DooDaa Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Hello, Just curious.... I see a lot of interesting and creative call-names here at GR.net. How did you people come up with this? Or was it given to you as a nickname for some reason or another. Perhaps a funny incident? I would really like to know the history behind this. One in particular is "Yodasplat". How do you come up with this? If this has been covered in the past, please refer me to it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightCrawler Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Pulled mine from the depths of a Judas Priest song entitled NightCrawler, then everyone started to make references to the Blue elf from Marvel comics, so I took it and ran with it.

WhiteKnight77 Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 If I were to post what we in the Marines called the CH-53, the swear filter would block it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jester Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 If I were to post what we in the Marines called the CH-53, the swear filter would block it. Yeah, but he worked on the MH-53, I'm guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pave Low Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 haha, yeah I remember what you said. Still that’s the CH-53 not the MH-53J. Like comparing a cargo truck and a Porsche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobblers Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 I've always been Cobblers. It's the nick name for my local Football (soccer) team, Northampton Town. They are called the Cobblers 'cause Northampton used to be the shoe making town of England at one point. Oh and if you've got Doctor Martins shoes, well they've most probably been made here.

warhawk Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 (edited) I have always been hawkish in my political views for one. The other is I prefer military style games over all others. I especially enjoy strategy based games. It helps to keep the marines, that I run into from time to time in their place too.

budgie Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 The nickname of a tiny variety of parakeet, called Budgerigars (from the Australian Aboriginal betchyriga meaning "good food." My ex wife introduced me to the joys of having them as pets. When properly tame (hand reared from very young) they make wonderful companions. They are also very quirky and temperamental. That's one in my avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xian Saint Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 While there are some variants...here is why I use mine... Xian X = Christ (Greek, Christos). + ian = Christian Saint = "Them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints. --1 Cor. i. 2." So, in a nutshell... Xian Saint, spoken Christian Saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Ranger Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 dark (därk) Adjective: dark·er, dark·est. 1. Lacking light or brightness. 2. Somber in color. 3. Gloomy; threatening. 4. Obscure; cryptic. 5. Evil; sinister. Do not cross me or you'll wish you hadn't. Generally speaking, I'm a nice guy, but I have an increadible Dark Side. Ranger: Well, it is one of my goals in the future, to become a Ranger that is. Some of my friends always refer to me as if I was in the military. (High-and-tight, combat boots and bdu's often worn, and my general 'let's go, let's move' mentality on the job or even just playin' games...I will hardly ever play paintball or laser tag anymore...I take them WAY too seriously. I have been labeled "hardcore" more than once, and so this call-sign I have adopted and retained for about 2 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xian Saint, spoken Christian Saint Bah!!! Go look on a map of China (or a globe), there is a large town called Xi'an. (pronounced Zee-ahn or something to that effect) You will always be Zian (rhymes with iron) Saint to me. BTW mine was hung on my by schoolmates.
