bizarre user names amongst us............

[Hoodoo]

Born on the Bayou

Now, when I was just a little boy,
Standing to my Daddy's knee,
My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you
Do what he done to me."

'Cause he'll get you,
'Cause he'll get you now, now.
And I can remember the fourth of July,
Running through the backwood, bare.

And I can still hear my old hound dog barking,
Chasing down a hoodoo there.
Chasing down a hoodoo there.

CHORUS:
Born On The Bayou;
Born On The Bayou;
Born On The Bayou.

Wish I was back on the Bayou.
Rolling with some Cajun Queen.
Wishing I were a fast freight train,
Just a choogling on down to New Orleans.

CHORUS

Do it, do it, do it, do it.
Oh, Lord.
Oh get back boy.

I can remember the fourth of July,
Running through the backwood bare.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barking,
Chasing down a hoodoo there.
Chasing down a hoodoo there.

CHORUS

All right! Do, do, do, do.
Mmmmmmm, oh.

[tomtom]

[zen]

Simple really - I'm a Zen Buddhist

I guess the connection with Bushcraft is that the Buddha used to encourage his trainees to seek out wild and isolated places in which to meditate. He himself spent most of his 80 year life living outside, eating only what he could forage for and what was donated to him.

To this day one of the main schools of Buddhism is the "Thai Forest Tradition" and even now these monks often spend long periods on their own in the jungle. :ekt:

 

[Emdiesse]

Emdiesse = MDS = My initials

Simple

 

[Celtic Dragon]

Mine springs from being 1/2 welsh and that I love Dragons, esspecially the scifi and fantasy pics of them, hence Celtic Dragon.

 

[Pict]

I had the nic-mane "Pict" thrust upon me shortly after I started my pastoral internship (yes, I'm a member of the clergy, and of Scottish ancestry). The church staff had never quite encountered a pastoral intern with my particular set of intrests and life skills, ie. I can field strip an AK-47 blindfolded. Trust me, I don't try to project a tough guy persona but I'm too carnivore to make a good sheep.

The staff had been reading a series of books by Steven Lawhead about the days of yore. Apparently they had been discussing me and the books at the same time. The head pastor looked at me and suddenly blurted out in staff meeting, "I know wehat you are, Mac! I've got you figured out! YOU'RE A PICT!" The name stuck and now I use it as my handle on the internet. Mac

 

[Motorbike Man]

Ummm......like a few others here I ride motorbikes and I'm a bloke and when it came to finding a username, I was getting a bit bored with the one I used to use (Danegar, from my larp and re-enactment days) so decided to come up with a new one but couldn't think very well at the time (alcohol :roll: ) so Motorbike Man it became.

Pipe up Virulent Salamander - am dying to know !!

 

[grahoom]

mine name is Graham and i use grahoom as well, when i register to place normally no-one has used grahoom.

 

[Wayland]

Wayland, (Weland, Welund, Völund) Was the legendary smith of Germanic myth. In one tradition he is the son of a giant called Wade.

Since my surname is Waidson, I spend my time recreating the lives of our Viking and Saxon ancestors and do a little smithying work from time to time, it seemed rather appropriate.

These days there are probably more people that know me as Wayland than by my real name.

Btw. The Avatar I use is also a character from Norse mythology but it's wise not to mention his name too loudly.

 

[Jjv110]

Mine is my initials followed by the model of my Land Rover.

 

[snag68]

My Surname is Turner, as a kid I was turnip.. I hail from Northumberland and a snag was a name given to a turnip, so there you go.
