Explain your screen name?
« on: February 19, 2011, 11:49:59 pm »
Some of you guys have some interesting names on here. Tell us how you came up with it or how you got it. What it means, etc.
Im talking about those with screen names other than their real name :)

Good topic Jesse!  I'm interested to hear some of the explanations.
Mine's not one of the weird ones...just my initials.  If I could do it over I'd just use my name...

Little league 1970, there were six Davids on the team. Coach asked pointing at each one of us, " what month were you born?" He then points at the kid with the earliest month and says, "your David, the rest of you sap suckers use your last names or call yourself Nancy the choice is yours, now take the field."  From then on our last names followed us all the way through school and beyond. Oh and if you had an error, coach automatically called you Nancy, and other names that would send some modern parents into fits and lawsuits.

When I first started making primitive bows, when I was a kid, I always used hickory.It has always been my favorite and most successful bow wood. And my real name is Bill, hence HickoryBill.

I was given my nickname by a wise old China-man ( I don't mean to be offensive, that's what he calls himself).  Ever since then it stuck.
