Nations intentions in relation to the global gun ban. Our convention, which commences on July 9, 2001 in New York City, will answer all of your questions and concerns. However, now that I have experienced your unusual brand of hospitality, and have read some highly divergent opinions, I have decided to stay and keep you informed of future events. We at the United Nations are here to help! Thank you for making me feel so welcome here! Thank you. |

It's my address from my Hotmail account which I often use for work-related messages. The "Jeff C" is pretty much a no-brainer. The "ARFF" prefix stands for "Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighter".
As for using it on this site, my wife says it is bad enough that firefighters get to play with fire, water and big, fast trucks. Firefighters having access to firearms is even more disturbing.[;D] |

Chimborazo - a large volcano in Ecuador. It is also the name of a civil war hospital that was once here in Richmond, VA...now a park. It was the largest hospital in the world, and during the war treated over 75,000 patients with a less than 10% mortality rate. That is lower than any military hospital to this day (during war time)! The founder, Dr. James McCaw (sp?), loved the volcano, so he named the hospital Chimborazo.

Well Sixgun357 came to be one night while I was trying to come up with a name. My fist gun was a Ruger GP-100 in .357 4 inch barrel stainless very pretty gun. It was the first and only handgun I shoot very well. I figure Sixgun for the revolver and .357 for the caliber and put the 2 together and it works. I still prefer revolvers over autos.

Before anybody accuses me of being a jarhead that cant spell again, I guess I will explain. Yes, I am a former marine, but jarhead was too boring. My father is known as garhead at the river, making me garheadjr. Just happens to work with my preference of armed forces branchs. Just in case you are wondering, we are nicknamed garhead's, because we look like one :D.

My nick is a product of my upbringing. As y'all know, I'm a cop, and growing up in East Texas, if you called the police, you "called the law". Combine that with the initials for the city I serve, you get salaw. I've been an Oilers/Titans fan since 1976, and 00 is the jersey number of Ken Burrough, who played WR for the Oilers from 1971-1981.

When I switched from a service rifle to a match rifle (with standard match sight), it took me a little while to snap to the fact that the knobs turned in the OPPOSITE direction. Tried to correct for some 6 o'clock sevens & threw a lot of shots into the dirt before the "light" came on. Kept hearing "Bermshot on eleven" over the radio.
