[Guiness]

Guiness -
I get involved in anything I can. If someone's doing something, I'm in like Flynn! You name it, I've done it. I'm not saying I'm good at it all, just that I'm always involved.
So an old girlfriend's roomate didn't like me, and thought I lied about all the things I'd done. One night, at a party I'm talking to her boyfriend about something (ok, it was moose hunting!) and she yells "ya right, you oughta be in the fucking book!" I asked which book, and she said the Guiness book of Records, cause I've done @#$ everything.
It stuck *shrug*

Polar Bear was Tank's invention, AFAIK. He complained that TT was hibernating when he wasn't doing anything. Only funny damn thing he's ever done!

[Bretsky]

Bretsky

I use to be on a traveling tournament softball team that went around the state and won money. We all had nicknames on back of our uni's. My name is Brett. I pitched.

I was good back before my stomach began looking like Andy Reid's. Being an easy going guy, but a leader on the field, they began calling me the Great and Terrible Bretsky.

Kind of a spif off of Wayne Gretsky; unfortanely he was a lot more famous and has about a Billion more dollars than I have.

After the second daughter was born, my weekend softball tournament career came to an end since my wife actually wanted me home all the time

But the name lives on.

Cheers,
B

Where did you guys come up with polar bear anyway? Why not grizzly or perhaps a bear that is native to Wis.?

Tank came up with it. Polar Bear because Ted Thompson has a lot of white in his hair, and he's always hibernating in his cave. Do Polar Bears hibernate?

[MJZiggy]

I have no idea...they sure like cold and have a lot of fur though.

[Partial]

I agree

Female polar bears do; ted thompson is a female polar bear.

Nope, but I've read about the guy and he's amazing.

[oregonpackfan]

Obviously, I was not very creative in coming up with my name. Nor could I relate any interesting events in my drinking days.

So, being drab, dull, and boring(or so my kids tell me) I just use the state where I have lived the past 16 years.

Oreonpackfan(born and raised in Wisconsin--my only redeeming trait)

[Badgepack]

Big fan of the Badgers

Big fan of the Packers

This needed to be bumped

[BallHawk]

I picked mine out 'cuz I'm Mike..........and Iron Mikes are always badass!!!!!

You gonna argue with this guy?

[BallHawk]

Well, my name is relatively simple. The term Ballhawk is used for someone that always goes after the ball. AJ Hawk does that, and his last name is Hawk.

Ballhawk, proud VP of the Hawk Jocksniffers Club!

[red]

longtime family nickname. i think all males in my family have gone by it at one time or another

Wow, Eddie Feigner. My dad took me to see him in Lancaster, WI when I was a young pup, about 8 years old or so. He and his team were amazing -- kind of the Harlem Globetrotters of softball. The funny thing is that I had basically forgotten about him until about a month ago when my dad and I somehow brought him up in conversation. Now I find him mentioned here.

superfan -- well, nothing special with this name. When I first found this board I didn't know what to expect, and didn't want to throw any revealing personal information out there, so I picked something generic. Sorry!

[Mazzin]

Mr. Redman I presume?

Either way my name is mAzzin, notlike aMAZING! Its mazzin, it was my name givin to me by my 9th grade spanish teacher (it actually means raincloud, but I like how it sounds) So it stuck, and i use it for Xbox live, AIM, E-mail, and ALL forums i join....it just fits i guess!
