Location: south east Michigan | When I signed up here I was at a peak of a WHO fan phase. I thought "Slipkid" was a good name. To me the song talks about the continueing struggle with youth long after youth has left.
If I had it to do over again I would just call myself "Brad" but, being new to bulletin boards I thought having a "handle" was required.
Some names here are easy to figure out but some are not. So...Whoooo Are You...who/who...who/who?
And what's behind the code name? |

Location: NJ | Good thread.
Maybe now I can find out the real name of the person behind the highly cryptic moniker "Paul Templeman" and what his thought rationale was in choosing it . . .
btw:
my "screen name" comes from my favorite place to take a llama for a romantic tryst . . . . when ya' take 'em to the edge of a cliff they push back harder . . . |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Well, my screen name is pretty obvious. But my son also is an OFC member, although I don't think he every really posts. His name is Tupperware, which probably very few of you will catch the double meaning to that. |

Location: Upper Left USA | I have to ask myself "What were you thinking?".
Not frequent to BB's and used to having to set up a dozen different logins at work as MWoodford I thought it was short and sweet. Besides, how long would it last?
If I had to do it over I go by Al or Paul! Actually I enjoy being mistaken for Moody and my "best" logon name is "fishgiven" which I pulled out of Matthew 7:7+. |

Some members have asked me what style of Country Artist am I? ;)
Well, I don't play country music, but I am a fan of the old, real country music and old country artists.
I love Bluegrass, old bluesman Robert Johnson and most good retro music. But I mainly play Latin Jazz and improvisational music.
I chose it of course because while visiting the board as a non member, I saw members used Ovation model names, like Adamas, Custom Legend, etc.
So I chose Country Artist first because is my favorite model, and second because it was not taken.
I would rename this 14 fret nylon string guitar the "Latin Artist" model. Since no Country Artist has played it since Glen C. and a few others for years.
There are still a few O model names left to use as handles, like........oh, you figure them out.

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | Well I guess my screen name could have come from a few things.
I could be a be big Chuck Berry Fan (short for Johnny B. Goode).
I could have been in a police line up of a hooker's customers. No Cliff, that DIDN'T really happen.
I could have gotten the name from my favorite stall in the men's room at the office, (right between A and C). Although that one is highly unlikely.
Turns out, I just got my screen name from my father about 38 years ago. Pretty boring. |

| I happen to live in the Adirondacks and I find Most people respond to my address as Ohhh.... Up in the "north country". So I figured I would save time and anounce it right up front. Besides, like some of the rest of us, when you first join you are not sure if you will stay a member of the group? I love my Ovations but I was not sure how many NUTZ I might find in here and how much of an EFFORT it may be trying to explain my posts to the WACKEY bunch in here.
So my handle was a quick pick but I guess it is different enough now that I am used to it. I use my name at the end of my posts anyway.... I hate having to address people using their code names??
I always figured code names are for Kids or other web sites where it may be better for users to remain anonimous.

What does your screen name mean?
