Thread: Curious about names

Hawkman that ain't the only name she uses, and I don't mean "honey" either.

Mine comes from our oldest cocker spaniel, he's solid black and was named after a hyper blackface kid from a 30's cartoon series. It's probaly not PC, but anybody who might be offended isn't old enough to remember the cartoons. We once had a red mut named Mortimer Snerd, anybody know who that was?

That was Charlie McCarthy's dufous friend. Paul Winchell ripped off the character with Knucklehead Smith. Dang, I'm old. - Roberta

My "handle" has many meanings ......... but, to make a long story short, and get to the main reason for the name - I was taught how to fish by my grandfather. He and my Grandmother raised me from the 5th grade til I struck out on my own at 20 years old. (My parents divorced when I was in the 5th grade, and my Mom had her hands full with my younger sister & brother). My "grands" loved to fish, and Crappie fishing was their first love. They taught by example, but let me make my own decisions - and excel from the good ones, and suffer the consequences of the bad ones. I chose Crappiepappy as a way to honor them, for getting me into the wonderful world of Crappie fishing. Second to that ... it relates to my desire to help "teach" others about Crappie fishing, and pass on my knowledge and experience ..... like your "pappy" would. ..........cp

Before I was turned into a crappie nut :D I used to fish a lot for catfish. I was raised in the south and catfishing was a big part of growing up for me.I enjoyed eating and especially catching them because they put up such a big fight. After getting online a few years back I joined a catfish website and since I caught most of my catfish out of the river near my home in western pennslyvania.I choose parivercat as my nic. So when I found this website on crappie fishing with all the interesting crappie nics. I just keep my catfishing nic. I still catch a nice cat every now and then crappie fishing.

Especially when I mention going fishing again, or buying a new rod, or stay on the computer talking about fishing, or....

I was raised next To Shiloh Park in West Tn. And have fished the river there at Shiloh For close to 40 years. And have red hair. So I came up with ShilohRed
Everyone used to call me a river rat. AS I was raised on the Tn River below Pickwick Dam. But every board has a river rat. So had to come up with this one.

In 1950 I was crazy about baseball, the Brooklyn Dodgers specifically. That year the Phillies won the National League Pennant by 2 games over the Dodgers who had won in 1949. The Phillies were a young team and given the name Whiz Kids.
When I started playing fantasy baseball on the web I used the name Whizkids. I have used it in a lot of sites where it has not been taken and if it has I will add my birth year or state of residence. I just makes life on the web simpler for me.
