Why Your Username Part II ?

1 inquiry & 1 comment buccolts: Colts=Indianapolis Colts Buc=Tampa Bay Bucs or Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA? I'm assuming the NFL Bucs in Florida correct?

1 comment: I like your avatar/profile picture. Where is it from? What was your inspiration? Not enough people where sophisticated hats in photographs anymore. Nice selection IMO. :hat:

 

Colts, yes (obviously), but Buc is for the Pirates.

And though it was always team first, Unitas & Clemente were my heros when I was a kid.

 

My avatar? It's a young Tom Waits. I've always been a fan. Especially of his low-life lounge singer bit in the 70's and early 80's.

I scoped out quite a few musical photos, and though this would be a good one for the forum.

I also thought no one would ever guess who it was, but IndyTrav did a while back.

Yep, it's not me, but I'm glad you like it.

I just took the things i'm most passionate about in life and combined them. Colts and family. I used to be Colt%man21 and I was paying homage Bob Sanders but when we had to sign up with the new forum I chose this one. It's also my psn tag and email

2 very nice things to be passionate about family & Colts. Bob Sanders was a fantastic safety too. It's a crying shame his body physically broke down as soon as it did. Sanders was a difference maker on the field & a fine, upstanding young man IMHO. It's neat to see the variety of crucial insights into so many of the people that I call friends, not to mention greet new Blue Horseshoe fans on an almost weekly basis too. Very Cool! :thmup:

I like your signature quotes too: "Be yourself, everyone else is taken (Oscar Wilde)

We need to replace random acts of violence with random acts of Kindness (Me)" Great advice too by the way!

SW1, are you from the Northeast?

haha no 100GFB, but my family usually wants to send me to exile on Saint Helena near the West Coast of Africa every New Year's with a 1 way plane ticket for some reason. Napoleon Bonaparte was banished there in 1815. Hey, if it's a cozy  Mediterranean spot for isolated emperors in the South Atlantic Ocean, the waiters there must make a margarita there to die for right?  :funny:

Hey Andy, Is your middle name longwinded? I'm just wondering.  :clap:  haha Just Kidding man! 

You were just ironically alluding to the shortness of his "story", right SW :D  It sounded a little mean - which could be why 100GFB asked you if you were from the Northeast. Reasonable assumption. For example all NJ school children have to get at least a "B" in "hand gestures" before they are even allowed to enter high school.

Lots of nice contributions to this epic thread MAC, but no explanation to the origins of your name?

 

1. You are Scottish

2. You are a big tennis fan

3. You like fast foods

4 It's an acronym for Manning and Clark

5. Somthing else

My parents gave me a one way ticket to "Krakatoa East of Java"! I didn't consider that negative but positive compliment as I was hot stuff! Think you're wrong as Magaritaville as it's the next stop past Clarksville!

Lol...always thought your pic resembled Tom Waits, but didn't think it was him....

The bad thing about my old username and email is that people would break the name down the wrong way, instead of colts hitman they would often say colt  hitman(but they would add the s in front of hitman) so needless to say that got old very quickly!

 

The first quote I actually saw on a car commercial, it was either Chrysler or Lincoln?

 

The second quote came after I had watch a bunch of coverage of the Sandy Hook Tragedy.

 

Thanks for the compliments SW!

Sorry to take this thread off topic; but as I was reading through it, I noticed that several of the males here have told us that their username is also their nickname. 

 

I only know two women who have nicknames.  But, my husband knows several males who have nicknames  . . . a few of which include Slick, Bones, Shorty, Crusty, Smoke, Odie, Bodeen, Sugar Bear, Noodle, Brown, Skinny, Lofty, Doc, and Darrel. 

 

I have often asked guys why they have such an affinity for nicknames, but have never received an answer other than "That's just the way it is with guys".  So, I'm wondering if any of you can give me a clue.

;) Yes, I was alluding to the briefness of the story that is true MAC. I wouldn't call it mean or a "reasonable assumption." Direct perhaps, but not mean, especially with "Just Kidding man!" written after it. It's how I was raised. I meant no disrespect to Andy. There is a difference between cruelty & sarcasm. My apologies Andy if what I said was not well received by you or if it personally offended you.

Thank you BHC. I appreciate your kind words on my behalf. Thank you. :hat: I have gotten into a little bit of trouble with my directness in the past on this site & I want to ensure that everyone's perspective or point of view is welcome even if the team or athlete they may idolize is not held in high regard by yours truly.

I enjoy reading your take on things & your Scotland background as well. I am intrigued by other countries, traditions, & cultures BHC & if I ever say something that does not sit well with you please don't hesitate to tell me my friend. Thank you. :thmup:

Pleasure.....but I will call you on the small market bias that upsets you so.......I know what you are saying, but it is no different to life itself. Many are more priviliaged than others - and we don't like communisim, now do we?. It's the cycle of life. In sport, it is easier to resolve though, and less important. We are very lucky with the NFL, and the design to reach parity. I live in a socer world, where all the fat cats just get fatter, and it's ruining the game....but it is that, just a game.....

And while the guys are answering this question, I'd also like to know how come guys don't have 'friends'............they have 'buddies'

 

Women never have buddies, they always have just regular friends :)

    • I can too. And that will tell us everything we need to know about how the view him. It will tell us their feelings on the tight end room, and what direction they pick from there will tell us even more.    but if they take him at 15, we won’t know much about what might have happened, as they will be landing someone they had rated highly and fell to them. 
    • Glad that’s over…    if I wanted to argue about it, I would have responded far more in depth than pointing out how you were attempting to gaslight me. I did not. Meaning I was ending my part of whatever the argument was. You “putting a finality to it” and then listing bullet points tells me it was the argument you wanted all along, which makes sense why you brought Grigson up in the first place. Bait, hook, gaslight. Almost got me buddy. You are a funny guy, Doug 
    • Putting a finality on an argument you want to have.   There is a theory that Ballard won't draft a OL high because ARs injuries were not caused by a poor oline.  I felt it important to note that since Luck's major injuries were also not caused by his oline, Ballard could still want to improve it like he did in 2018 simply because AR is The Franchise. And its important to point that out because there has been a running (false) narrative for about 9 years that Luck's oline was the (main) reason for his injuries that kept him out of games.  The (false) narrative is based upon, IMO, a detest of Grigson, and not reality about the facts (or strong rumors) behind the kidney laceration and snowboarding shoulder. Therefore, mentioning Grigson and the (false) narrative was germain to the point about Ballard possibly drafting Oline high this draft to protect AR. Mentioning Grigson shouldn't trigger a CB vs RG discussion, unless people reading it are gaslighted by their own reading lens.
    • That is a very inaccurate description of what happened.  At this point it’s history and doesn’t need to be revisited but I will say Chloe adds value to this board and should be and is by most encouraged to post, even if people don’t always agree with her.  
    • My response was in regards to another posted suggesting that the Colts need to get the pick right when it comes to picking a WR. I agree with you .
