What does your profile picture show or represent? Why did you choose your screen name?
I recently asked @chilipepper about his new picture in a PM and the response was very interesting and educational.
Iāll start. My current profile image is with me wearing my āundead zombieā contact lenses. I especially love wearing these in publicā¦ the way small children grab onto their mommies is especially satisfying. Sometimes I wear both, sometimes just one.
This is me with my collection of 10 different colors. Top left is my real eye color. I started wearing contacts in my past āoccupationāā¦ now I just like to change things up. Be different. Tattoos are forever, these come off easily.
My picture is Green Bay Packers Darnell Savage Jr. getting an interception against the Bears. I grew up 25 miles from Green Bay, and Da Bears are rival #1. Using Savage Jr is also a play on my screen name. And my screen name derives from the two motorcycles Iāve owned. My first motorcycle was a Suzuki Savage 650, and my current motorcycle is a Kawasaki Ninja 636
My profile pic is from a artist I really like (who no longer posts up drawings), Iām a huge fan of anime so I used one of my favorite drawings as a pic.
My user name, is well catfood. I like cats and they like to eat cat food. I figure if they get hungry enough, they will eat me in my sleep. Hence catfood.
My new profile picture is a play on the design on my new cards all of which is in great thanks to @TexasEskimo for slaving threw christmas eve and Christmas day doing the design work and the computer mumbo jumbo. Even though the orignal design had schofield revolvers and i had to explain the difference between a schofield and the 1851 navy which we went with. The 1851 colt navy in my opinion is one of the biggest firearms in history that changed history. And my screen name is cause im so damn handy. Have worked with my hands my entire life my great grandpa fastened a small toolbox with tools to the steps on back of tricycle when i was toddler. And ive been taking stuff apart every since. And sometimes i get it put back together.
I love this Russian artist Lozhkin, he is amazing in his ability to spot small things and to display them in a unique manner. So one of the guys from his work āItās not the time for smilesā works very well for me:
He has depressing, cheerful and outright funny works.
They all are all funny actually, sort of.
Slogans on the pics are a huge part of it though. The one you posted is 'Oil, our mother (more like our precious, or our darling - hard to translate it right)
Festus Haggan. Appeared on Gunsmoke from 1962 until 1975. I met him (Ken Curtis) Along with James Arnes (Marshal Dillon), Melborn Stone (Doc) and Amanda Blake (Kitty) in 1965 at the local rodeo via my Granddad, he had serious connections.
My picture is my favorite rifle. A 6.5 creedmoor I built on a Mauser 98 action. Itās the first one I really did all the action and barrel work on. Made a bunch of my own action blueprinting tools for it too.
My name, well, im going on 20 years of machining, itās what I doā¦ā¦
Mine is actually kinda lame. Way back in the day-in high school I had this old felt āhillbillyā hat that I purchased in Maggie Valley NC. I didnāt wear it all that much but I kept it on the back shelf of my '68 Mustang. One warm spring day during our senior year, I took a couple friends with me to ditch school to the cliffs at Lake Allatoona and one picked it up and put it on. He promptly picked up on my last name (Smith) and dubbed me Snuffy and it somehow stuck.
Later on, my father started telling people his last name was āSmiff-spelled with two āFā sā.
The profile pic is of the original cartoon character and newspaper comic strip Snuffy Smith.
In honor of Snuffyās youngest son Tater, I have now dubbed our 3-year-od grandson āTaterheadāā¦
The name is from my webpage and has itās own lengthy backstory that is explained there. I grew up watching Loony Tunes and the forum focus is firearms so Yosemite Sam was a natural choice.
My screen name is the same screen name Iāve used on most forums since the internet was invented. Totally unimaginative, but itās easy to remember. It just follows the old driverās license convention from my stateā¦part of last name, first and middle initial, then numbers. I only used the letters though.
My pic is my favorite WiseGuy stooge Curly. I am habitually happy and positive and love comedy in all formsā¦
My handle was picked when i was a kid hanging out at my Grampas house chatting on the home base CB with my dad while he was plowing snow. Gramps said i needed a callsign and i could never think of anything interesting or creative enough. Gramps used to say i was stircrazy cuz i dont like to stay still, so thats where it started. In my teen years i discovered and couldnt get enough of Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder so in the early days of the internet i started snagging StirCrayzy on every email and forum i ever got involved in, as a tribute and reminder that smiling and laughter is my motivation. Not that im the comedian, but that im going to find something fun and positive wherever i can.
