How'd you come up with your online TheHogs.net Name?

I wasn't thinking about Gilligan when counting my three brains. The other two I was thinking of sit in jars on my shelf until a really tough problem comes along and I need the extra thinking capacity.

Yikes why did that comment remind me of Silence of the Lambs?? LOL
And I won't even comment about the Gilligan part. LOL

Gilligan, my little buddy that's always getting me in trouble.

There's something about a guy calling his "Gilligan" his "little buddy". That's just too much honesty.....

Too much trouble to get out photo shop and try to enlarge the picture so we can see it? :oops:

No, too much trouble to find good just a couple pictures in the book. There's ones of us at the beach. Us in those little 4 pic booth things. A whole bunch where we're trying on different pairs of sunglasses. Lots of pictures from parties. Even a couple of him wearing a lampshade. I guess that's what you get when you hang around with a couple of nuts all day.

I've been thinking of changing my name. I know if I asked for suggestions I'd get thinks like pyschobitch, so maybe I should just save myself the trouble and make that my name.

I wish I could change mine from FanfromAnnapolis to just "FFA" I hate having the words "Fan from" in my name.

NikiH · Post by **NikiH** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 8:49 pm

What's wrong with fan from?? How about if you change yours to Rock Star! ;-)

I happen to like your name. FFA is a result of fanfrom, right?

Then you'd have to explain what FFA is and it sounds too much like some government acronym.

Yours is cool to explain though. Its like a :shock:

I think his name spelled out is cool and plus it turned into a nice short name. 2 is better than one. I like how mine came out to CLL! Now if my name was just CLL then it wouldn't be as cool.

1. You live with me, it should be pretty self-explanatory

2. It just seemed like the logical monnicker for the webmaster of TheHogs.net

3. Ego

Buge's nickname had nothing to do with it?

As far as the Boss and living with Tazlah, everybody would say yes for now, but really take exception to that claim. The Boss in the website, yes. The boss at home? :hmm:

Irn-Bru · Post by **Irn-Bru** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 9:20 pm

NikiH, it's just that everyone puts the Redskins, or Fan, or Gibbs, or Hog, or a location, something into their name. In my opinion, the best names are the most original, and they give more personality. But enough on the philosophy of names for web-based football discussion. . .

Back when I was at 150 posts or so I realized my mistake and thought about creating a second name, "Irn-Bru", based off of the popular soda in the UK and posting with that.

I didn't, though, because I thought I was 'too far' into posting with my first name. :oops:

You all could be talking to Irn-Bru right now if I had just bitten the bullet and made the switch.

Of course, 2 names is illegal, and one should never do it. . . [-X

NikiH · Post by **NikiH** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 9:27 pm

I like FFA or FanFromAnnapolis better! It is how I know you and I'm not sure the other would have grown on me quite as much. So even if you switched you'd still be FFA to most of us here.

I actually had a second name but never got it work so I had to create a new one. :oops:

I was trying to be Burgundy&Gold but the symbol screwed it up every time.

Redskin in Canada · Post by **Redskin in Canada** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 9:33 pm

Let me explain mine because it is real complicated: I call myself Redskin in Canada because I am a Redskin fan in Canada. Get it? :wink:

Seriously, I thought this fan was populated by 100% posters from the USA. I did not know its international character, let alone that the admin, some mods, and several posters live in ...

... you guessed it.

I like the acronym too: RiC

But I am no Richard at all.

Seemed like the no-brainer name for a webmaster of theHogs.net... I'm big on no-brainers.
