| I just love all the interesting names I see on this board, wondering where you all came up with them!
Mine is because I am one of the few chick muskie-people's, and used to love to throw an old eddie bait that was my grandfather's. Get it? BettieBait, like Eddie Bait, but I'm a chick? Get it now? |

| My name is Kyle
friends call me Kly; started by a friend trying to spell my name and I started laughing histerically when he started writing Kly. It kept going from there.
Kly 
Tommy,ahhheeeemmm I mean Mcgyver just make sure you put your bling as your little gif that is under your name(avatar?). TommyV is always prepared when a tool is needed, i.e. duct tape, pliers, knife, lighter for jonesi. Best part is they are all attached in some way to his belt. |

| First off, Mr. Sponge you brought a tear to my eye from laughing so hard (LOL.)
Mine is from my boat. When I bought my new LUND, after years & years of drooling at the thought of just owning one, I finally took the plunge a few years ago. I thought (and still do) that it is the most excellent (XL abrv.) boat (LUND) that I will ever own.
On the other hand, after making my purchase, my screen name could just as easily have been BROKENOW!

It has to do with you driving your boat trailer into a gas station, or the fact that Slammer would not fit in the name portion of a Video game so you shortened it to Slamr.

| I spent a part of my youth in extreme rural WVA. Did lots of goofing around in the woods, learned a lot. Moved to the St. Louis burbs and on Ozark camping trips my buds were impressed with what I knew about woods and rivers. They named me Ranger, that was about 25 years ago. |

| Papa Joe was first used at Alpine Valley WI at a Grateful Dead show in around 1986. I had been dealing with arthritis in my spine (still do) and by then I'd gotten kind of stiff and gimpy, and my friends started calling me Papa because I looked like an old codger, dancing much more stiffly than usual.
A while later it was my first nickname on the old BBS bulletin boards, and eventually my on-line handle for just about everything.
I usually tell people who ask that they call me Papa Joe out of respect.
Most of you know that's not entirely true.
Later,
papa Joe |

Location: Lafayette, IN | While motoring over to a local farm pond when I was about 8 or 9 my uncle Dave (who is largely responsible for my love of fishing) started making up songs with my first and middle names just to make me laugh. "Stephen Dale" became "Stephen Dawg Dale" during this improv session. Stephen Dawg has been my nickname ever since. Brings back lots of great childhood memories... |

| I've been Beaver since I was 3-years old.
I used to stare out of the windows....usually because I was grounded for beating up my 2 brothers who would be outside playing.....and I would chew on the window sills, much like a caged animal clawing at his cage. Got called Beaver back then and it stuck. There are people that I went to high-school with who still don't know my real name.
Sincerely,
James Allen Francis Slivinski |

Location: Wauwatosa, WI | I used to work with some visiting Japanese surgeons and I took them out for diner. They liked to drink, so I took them out to one of the Milwaukee bars. By the end of the night ,they started calling me parman. I didn't think to much of it till one day they said " when is parman going to take us out again". I asked what the ##LL does parman mean. They replied "in our country it means someone who likes to go out and party". It kind of stuck the two years they were here, now I use it as an upbeat kind of attitude when I fish. the 99 is from my favorite hockey player(the great one).

Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Started out ~ 12 years old when I cauight my first northern pike (fish with teeth). ~35 years later a friend asked me to go on a muskie trip. I've been hooked ever since I saw my first "supertanker". The board name just seemed logical given I'm usually fishing for one or the other. The last part is probably obvious to those who have fished with me. It's also what I named my Skeeter.

Location: God's Country......USA..... Western Wisconsin | Simply put, it is where my favorite fish stands in the world of freshwater fishing. I have been a little disappointed in that the Wisconsin vanity license plate of the same name has allready been taken. I did however see the vehicle with this plate while on a Muskie trip to Minocqua last year. A little wierd to see my board name on someone elses tow vehicle. It has also been my e mail "nick" since the dawn of my entering of the cyber world. |

I was still in the Air Force then and all the kids just call me "Doc" (I'm a dentist)....so it became DocEsox. A name Slamr takes in vain when he can.

I think the comment made was "All the Griswold's and one Lone Stone." Seemed fitting when I discovered the internet and muskie boards. |

Buddy comes from an old neighbor I used to have that never seemed to have any beer, never owned any tools, and never had much for fishing tackle. Whenever he needed to borrow something he'd call over "hey Buddy, can I borrow your _____?
so my wife started calling me Buddy when she wanted something.

Location: St Cloud, MN and Madison, WI | Would drive up to Sheboygan a couple of times a year to do some salmon fishing. We would camp out and wake up real early and we would stop at this bakery called Fredericks. Well these doughnuts would be huge and I would eat two some times three. So my oldman started to call me Doe. Later on my buddies in highschool changed the meaning. We were the partiers in high school so Doe turned into an acronym which means drunk often and everywhere. Also its what everyone calls me. 73 was my football number in highschool. |

Rather than rack my brain and think of another, or worse yet, use the one my buddies call me. I figured I would add a 1 to the end. That is how I rank with most IL drivers on my way to work. (I think that's what they are telling me when they put one finger up)

- Mother -
Because all I do is take care of every thing for all my fishin' and Huntin' buddies.
Set the alarm - make coffee - wake everybody up - prep breakfast - make lunch/pack lunch - hustle tackle/bait/gear
Ice down the beer - make dinner - clean up - clean fish(wallies) - catch more fish than them (MUSKIES) at any
spot !!!
Fix broken stuff ie... motors/TM/wiring/vehicles, whatever.
Piss me off I'll come after you with a spatula / If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all / I don't care
what Billy said, would you jump off a bridge if he told you / Go and sit in the corner and think about you just said

I also received a few funny but painful sounding stories some from well known posters if we should happen to meet ask me about a couple of them but I will NOT give out any names ( Don't worry your secrets are safe with me )
Any way my Name is John the "M" is the first letter of my middle name and the "D" is the first letter of my last name thus JohnMD
