[TerryTate]

I went to Don Bosco Prep High School in Ramsey, NJ, and we are the Ironmen (all boys school obviously). Just like to show my support for my hometown boys. 8 was my number for almost every Varsity sport I played.

[NDPhilly]

[NankerPhelge]

Well, I've never been diagnosed, but I think I might have a touch of multiple personalities. I have several alter-egos that "come out" when the situation warrants. For example, Clovie Bobo and Tavarius Echols are two half-brother characters I have created and had loads of fun with over the years. Tavarius called my cousin, who is the C.O.O. of a local bank, several times and asked to be called back (which he never was). When Tavarius finally got through, he attempted to borrow $10,000 (with no collateral) to buy a used barbecue smoker so he could sell sandwiches--out of the bank's parking lot. "Praise the Lord, a good business deal for both of us. Your customers are happy cause they're getting that great BBQ when they come to your bank, I'm happy because I'm making money, and you're happy because I'm paying the loan back." When he hemmed and hawed, Tavarius' tough half-brother, Clovie Bobo, got on the phone and took over with the pitch (punctuated with veiled threats of a discrimination lawsuit). The cousin fell for it hook line and sinker, and when he found out it was me, there was just dead-silence on the phone for about 15 seconds, and then it was just "Nanker, you son-of-a-bitch. I've been telling everybody in the bank for the last month that if some idiot named Tavarius Echols calls for me, don't under any circumstances let him get through to me." Anyway, one story.

I also have, it seems, an Eddie Haskell side. I just like to play jokes on people. So, yes, Mr. McGibblet it was me screwing with your tag. Hope you're not mad. I figured out a few days ago (I'm not all that computer savvy) that you changed mine to "This Tongue Tosses Salad" in retaliation. Hell, I had no idea what that meant. I thought it was a compliment--I'm thinking of beautiful women and my talented tongue. Then, when BeauBenken commented on my tag, and I told him how proud I was of it, he responded something like "REALLY? To each his own!" That was when I started smelling a rat, and when he said "you really have no idea what that's slang for do you," I checked it out. I thought if was freaking hilarious, but couldn't believe how stupid I was not to know that, thus my own tag now, which constantly reminds me to have some humility. But, I can take a joke as well (or better, maybe) than I can dish one out. Hope nobody took offense, I was just turned on by one of our other illustrious members about that feature that lets you change other's title, and my Eddie Haskell personality just went crazy, messing with everybody's tag and laughing his *** off. No offense meant and hopefully none taken. I particularly thought "Fast As Lightning" for Old Man Mike was much better than "Old and Slow," especially when, coincidentally it seemed, he posted a story about "waxing" someone's "***" on the basketball court at one time. Fast As Lightning, indeed.

Now to the name and avatar that GreatDayne asked about. I have been a huge Rolling Stones fan almost as long as I have been an ND fan. When I first signed up as a member here, all the ND stuff just seemed kind of predictable to me (no offense to anyone). So, I just put up the old Stone's tongue, and picked for my user name the psuedonym that Jagger and Richard used on their first few songs that they wrote together, which they did because, if the songs flopped, they didn't want anybody to know they wrote them. A "Nanker" is an ugly face they used to make by pulling the bottom eyelids down with their fingers while pushing their nostrils up with their thumbs (try it, it's fun!). Phelge was the last name of Jimmy Phelge, a disgustingly dirty and sloppy friend who lived with them in a little flat when they first started out.

So, hope this wasn't too long. Again, if anybody is mad about my little joke, PM me and I'll change it back and donate some vBucks to you for reparations, if that would cure any vHarm I have done.

 

[Riddickulous]

I've actually changed my name twice.

First it was ClausentoFloyd. I was quite the immature one back in the day (not even two years ago). Had a couple of terrible rants after the Michigan game, also at halftime of the MSU game. Also had my first jinx, breaking Floyd's collarbone and tearing ligaments in Clausen's toe.

Then it was ShaqEvansIsGod. He transferred. Overwhelmed with sadness, I changed it again.

...To Riddickulous. I like Theo Riddick and make ridiculous predictions.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

So, yes, Mr. McGibblet it was me screwing with your tag. Hope you're not mad. I figured out a few days ago (I'm not all that computer savvy) that you changed mine to "This Tongue Tosses Salad" in retaliation.

Haha, I'm not mad. I actually felt bad when I found out you didnt kow what it meant. Changing people's user titles is part of the fun of the site.

I havent changed my title back yet....

 

[TerryTate]

Terry Tate is a legend. I am a legend. Seemed fair.

 

[johnnykillz]

I'm kind of digging the current title until a new one appears. Mine has been FBAR'ed for about two weeks now...

Random acts of violence and what not.

 

[NankerPhelge]

Well, somebody told me you really liked chunky chicks. Just trying to be helpful!

 

[johnnykillz]

lol. Now I understand it. LOL! LMFAO!

Damn cheap entertainment...

Alright. I'm ok.




LMFAO LOL OH **** SON OF A BITCH LOL!




Who gave me the other title you rhymed with?



Damn.

 

[NankerPhelge]

Glad it made you laugh. As to your question, I don't know the answer to that.

 

[dre1919]

dre is my nickname, and my name is "Andrew" and it's the middle part. 19 is my favorite number repeated twice. I use this handle on every message board online, so it's basically my online persona.

Bert is my nickname since I was 15 or so. 28 is my sports number, someone had bert28 for an email so I added the 34 for Kerry Wood.

Bowling Green Irish Fan?(BGIF)

 

[IrishinSyria]

I joined the site when I was living in Syria, and the lack of Notre Dame football was killing me. Little did I know that I was doubling down on my addiction.

 

[NDinFL]

I love the Irish, and I'm in Florida. If I ever move back home I'll change handle to IrishInMn.

basically the same thing.... I didn't know that there was someone that had a name so similar otherwise I would have come up with something a little more clever.

Side Note: I'm amongst a LOT of Miami fans, and it was very very sweet after we crushed them in the Sun Bowl.

[RyCo1983]

The Flying Alamo was a spur of the moment name that got blurted out whilst naming created professional wrestlers on the old N64 WWF games actually. haha
Can't remember if it was me or a buddy who said it...but I liked it...and used it for an email address...just kind of stuck after that

I've had theflyingalamo@yahoo.com since I was in the 9th grade. It is still my primary email addy. I'm also theflyingalamo on EVERYTHING...be it message boards, PSN, etc.

Nanker, found out over the weekend peanuts do make me horny spot on brother!

I figured being from Georgia, you would have figured that out a long time ago! Have been to Savannah every year for the last five, and the oysters down there do the same thing. Give me some oysters and some boiled peanuts, and I am a love machine.

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

oh i know about peanuts but i went this weekend to get some and boil them for the game and could not find any. so watching the game and thinking about them gave me a chubbie. had some cajun flavored couple months ago really good!!!

Mine is my xbox live gamertag. I picked it because I used to hand out beat downs via sports and shooter games. I added the Admiral because it sounds fresh.
