Screen names. Stupid Question of the day. Does yours have meaning to you?

[FirstBubba]

When I originally came to the F&S site, probably late '05, signing in wasn't required.
Everybody posted and just signed their posts.
No "stars", no "points", no "avatar".
At that point, I was just plain old "Bubba".
I took a hiatus in late '07 that lasted several months. When I came back, someone else was posting as "Bubba". That was about the time we had to start "logging in".
I used "FirstBubba" to indicate I was the first to use Bubba.
The other "Bubba" didn't stay long or changed his name. I'm too lazy to go back and change mine back again.
I don't know that "FirstBubba" has any special connotations to me.
I'm a "Jr.". Growing up, my dad used the given name and I got a subsidiary of "Bubba" to differentiate between the two of us.

Sure been a lot of names that have drifted into oblivion.

Anybody remember "blackdawgz"?
GERG was around more back then. Work kinda put a crimp in his style, but he still pops up now and again.
It's just about inevitable that those who just dropped out of sight are deceased.
Hoski said "Goodbye." and left.
...and there has also been some "one post wonders" that just came and went!

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

My username was on my birth certificate.
My profile photo with my trail cam photo of a black bear standing, waving and with his tongue out, is me to a T. :-))

BTW, I am Still hunting Bears from my tree stand. It rained Mon, Wed, and Thur. They are calling for rain on Sat.
What a wet week. Now I know how Treestand feels in wet Florida.

LMAO, that was funny. It was listed "Other", like that Amazon frog in the movie Jurassic Park having both sexes.

I happen to be a Jr. as well. Still get called J-R or even J by family.

Thanks for the shout out, I think I may have to set up a new account as Pray-work-hunt. Or just refocus my priorities. Tomorrow's another day scarlet....

I'm 67 years old, dad passed in 1981.
If you want to get my attention, don't call me by my given name! LOL!

Then ? hermaphrodite it is.
Shall we just call you "Hermy"?

[FirstBubba]

I worked in the steel industrial for several years. Being called a milldawg by your brethren is the highest of complements that can bestowed upon you. I got paired as a shift mechanic with a crusty old hand that had legendary status in the mill. The day he called me milldawg meant the world to me. It's a title not bestowed on just anyone and it's not given out easily. Getting to be a shift mechanic is no small feat in itself. So achieving milldawg is even harder.

'dawg, you've been missing for awhile.
Good to see you posting again, hope all is well.

Remember blackdawdz? My first 3 dogs were adopted lab mix mutts. Great family dogs. Since encountering that guy all my dogs have been hounds or terriers. It might have been a subconscious response

Mine is probably too obvious to even take the time to bore you with ! I have been a life long bowhunter and when I signed on originally with OL I was 75 and my first name is Richard. Some now refer to my first name only, I like that, it sounds a little more friendly and personal, not so cold and distant ! My bowhunting is by use of traditional equipment and I apologize to users if I have mentioned a time or two my dislike where “archery” has fallen in recent years with technology, I am too old school for many of you guys, but I thank you for putting up with me and my druthers !

My screenname is does have a lot of personal meaning to me, but it's also multiple plays on words.

[Ontario Honker Hunter]

No mystery why I chose my sobriquet.

None at all I think. I almost used you as one of the examples in the original post.

Circling back months later and just glanced at this.
Buck Shot 00 is how I always read it.

Bucks hot too has a lot of possible meetings that I imagine are deeply personal.
