How did you come up with your poster name?

picantel · 11-19-05, 12:52 AM

Years and years ago I was gonna take picante as a joke thinking I am so damn hot. I wish. It was taken so I added an L and now thousands of people know me as picantel. The problem is I have to type picanteL because they always think the l is a 1 and asked me why my email bounced back. Now that I think about it I shoulda just made a picante1 and been done with it.

raiders72001 · 11-19-05, 12:58 AM

Do you mind if I ask where you are from. I know that's Spanish for hot. It may even be in Italian which I don't speak.

pags11 · 11-19-05, 01:01 AM

nickname and favorite number...

picantel · 11-19-05, 01:14 AM

ohio. boring old ohio.

raiders72001 · 11-19-05, 01:26 AM

I'm not too far from you. In Chicago here.

picantel · 11-19-05, 01:39 AM

Used to live in Peoria. Been up to chicago many times(and to a few horse tracks too of course). Now I live about 30 minutes from northfield park and been there oh uhh a few hundred times at least. I need a life. Off to bed. Got a couple of possible longshots tomorrow. A quick $20 would not hurt anyone cause if you cannot afford a quick blow on that amount you got problems with gambling. Posted one in my sat horsie thread and will post the other tomorrow.

Well I was a lurker on the forums for awhile, mainly OGD. So I was a "onlooker" per say.

So I came up with that. Added the cool "o's" to look like eyes. So there we have it.

raiders72001 · 11-19-05, 02:06 AM

onlooker- I remember you from day 1 that you signed up.

I think I didnt post for about the first month I signed up too. Then just started posting picks in the sports picks and articles forum at the OGD and I remember getting the TFZ invite from you a few weeks later.

Oh yeah, also posted some important stuff in that forum called....oh what do you call it....HIP?

That was the reason I gave you the TFZ invite........Seriously you were putting up some great gambling info which was the reason for the invite.

figure it out

slacker00 · 11-19-05, 03:28 AM

Slacker00.

This hipster chick at work used to always call me "slacker". I'm not real keen on picking username on these boards, so "slacker" seemed as good as anything else. I added the double zeros because slacker was taken when I first started using that handle. "00" seemed like a good number to slap on the end. I'd like to figure out another handle, because slacker00 makes me feel like a deadbeat. But, I'm too much of a slacker to think of a different handle.

I think its just because he's a bit fat. Obvious really.

Illusion · 11-19-05, 05:12 AM

Picking a cool screen name is a pain in the ass. I got drunk one night and thought Illusion sounded cool.

mad · 11-19-05, 05:32 AM

Because this is how i feel when a last minute pass gets intercepted.

Winston Smith · 11-19-05, 05:51 AM

2nd-favorite literary protagonist.

Yossarian seemed like it would get a lot of "WTFs" so I took this one.

HAPPY BOY · 11-19-05, 06:00 AM

i have a picture of my nephew with the biggest shit eaten grin on his face (I wanted to use it as my avitar but it wouldnt take too many picells or something) anyway I told my brother man thats a happy boy, and I use that picture of my nephew as my fantasy football logo and my SBR name. Ill see if I can copy it so you all can see the pic its F**king histerical!

JoshW · 11-19-05, 09:21 AM

March of 2002 I posted at my first sports betting forum, The RX. Was following the Lakers pretty close that year, and I didn't think I would be stuck with this name three years later, so I just used lakerfan. Only forum I posted in before that time was a home theater forum, but I can't even remember what name I used.

I'd like to know why Quarm, which is slang for homosexual, uses Quarm for his name.

If you're seriously worried about who is homosexual, instead of this kind of whiny, grade-school finger-pointing, it would be a lot sharper to focus directly on guys who openly admit to performing sex on men - like this guy:

One night he told me I had to leave unless............. well you know what comes next and I did.

And of course if you want to be really sharp, you'd keep an eye open for other guys who look like they're angling for that same treatment. They may not come right out and say what they want but just keep a sharp eye out for

Shawn01 · 11-19-05, 04:35 PM

picantel, I also live in Ohio (Northwest, Seneca county), and I thought your name was pronounced "pick and tell".

My username is obviously my first name, followed by two random numbers that I add without thinking because Shawn is always taken in forums.

Stop stalking me!
Or maybe I'm stalking you. Oh well....small world. If you're from Ohio then I'll be officially creeped out.

onlooker · 11-19-05, 09:09 PM

My first guess would be pats is from the NE area.

framboise · 11-19-05, 11:49 PM

Betman · 11-20-05, 10:01 AM

No rocket science here.

I am a man and I like to bet so an obvious nickname would be Betman.

It also rhymes with Batman, the silver screen hero who goes after the bad guys. The only difference is that I go after bookies

Senator7 · 11-26-05, 01:31 AM

My nickname is Senator because everyone thinks I should run for public office someday in Wisconsin. 7 is my favorite number and my sports number throughout high school.
