[lancer]

I picked my name because when I went to join this forum I had to come up with something to enter as a user name and I was staring at my shelf of Somerset Indian Lancers as I was thinking about it, thus lancer. Pretty mind-boggling, eh?^&grin -- Al

 

[kogu]

When I signed up I was looking for something short, so I just combined the first two letters of my first name and the first two letters of my last name, and that made kogu :smile2:
Cheers!

[Raider]

Picked the name Raider because I've been an Oakland Raiders fan for around 30 years.Thought it would be a cool screen name. Jason

[Sentaapua]

Mine comes from the badge and nose art of the 1st Fighter Group of the Brazilian Expeditionary Air Force on Italy that fought in 1944-45 with the Allies and that has its mascot a fighting ostrich with the motto “Senta a Pua”, which is quite untranslatable into English, as it is a popular (slang) saying in Brazil, meaning something like “Hit’em Hard” or "kick ***". They flew P-47`s and the motto represented the spirit of that unit, and it is still in use today, as the squadron badge of the original 1st Fighter Group’s successor unit.

Sammy:

Thanks. I was reading these posts aloud to my wife and she said my name should have been jason818. I made the mistake of responding, why would I call myself that?

 

[Go for Broke]

"Go For Broke" is the combat fighting motto for the 442nd Combat Regiment and 100th Battalion made up of Japanese Americans and other Asian American minorities from Hawaii and the mainland USA. "Go For Broke" means to give everything you got, a gambling term when shooting crap to put everything on the line. The 442nd Combat regiment and 100th Battalion was the most decorated combat unit in the history of the USA Army for its size, till today. The average height of these soldiers were 5'2" and they still kicked a**. It proved Japanese Americans as loyal citizens to the USA during WWII and helped Hawaii become the 50th State. Two of my uncles fought the Germans in Italy. Van Johnson, the star of the movie, "Battleground" starred in the "Go For Broke" movie shortly after the war. I am immensely proud of their combat history and sadden if any soldier from Hawaii disgraces Hawaii's fighting spirit.

 

[Jack]

I was in the Army Reserve with Larso. His first name is John and the slang for 'selfishness' was 'being Jack'. I believe it comes from the old saying 'Up with the gangplank Jack, I'm aboard'. Larso has, shall we say, a very real awareness of his own needs. We naturally gave him the nickname 'Jack' . He did not care for the nickname - perhaps as it was a bit close to the truth - and away from the Reserves he, rather shrewdly, started to assign it to me. No one actually calls me Jack except for him but I used it when I first joined the Forum without really thinking it through.

As an aside, his surname Larsen actually became a verb. 'To Larsen someone' was to screw them over without malice. So someone who arranges to give you a lift somewhere and forgets has 'larsened you'. It really caught on to the point that when he got married two things happened. The first was that the belief that there was someone for everyone was finally proven beyond all doubt. The second was that his wife started to use the term as well.{sm4}

 

[larso]

I don't quite recall it all as is stated here? It seems a bit curious given I was in the Reserve for almost eight years - you were in for eight months? Though you were in long enough to establish a reputation as somewhat of a smart-alec. Or was it another word they used???

I did get my nickname of Larso from the army though. I was at the urinal with the CO and though I usually did my best to not be noticed by officers I was very much on display here, so to speak. He went to speak to me (though I'm sure there are supposed to be protocals against this in this situation) and actually went through several plays on my name before settling on Larso. And so I became known.

My brother liked it so much he asked his friends to call him that too. My sister didn't follow suit.....

Larso

I was in for 15 months and you might remember when I put that idiot corporal in his place. As for your toilet story, how many of your friends have you met in exactly this same manner?

If memory serves me, there was a TV show around 1962 or 1963 called "The Gallant Men", which was about the US Army during the Italian Campaign. One of the show's episodes was call "One Puka Puka", which was Hawaiian (I think) for 100. That particular show was about a squad action of the 100th Batt. -- Al

My last name is Guerriero, which in Italian means Warrior.

And people wonder why I love toy soldiers so much; it's in my blood, that's for sure.

 

[Gazza]

My screen name is Gazza.

Unfortunately, I was accused by several members of being anti-Isreal and pro-Palestinian because they thought my name was…...Gaza :rolleyes2:

They are quite different ^&grin

Sometimes I think you could not make up what is written on here

[fishead19690]

My screen name goes back to my bait fishing days and my favorite piece of bait, the fish head! And my Ebay name which is fishead19690 because its impossible to find an Ebay name that is not taken, so fish head went to fishead to fishead69 to fishead1969 ect.. ect... till I found one tha was not taken.
I was a lurker here on the forum for awhile before I joined up and I finally joined up because I was doing a sale deal with a forum member and I wanted him to know who I was from Ebay also to complete the deal.
I wish I would have gone with just Fish or fishead my nick name my fishing partners had given me for my preference to fishing with that piece of bait!
Years ago when I use to bait fish, when I was cutting up the bait fish to use as chunk bait I would always throw the heads into the shallow in front of me as chum thinking the head was a poor piece to use, but one day I learned two very good lessons!!!
I hooked up a real nice striped bass and the stomach was really bloated, so I cut her stomach open to she what she had been eating to make her so FAT!!! And to my amazement the belly was FULL of all the fish heads that i had been throwing a few feet in front of me in the shallow water just a few feet out!{eek3}
So the two lessons I learned were BIG bass like fisheads!!! and BIG bass are real close to shore at night!!!

So I would always be the guy reaching for the the head piece when the bait was cut up after that! And that piece stays on the hook better and longer also.
These days I,m a plug fishermen but the nickname stuck.

Here are just a couple of bass that fell to FISHEADS! In shallow water, just a few feet deep! I,m SO glad I checked the stomach of that fat bass to see what she had been eating, that was a great lesson learned!
Future searches of the stomachs also revealed that the most common bait found in there stomachs was Lobsters, that,s why they were in so close to shore. They were searching the rock piles close to shore for lobsters.
