Well, in another thread people were wondering about how a fellow poster came up with his name. Then that got others to thinking about what the hell all of our screennames mean. So go ahead, spill your innermost secrets. At least, tell us how your screenname came to be.

Scrumtrilescent: Will Ferrell, before making crappy movies like Kicking and Screaming and Bewitched, was one of the only saving graces of SNL. One of his most infamous impersonations was James Lipton, the Actor's Studio man. In one skit, Lipton/Ferrell was interviewing Charles Nelson Reilly and this crept up:

...Nor, indeed, was the world.. nor history.. nor anything that the human eye has ever captured. When one thinks of CNR, one's mind goes right to Match Game. That show was delightful. No. No. It was brilliant. No, no, no, no. There is no word to describe its perfection, so I am forced to make one up. And I'm going to do so right now. Scrumtrilescent...You are a modern master. Already a huge success on Broadway, you easily crossed over into film. In 1984, you portrayed Don Don Canneloni.. in Cannonball Run 2. A performance so scrumtrilescent, I can barely move...I am born anew in your genius...I am not alone in thinking that you make Gandhi look like a child pornographer. For Inside the Actor's Studio.. I'm James Lipton.

Here is mine copied from the other thread (its sort of lame...but I've used the same screen name in many places since I was first on the internet)

w2 -- my initials are ww and I was called "w squared" by a person a long time ago and sort of liked it.

80 -- the year I was born

sax -- I was very into the saxophone for a long time. Not so much anymore, but I still remember it fondly.

If I'd known I would post so much here, I would have thought of a better name...but oh well.

You can call me Sax for short, if you prefer.

I was born on a distant planet and given this name by my creator. I came to this earth in a phantom prison that was destroyed by a nuclear bomb. My goal now is to conquer the world and have mankind serve me. I also like long walks on the beach, lasagna, and a good single malt scotch.

Mine's boring. The very first message board I joined was about 4 years ago, and it was the official panthers message board. I joined it first just intending to read - and joined using my real name - didn't know any better. It was months before I ever posted, and by then I had figured out that I shouldn't use my real name. I put about a minute of thought into it because I wanted to post something then, rejoined using Go To Girl because they're always talking about who the Go To Guy is regarding receivers and I wanted something football related. I've kept it because people know me now through the many, many message boards I've been on. I shorten it to GTG often.

Cooter = Something I love.

Actually Cooter from the Dukes of Hazzard is a good ol boy and I admire im.

I remember when you and a whole bunch of other huddlers changed their names all at the same time. I'm convinced you all did it to confuse me, but now I can't even remember what the old names were - at least some of them.

Well mine is actually a cross between several things. Spirit was the name of my faithfull companion and best friend for numerous years. I got him while backpacking in Alaska - 1/2 german shephard (moms side) and 1/2 who knows. He was the runt of the litter in a trailer park of a village which had exactly 1 dog -- the mom. He was pure white, ended up to be 110 pounds of pure muscle. When he died I started going with 4spirit -- as in this nickname is in memory of him. Well -- when I joined the panthers board I added the saints to the mix because I did not want decieve the board on my ultimate loyalties.

My dog now is doberman/ rottie/ GS mix -- named arrow. For trivia -- arrow was the dog in a childrens show -- the land of point --- and referenced in the song Me and My Arrow.

God how I hated that!! :evil:

I remember some of them, though...

KP45Fan, SportYoungblood, Focker

Not sure who else changed, but I'm sure there were others...

On most boards, I'm SCPantherfan.(I'm from SC-So pretty easy to figure out)

Darth Waya is a play on two things-One I'm obviously a fan of Star Wars, and Two, whenever somebody would put up one of those silly "How Evil Are You?" or "What Movie Villain are you?" quizzes, I'd score insanely evil every time (One said my heart was as black as Vader's helmet) or get Vader. So the Darth is a play on that.

Waya is the Cherokee word for wolf, and my Yahoo screen name is Waya Ohni or "First Wolf"(I wanted something guaranteed to be unique and that reflected my heritage)

When I registered here, SCPantherfan was taken, so I picked Darth Waya as part of an ongoing joke from the other board.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
