How did you come up with your User Name? - Page 4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Thanks

You get used to the name of your town, forget it sounds pretty funny. There is a small river running through town that is pretty twisty. Apparently the original natives thought one of the bends looked like the jaw bone of a moose, so the story goes. The town was also mentioned in that old hockey movie Slapshot.

My wife named my truck Tigger because the color (med red) reminded her of Tigger from Winnie the Pooh & with it's stiff springs (K20) it's "bouncy" when going down a rough road

Clearly I was thinking about guns instead of my truck. SMH.

A reference to the center ring on a silhouette target at a shooting range, worth 10 points. It can refer to the ten ring on the target itself.

I typical don't venture into this part of the forum, but I did today. Glad I did, lots of cool stories on you we come up with our usernames. Mine is pretty easy, I was going to use my initials and the year of my truck, but decided against that since my initials are the same letter...

Anyway, I went to school at Texas A&M University, the Aggies. By definition an aggie is a farmer, my grandfather who gave me my '65 C10 was a farmer most of his life. My class year for graduation from A&M is 1991, so aggie91 is my username here and a couple of other sites I frequent.

Dang for some reason I figure you were an OU guy.

Mine is easy. I like them all, big and small and, Bill is my first name.

Although there is really no such thing as a "C-90", lol.

But what it indicates is that I like Conventional Cab trucks.

What I want to know is, HOW DO I CHANGE MY USER NAME? Odds are that's not possible. Don't much care for the upper case handle, it sticks out like a sore thumb. That and the "short bed" business. Quite honestly, I didn't even know what a "SWB" was until after I joined.
