Explain Your Username

[Bird]

Mine's simple, too. In spite of folks thinking it's a nickname, I just use my real first name. No imagination or originality at all.:laughing:

 

[Wacky]

A nickname I got in grade school, (long story..) thought I out grew it. But, somehow it keeps surfacing, it also was how my 5 yr old pronounced our last name when he was first able to. So I just gave in!:laughing:

Thank you, I did miss it. I don't have time to read it now have to go to the
cities for my dads eightieth birthday day party. Tomorrow when I get back I plan on reading it.

 

[Baby Grand]

Years ago, Dad bought a used baby grand piano for $75 and had it moved into the livingroom. He plinked out old blues & jazz on it to drive away his frustrations. He also drove my Mom and us kids out of the house as he wasn't that good & didn't vary his set list much, but he had a grand old time and we all humored him.

My first and only tractor, a Kubota L3240, is the smallest of the Grand Ls; the baby of the line, so it seemed to fit. Besides, it reminds me of my dear old Dad who was a salt of the Earth sort of guy.

[soulasphil]

Just the result of my being dumb. Didn't quite realize what I was doing when filling in the blanks when I joined. This used to be my internet address and they are my real names.

 

[Mousefield]

Wife calls our place Mousefield Meadows so just used Mousefield. :confused2::laughing:

 

[YesDeere]

If I ever want to buy any new implements or parts or generally anything expensive and tractor related you give her the old yesdeere to her wants.

 

[2manyrocks]

Everytime I till my garden, I end up with 2manyrocks.

 

[bullbreaker]

User name comes from riding bulls along,long time ago as a hobby:laughing: also in minor rodeo leagues and small time events.Also at or in between worked as a bullfighter(not to be mistaken for bullfighters of Spain).As time went by I grew and got a little to heavy(and old) and a rodeoing buddy of mine started teasing me,saying one of these days your gonna "break the bulls".See traditionally bullriders tend to be around 5'-5'10"125 to 160lbs tops. I never made it to bigtime pro leagues(PBR,PRCA). Rodeo type events always was-is my alltime favorite sport.Thats me on right with two of my four sons and a great friend from church on left.The background you see is in our place in FLA(lots of white sand).

[om21braz]

My cousin and I finished a barter deal about the time I originally signed up. I built him a drum sander unit and he built me an outstanding replica of a 1930's Martin guitar. An OM21 with a German Spruce top and Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. It sounds far better than I.

 

[grnspot110]

Green tractors, spotted dog, garden tractors = grn-spot-110!

 

[tornadowatchranch]

my daughter's horse is sunny's tornado watch and we are in the middle of tornado alley thus the name of our place. My wife can up with it when we left the ugly city life for the spendid county life!

Real name is Jim; live near Wichita, Ks. which commonly is abbreviated "ict".

 

[D33r3 6r33N]

Mine, I live on a hill (road 37) and seems like it's aways windy. Funny, on a normally windy day to us we'll have guests over and they want to spend the entire time indoors. I guess they are afraid they are going to mess their hair!

 

[Schwermetall]

Schwermetall is German for Heavy Metal. Some people use the term Heavy Metal for tractors. I love heavy metal music and Germany so as a soon to be tractor owner I thought the name was just right for me.

Auf Wiedersehen

 

[czechsonofagun]

I wanted to put my origin in my handle, so I created sonofaczechgun and TBN gave me trouble. I had to reasign so I just flipped it around.
