    New Boots:
    Well, about 15yrs ago when I started using my first internet "handle"...it was the "leet" alphanumeric type. I still use it some places, but it didnt seem like a good fit here.

    I decided to use "New Boots" because that's a term I use to refer to the new guys around work. So, me being new to Cigars...it seemed a good fit.
    And here I thought it was a fashion statement. "These boots were made for walkin' ".....

    aaaaahhhh you're THOSE guys! I'll see your leave form and raise you "an A1C sending an email to the wing commander without going through anyone's chain of command" and "nuked all information on Group Commander's Secret computer because his helper dude gave an A1C the go ahead after he assured said A1C it was OK for said computer to get a new operating system put on it"

    Hmm.. well, when you say New Hampshire, is that set in stone? I mean, have you considered the old Hampshire? I'm sure they'd love to have you. Was there an incident that makes you consider only one Hampshire in your search? Don't you think its rude to everyone else if you up and go take up their space in this 'New Hampshire" area?

    It is, it's set in Granite. That said, I haven't even considered the other Hampshires? Should I? Will the other Hampshires be jealous?… let down?… upset with my lack of foresight? I have been called "rude" before, insensitive too… maybe you're onto something here. I may have to re-think this whole username concept.

    First car I bought as my own was a 96 Dodge Avenger. Spent way too much money on the car but loved to drive the crap out of it. Back then I joined a car club forum and the recommended name was Avengethis. I've kept it for probably too long but I dont see changing it anytime soon.

    Since I started smoking, I have never had a person to smoke with, its always been solo. And when you're solo on a deserted Island (think "Cast Away"), you start talking to things. So, I spoke to my cigar, and the first thing he ever said to me was, "Ash Me!" So, I did. The avatar, well, I am still alone and it felt comforting to have my ash tray wink and smile at me.

    Beaker38 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 184
    The name Beaker Was given to me at the fire house like on the first day or second i was there. one of the members walked into the room and said "ha you kinda look like beaker (from the Muppets)" it has been my name at the fire house ever since. the name Bunson was given to my brother shortly after that.

    The 38 is for the number on one of the newer and one of my favorite trucks at the fire house. here is a photo of it at the first fire i ever went to back in 2009. i believe that might be me moving hose in the orange helmet. image

    At one time I wanted to start an online magazine about "big people" fashion because I'm tired of paying fat tax on clothes and being limited to shirts with wild game or hunting dogs on them and I called it BignBalln but it was a lot more work than I anticipated so it never took off. Much like most of my ideas lol
