My middle name is "Augustus", like my Grandfather before me.
I used to HATE the name "Augustus" or "Gus" as a child.
Got into as many fights over it as my red hair, last name, and several other things combined.

But then one day I stopped resisting it and embraced it.
Wore it with pride...
But I still got into just as many fights over it as my red hair, last name, and several other things combined.
Just for a different reason...    :o

MarkS = Mark Smith

Some think my last name is Marks. Not so. I get on several forums and don't feel like making up a catchy related name for each of them. I get on a duck hunting, squirrel dog, hog dog, and PA forum. Keep it simple.

Too many southern boys calling themselves catfish, cooter, bubba, etc. Figured I'd use the only fish with a gizzard, true to the south and good eating anyway you fix it. Plus my family made a living in the 40's and 50's catching and selling them. I did it as a joke and kinda stuck with it now.

My name is Guy and I am from Ohio , the Buckeye state !
For years I have been known in Michigan as Guy from Ohio !
The folks in Indiana were not so kind, just called me Buckeye !
So when I finally signed up for PA ,I figured Buckeye Guy would cover it , and my proper name, "Worthless Old Nut" just seams to long !

When it came time to determine what my screen name would be I drew a complete blank. The same thing had happened earlier when I signed up for another site which would be used by my wife and me so I kept the name. My wife's name is Leslie and mine is Kenny, hence the LesKen and the year I joined was 2011 so that is where is came from. I know....why couldn't it be something cool like Robin Hood, or something. Well, too late now.

Although the kids in my archery class  call me "The Eagle".. Kinda like that name, might change to that some day.  8)

Never could understand the handle thing. I guess everyone picks one because everyone else does, a monkey see, monkey do kind of thing.

People come up to me at shoots and say" I am cow patty from the stickbow". Just as well be telling me they are a space alien from mars. If they had said "I am Bill Jenkins" I would remember them from the site, handles confuse me. Then again, I am crotchety old guy who doesn't fit comfortably in a lot of what are considered normal, modern behavior patterns.

Tell you how odd I am; I don't own a cell phone and drink city water right out of the tap, now thats pretty odd nowadays.
