I have always admired the gunslingers of the old west. I may not wear a hat or be that terribly fond of horses but I identify with the old west style gunslinger. I know that guns and the gunslinger attitude are not politically correct but it fits me. So I use the handle gunslinger often with my zip code for most of the things I do on the Internet.

Actually the gunslinger character has been represented in many cultures throughout history. He is normally portrayed as honorable, just, strong and brave. In the distant past he is represented by the Samurai in ancient Japan, and by the Knights of ancient Europe. In the old west he is represented by the real and fictional characters portrayed in Hollywood westerns. He is often the only one willing to stand up against the evil that would harm the weak and innocent.

Mine kinda came from the possum lodge...Ranger Steve is usually taken, and well, Bob is just a short, easy name to type, cept I have to use a 0 instead of O.

For those that don't know, Possum Lodge is from the Red Green show on PBS. Its great...I think its canadian too...You canucks can help me out here, eh?

**Clint** · 10-22-2005, 01:07 PM

You have to use an O rather than an O?

**Trapper** · 10-22-2005, 08:09 PM

Yup, Red Green is Canadian. He ate in my restaurant this summer. We don't get a lot of celebs around these parts.

**Clint** · 10-22-2005, 08:15 PM

You haven't explained yourself in either forum, trap. What's the deal-io?

**Trapper** · 10-22-2005, 08:20 PM

Yeah I did. Here's what I said...

Huh. Musta missed it.

So you're into beavers, then?

Cliff · 10-22-2005, 08:59 PM

Well ... It's my first name.

wayout1 · 10-22-2005, 10:06 PM

Many many many moons ago the nick name Way-Out was tagged. As much a close pronunciation of my last name as a match to my personality and ideas. Granted there are a few other choice words ive been called. About the same time I got the name I got into the entertainment industry so its somewhat fitting. Its been my company name and screen name forever. Besides... it still fits with some of my hairbrained ideas or comments.

My trade is a Coppersmith

Pinhy · 10-22-2005, 11:35 PM

QuacktheDuck · 10-22-2005, 11:50 PM

Ducks are my favorite animal because they're weird, goofy yet funny little critters, and so am i...or so i'm told by my gf

. As a result I have alot of toy ducks/stuffed ducks, etc. Guess it's a collection of sort (no i didn't buy any of them, all were given as gifts). And well the general saying is ducks quack (though in reality if you listen closely it's more like quark and not quack) so there you have it, quacktheduck

**Trapper** · 10-23-2005, 09:08 AM

Hey Wayout, are you some kind of celebrity?

Dwayne Hicks · 10-23-2005, 12:25 PM

The previous chat forum I joined was a combined forum and chatroom - hundreds of members around the globe, discussing anything star wars, stark trek or sci-fi related (I am a star wars nut, and movie freak). My original name was cellblock1138 (the cell they "transferred" Chewie from in A New Hope while making up a story to get in and rescue Princess Vespa.) I got fed up of people calling me "cell" and "block", so I changed it to Dwayne Hicks, the corporal played by Michael Biehn in Aliens. Also, it was original, as no one else used anything like it. There were plenty of morons called Yoda176 etc. "I'm sorry, Han Solo is taken. Would you like to use Han Solo173644 instead??

farmbone · 10-23-2005, 03:20 PM

Bone Thuz and Harmony is a music group. Some of the group was called something-Bone. So I chose Farmbone.

**Clint** · 10-23-2005, 03:23 PM

Umm, oh. That makes complete sense.
