Okay, if this has been done before, I apologize, but I've been wanting to post a thread like this for quite a while. Everybody's name on this board (or handle, sign on, username whatever) seems to have some sort of explanation for why it was chosen. Some seem to be fairly obvious (but maybe not), some defy explanation. Since we are at the All Star break, I thought it would be cool to have everyone, including the new members, explain why they have chosen their unique monikers on this board. I'll start, let's see what happens. This could be a pretty cool thread. I am Rifleman 22. I chose this for two reasons. First, Bossy 22 was already taken. Second, "Rifleman" was probably the coolest nickname ever given to a hockey player. I remember reading a front cover headline in the old Islander News on Mike Bossy and it called him "The Rifleman". That is what I called him ever since. It is with reverence for my favorite Islander and hockey player of all time that I have chosen this handle. Now, what's your name??????

Steve, if it were home depot, you'd be taking us all to a lot of games! Mine's for Jason Blake, ironically I gave myself this name when Jason was very Fasty and didn't seem too talented...but in the end the talent was there! |
