Your 2 Bills Drive name

[Dukestreetking]

My call sign in Iz and Afg (elsewhere it was AnvilMike6...too hard to explain).

 

Anyway, comes from "Backstreets"...

 

Where desperate lovers park they sat with the last of the Dukestreet Kings.

 

I hadn't been able to follow a full season since 2001 as I was always somewhere else, so to speak.

 

As soon as I knew that part of life was over, I joined the board in Oct 2019 but kept the call sign to remind me of the fallen.

[BuffaloBill]

My “real” name is Bill. How BuffaloBill was still available on a Bills board by the time I joined remains a “huh” moment for me.

How does William turn into Bill... never have figured that one out. Debra Deb, Joseph Joe...

[The Poojer]

Buddy of mine at Fred State morphed my first name PJ to Poojer....it's stuck with my college friends all these years later

Got me. The difficult thing is that there are three of us in the family. I am a Jr., and my nephew is named Bill after his paternal grandfather.  (Sadly, he is an Eagles fan and to beat all his father likes the Dolfarts. )

Reminds me of a joke my nephew said recently....

 

"How do you get Dick from Richard?  You ask nicely."

I am not a big Darry Talley fan.  I just wanted to choose a name of someone who maybe isn't one of the first players who comes to mind when you think of Bills greats.  It's just one of may ways of being different from everyone else.  Heck, I even have a Donte Whitner jersey.

1967 Rolling Stones song. Very psychedelic. Band hates the album but it has some hidden gems.

[PastaJoe]

About 30 years ago I was running a mens softball team at work, and the guys called me papa Joe because I took care of everything. But then one guy said I should be pasta Joe because I could eat so much pizza. So the name stuck even though I’m not Italian.

Looked at that quickly, and read it as mensa softball team.

0 and 20, but their calculation of the trajectories of opponents' hits were mathematically perfect.

[CountDorkula]

I was drunk after a game and signed up.

 

I literally have no idea how or why.  

[Irv]

Got thrown off BBMB. Came over as Badthingsman.  But there was already BadThings here. So switched to Irv.  If I ever get tossed here will switch to “Clip”.

It's a vernacular thing from Old Europe

 

Where it was trendy to replace one letter of a name.. and rhyme it

 

Richard became Rick for short.. Rick became dick

 

William, became will.. they replaced the w with a b

 

So will, became bill

A simple response.. I like boats. And I once spent 4 years at sea. There's nothing like it.

[GETTOTHE50]

My best friend and I were playing nuketown on call of duty about 15 years ago, and for those who don’t know, nuketown is one of the more chaotic and intense maps in the game.

 

anyways, this guy on our team kept screaming ‘GET TO THE 50’ during his rage. (We think it meant to get to the middle of the map)

 

my friend and I were dying in laughter the whole time; and now we use it as a motivational slogan to never quit and do whatever it takes. I also thought it was proper for a message board name haha
