What does everyone's username mean?

I’m Crazy, My name is ED, and I’m 27!

My nickname refers to the redwood tree, which is the largest tree in the world and also grows incredibly fast, which is what I want for PE, a “tree” that grows big in a short period of time. 1981 is my birth year.

Well, I’m a grower, not a shower. Or at least I was before I started PE, but that’s changing a little already. The OfficeMax commercials with that old song probably put the idea in my head.

I love the way these old threads from before I joined sometimes come back up.

I guess my name is pretty self-evident!! It was given to me by more than one partner, who, when I hauled it out, utttered the words, “You’re hung like a horse!!” It stuck!

Mine is part of my first and middle name in spanish. No real significance, Just a passion that I have for the spanish language.

Mine was kind of picked real fast, on the fly. The Oscar Mayer jingle was one of those tunes that haunted me as a kid, and I used to ad lib it, kind of like when I murder song lyrics just for shits and giggles.

“Oh, I’d love to have an Oscar Mayer wiener….” used to play in my head when I looked at my prepubescent flaccid super-turtle.

Plus the fact that I’m kind of a “hot dog” whenever it comes to sports, driving, or anything that makes you take a chance.

It’s kind of funny, I almost ran the weinermobile off the Long Island Expressway about 7 years ago. I don’t know whether it was some form of karmatic pull, but I almost took the poor dude out.

Then about 4 weeks ago, it was parked at the Penske shop here in Albany, and I would have died for a fucking camera, posed with it and had the granddaddy of all avatar shots.

I thought about changing my user name after hearing the lyrics to Great Whites “Mista Bone”, but the name sounded too “rappish” for me, so I just decided to stick with being the local hot-dog here.

‘Nuff said. :)

Self deprecation.

During a (all guys) high school hiking trip through Big Bend we all got caught in a nasty spring time rainstorm and had to strip and change clothes. One of the other guys (we were all seniors) looked at me and said “Rich, how come for such a little guy you have such a big dick”. Very nice- my reply now is I’m really a 6’ 3” black man in a 5’ 7” white man’s body. I really should send him CHristmas cards.

Course at the same time we all know it always looks bigger from across the way too…so I thought “Mr. P-P” reflected that view.

This is an interesting thread…

As for me, “Commander Blop” is a name taken from “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger.

It used to be my favorite book and I have probably read it over 10 times. I am getting a little old to say it is still my fave, but Holden Caulfield — the main character — is one of the greatest creations of fiction in American literature. (No, I am not as pompous as this post sounds! lol)

When Holden meets the date of an old flame who is from the military he says something like “his name was Commander Blop or something” dismissiveley. I thought it was funny and always remembered it for some reason…

Cdr.Blop
PS: I just found the actual quote on the web!

I thought I had posted in this thread before, but obviously I haven’t. It is very interesting to see the ideas behind all the names that are used.

When I got this computer the Christmas before last, I thought, another useless present, how ungracious and ungrateful can you be. But, knowing me, I figured it would remain in the box. However, I also got a mobile phone, which I couldn’t use either, a Siemens it was. I read the instructions over the holidays again and again and roped everyone in, but no-one could figure it out. I flung it in the corner on one occasion and it made a noise, so I picked it up and a recorded voice asked if I would like to register? I did of course, but I would also have liked to use it once in a while. Anyway it has a new owner now, so I thought, I am determined to get something to work, ah, the computer!.

By the end of the holidays it was up and running, minus the printer which is still in the box, a great saving on ink. I am afraid to hitch it up, as it might screw everything up and I won’t get to Thunder’s Place.

It was a fantastic feeling of achievement and I just needed a user name of course, but what to use that I wouldn’t forget? Bingo, my neighbour just got a new Boxer dog and as it was red, called it Russo. ‘That’s not how you spell it, it’s Rousseau’, hmmm he was an artist, I will use this myself, I only need to think ‘dog’, (no funny comments, please!), when I forget, which I will and it will come back to me. It was taken, but they suggested 506 as a possibility, so that was it really, all sorted, Peugeot 506, will help me remember that bit and it did.

So it was rousseau506, all done and dusted, though I do wish it was rousse, rouss or roussie, which seemed to have appeared here over time in T’s Place. Any of them would be more me.

:lep:

“Hog”: I weight 260lbs. down from 350lbs.
“6.5”: The BPEL I could measure while trying to hold the camera and measuring tape for my first pictures.

I explained it in my first post, by the way. Thought it was important, this thread confirms it.

Well that was a sweet little story.

I am brownman. I am a man and brown.

If I had it to do over, I would be Magnum P.E.!

Brilliant!

When I was trying to think of a name I was listening to a Cold Play album. I looked at the track listing and saw a song called Shiver.

I thought I posted here too Rousseau, oh well.

Mugwomp comes from a nickname my best friend of 30 years gave me. He was the only one that called me that. To this day I don’t know what it means, probably “asshole”. Anyway, he died just as I was joining here and figured I would use it in his memory.

There is a mugwump which is someone who is an independent, normally related to politics. I don’t know if that is accurate in your case or if this is the origins from your friend.
