Genesis of your screen name

[97bills]

The year my son was born , 

[Deadstroke]

Billiard bar (pool hall, for the rough guys) in La Paz, Bolivia, a country in which I lived for a number of years.

[metbill]

Well, I am a Mets and Bills fan.

I put alot of thought into my screen name. I looked all through the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. I didn't have a Bible, so I had to Trespass in my neighbor's house and steal their baby's bible, causing him to cry. I guess that you could call that a Nursery Cryme. The mother was pretty mad, but calmed down after we danced a Foxtrot. Then I took a job where I was Selling England by the Pound, but I got fired. Then I tried a job as a shepherd, but it didn't work because the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Street and Union Road. I Tried a Trick of the Tail, but he wouldn't get up. Maybe he couldn't hear me because of the Wind and Wuthering.

 

By now I had a dozen screen names in mind, so I drank a 6-pack ... And Then There Were Three. My friend Duke suggested I use ABACAB. He swore it was in the book of Genesis, but that must have been written with an Invisible Touch because I didn't see it in there. Then the baby's mother who I stole the Bible from decided that We Can't Dance any more. She wanted to have me arrested, so she started Calling All Stations. I booked out of there. I was so scared I couldn't think of a screen name, so I just used my initals.

[Haslett_Stomp]

A childhood memory of Jim Haslett deliberately stepping on Terry Bradshaw's head after Bradshaw lost his helmet while being tackled.

[Yawning Frog]

My grandson asked me if I ever seen a frog yawn

[Joe Ferguson]

I became a Bills fan after Joe Ferguson beat the Jets in the playoffs.

[judman]

Judman was a nickname given to me in 7th grade.  I told that to my friend Steve and his response was "No sh*t, couldn't tell."

 

My birth name is Justin, but I've gone by the name Jud for most of my life.

Trick of the Tail, used to be my favorite album.  BTW, Phil Collins looks real real bad, if he makes into the new year I will be surprised.

Mine is a play on when “Clapton is God” was appearing in the UK. The rest are a self explanatory. He was the greatest.

[Buffalosouth]

Forgot my old login and had to make a new one.

I’m old, but Jet memories in the playoffs do not stand out to me since their QB wore pantyhose!   

[purple haze]

If I found a time machine, Hendrix, in concert,  would be my first stop.

Keeping hope alive for a return to the 24/7 “No Huddle” attack 🤷🏼‍♂️…we have the horses once again to make it happen!

Mine is an homage to accepting impermanence.

 

At the time I joined, I had lurked off and on in chunks of time for several years. I was in the process of moving to a city where I had no ties for the third time in 4 years and would be leaving some close friends who had become family in the process. I was also in a strained marriage that I think I subconsciously recognized would ultimately fail. I was experiencing an overwhelming feeling of transience the day I finally signed up, just 2 weeks before the move; not a positive or negative feeling, just an acceptance of the fact that life is everchanging, in my case a fact that is compounded by my tendency toward boredom and, at least from a career sense, a tendency to look toward greener pastures.

 

Now 13 years on from that day, my life is fundamentally the same. Among other things, I've moved another 4 times and am gearing up for a move to ATL in the next several months. My pattern of activity followed by stretches of radio-silence on TBD has continued. Fortunately, the relationship part is not in flux. I've found someone that seems to be as up for a new adventure as I am this time around, even if she is a Who Dat.

 

Cheers!
