When i made this name i was working for the strength and conditioning staff at the university of tennesse- martin, hence the big martin…i no longer go there but dont want ot change the name…it has nothing to do with my real name ross bowsher…
My company name is LOOP Performance Systems. I don’t really know how I came up with that name, it was about 7 years ago. I just wanted something that sounded catchy and it also refers to “being in the loop”, in other words being on top of the latest info.
Well, The late, Great (…est musician ever), Jeff Buckley wrote a (phenomenal) song called Mojo Pin , which is an old euphemism for a drug needle. Hence my handle declares my stance on drugs (not just the needles!)
Been readung the comics since I could read.
good thread.
DMB - “CRUSH” (Before These Crowded Streets):
“Crazy - I’m thinking - Just knowing that the world is round - and here I’m dancing on the ground - am I right side up, or upside down - is this real? - or am I dreaming?”
DMB is my favorite band and I like the phrase because it’s familiar (as in normal in language) and it connotes a sort of positive outlook, vibe, etc., which I hope to maintain.
Moisture is code for, “I’m thick and vascular.”
Me and my friends made a movie of buying cheap cars and jumping them/ random pranks/ drinking escapades/working out and named it twisted local (BEFORE ALL THOSE MOVIES CAME OUT AND PEOPLE BEGAN COPYCATTING) and the name twisted local carried over to me and my best friends paintball team that we started up and i’ve always used it for stuff like this. Now my friend has a tattoo of it on his back and i’m gettin it somewhere probably on my shoulder or something. We used to always train together but now that we have graduated hes moved to a different city than me so i guess its a way of saying friends to the end. Sounds gay but whatever loyalty is loyalty
This is a really interesting thread.
My name sucks compared to these stories. It comes from my name plus my college football number (#89). I added the zero because I use this name for practically everything and adding the “0” helps me ensure that I get it.
Sorry it’s not like the number of Charlie’s I killed bare handed during the Tet Offensive or anything like that.
Only one smart enough to be named smarts.
I agree with whoever said it first, this IS a good thread idea. Anyway, mine isn’t such a big deal. The 1132 is the street number of my last address, back when I made my account here, and a lothario is a “seducer of women”.
I had a teacher nickname that in grade school. I was always head and shoulders bigger than all the other kids in the class(Almost 6’ by the 6th grade). Anyway one day I was following the back of the line in class and all the little ducks were in front of …you guessed it Babyhuey! Looking back it must have been a pretty funny site. Over the years it just stuck. Most of my friends now just call be Huey.
I have to agree this is a pretty good thread!
My name began it’s famous history in high school. I fell in love with this girl, who would never have the same feelings for me that I did for her…After a summer, I had lost about 20 lbs of fat and people were starting to complement me on how much better I was looking, etc…Anyways, I would always tell her that one day, she would be sorry about the time she passed up on me…Plus, as it is a life slogan for me, it is also tattooed on my body…OneDay…
I was running naked in the park one day when aliens abducted me. They started anally probing me when…
Oh wait, wrong story.
I am a magician, and I have been working on an idea for the past few years for a stage routine involving the story of an apprentice evolving into a sorcerer. I named the character The Mage.
I attempt to get that sign on name whenever I can. I am surprised at how often it is taken though.
When I couldn’t get Bull I had to come up with something else, Bilt just happened to be available.
rep9210: I was a bit disappointed with the real story behind your handle. I had imagined that it referred to that magical moment where hypertrophy is triggered, i.e. somewhere between rep 9 and rep 10. That’s what I get for thinking too much.
Well… it’s like when you call a big guy tiny… that’s the way it is for me… only I am actually short… and named Dave… so yeah… not like that big guy/tiny analogy at all. I should be stupiddave… or daveneedstoshutup
It’s the name of my Diveshop, Moose Divers. That name started as a joke but we kept it and suddenly people started to call me Mr Moose. They thought it was my surname!!
My dad ran a private lifting club in the 50’s called Bosco Barbell Club, named after the old cartoon character that used to grace the posters demonstrating various barbell exercises. My dad had tons of sweatshirts made, some of which remained stacked in a drawer at home long after the gym closed. I started wearing the sweatshirt to school in junior/senior high school, and it’s been my nickname ever since. (Still have all the original Jackson barbell equipment, as well as a couple of the sweatshirts.)
easy…“heavy athletics” i.e. ‘the scottish games’ PLUS my fraternity nickname “Sprout” which I went by all through college and on every sports team I have been on since then.
I got my name from the last song on Metallica’s Master Of Puppets which is Damage Inc. It is their best song!
My full name is Stuart Robert Bell…
Some times I get called Stubob… I’ve had other nicknames suchas Bellend, Bigbell, chunk. Neither of which are very flattering, so I went with Stubob. I have the same name at other boards as well except for Total Elite where it’s my full name.
Cheers
Stubob
