OT: Why Did You Choose Your KF.c Handle?

[An-Cap Frog]

Because taxation is theft, changed from my previous moniker which was the name of a libertarian-conservative writer and political commentator. I'm still gunning to get into the top 10 of messages.

 

[Paint It Purple]

The avatar is homage to my old TCU mentor that called me a "pissant".

Paint is from my summer job days in the TCU maintenance department. The old supervisor would say, "ah hell, paint it purple".

That's sort of a coincidence I suppose. I'm trying NOT to get into that top 10.

When I joined 20 years ago the Jack Ass skit Party Boy was the TV.

 

[TxFrog1999]

Joined back in the FFF days during my sophomore or junior year under a different handle (I forget which one) and in the move to the new forum software I decided to create a new username.

So, this is my sock puppet account.

My initials and the year I graduated. Avatar is the only photo I could get to upload. No connection whatsoever. I wasn't very internet savvy back then. Still not.

I used to get online for college football news on a site called "Coaches Hotseat" or something like that. Was talking with Rufe Brewton (the member, not the coach) and he told me about KFC. He said KFC always posted lots of TCU specific news articles. I lurked for a few days and there were indeed many more frog articles in one place than I had ever seen (thanks Top). I then asked Rufe about the different posts and posters. He replied "oh that's just a bunch of ass holes who are always fighting with each other". A timeless description. I stayed for the news articles and eventually became one of the AH posters.

Red door with the quote "where incredible friendships begin" bartended for a couple of years at the stables.

We’re you bartending when the Ghost Riders came looking for some incredible friendships?

 

[Bruce Berry]

I chose Bruce Berry after Neil Young's Roadie who was immortalized in the song "Tonight's The Night"

The song changed my life in 1975.

Mine was the name of the TCU swim coach in ‘69/‘70 when we swam in that cesspool next to Clark Hall (20 yard pool, four lanes, with a pipe exiting the pool in the middle of lane2). His name was John “Rufe” Brewton. Since he never ever spelled my name correctly in the one year that I swam for him, I have misspelled his name in his dubious honor.

I’ve often wondered about this one

When I jumped on here back in the Don Dowell golfsw days TCU was running their “your hometown team” ad campaign. I’m a local kid who grew up going to games and other stuff on campus. So that’s what I picked. Intentionally made them lower case just because I was feeling contrarian or something.
rather boring

See this goes much deeper and is more interesting than a cursory look reveals. Nice back story

We may need more info….

Liked the initials, had to make it TCU related, didn't realize they would be an expletive on the forum. Oh well.

Lol I never considered the initials. Well done. I hope we did not get you banned

Nickname after bursting through a door in a dorm room. Alcohol aided feats of human strength.

That’s funny.

 

[Prince of Purpoole II]

As a Naval intelligence officer, my work was mostly on the analytical side. When I retired, I wanted to use more of my creative side. A friend got me hooked into quilting, which is creative, yet involves math and figuring out patterns and so on. The best of both worlds. My avatar is an appliqued horned frog from a wall hanging I made for my brother. It is crawling outside the quilt block!
Here is the whole picture:

That’s talent!

 

[Peacefrog]

Because I was a student then a police officer at TCU.

19 has a dual meaning, both as my badge number and my big brother's number from the band fraternity which then became mine. (This is completely outing myself to those that know, but who cares...)

Avatar is obviously the warfrog statue poised to attack, because as we all know they pose like panthers before leaping onto unsuspecting ants and tongue-bathing them to death.

My avatar is a selfie.

"wexahu" was a random temporary password that was sent to me years ago. For some odd reason it became my message board handle.
