NoI see your handle and think it would be pronounced something like.... "Purso"
home town & a grad. on the old board i was 70nitI've grown quite accustomed to seeing a number of the handles on this board over the past 15 + years, even though I didn't post much until recently. In seeing some of the regulars on here over the years, I've always created an image in my head of what people actually look like.
It got me thinking... What's the story behind your handle?
Mine's pretty simple. I was a diehard 15 year old kid that was completely jacked to start the 2001 season with a rare night game against the #2 ranked Miami Hurricanes, scoring a late b-day present from my dad to attend on the 40 yard line. Will never forget Adam running out of that tunnel.
Also, I like that you can see when people joined.
The August 17th, 2001 next to my handle is somewhat creepy for me... 2 reasons:
Here's to the next 15 years folks!
- I can't help but think of the horrible tragedy that would take place less than a month after creating this account. It was a completely different world prior to 9/11, which feels like so long ago... but I can actually say reading this forum was a part of that world! There's not many other examples of that in my life.
- This board has been part of my life for HALF of it!.. I just turned 30 in June.
This thread allows me to come out of the closet and make a confession. I am a Rutgers grad, class of 72***. 2010 I was at a meeting of Rutgers Fans Anonymous and spoke of how I despised Penn State. A fellow RFA member suggested I go undercover and become a member of this board. The idea was to become a regular and then reveal my identity, proving how gullible and stupid Penn State fans are. My deception has continued for 6 years and no one has called me out, so I have decided to come clean. I would have done so earlier but came to like the people on this board and, in the process, realized that Penn State is a special place, worthy of the admiration and respect of all Scarlet Knight fans. I shall go back now and preach this message to all Rutgers fans who will listen. As to my handle, fairgambit, I have told the story before, and would repeat it, but I have to run. It's Last Call at the bar.
***NO. I AM NOT SERIOUS.
Keith Richards....is that you?When I signed up, I thought I was just creating an account and would get to choose my screen name later, so its really just my name. I'm not very clever. Or bright.
Not that there's anything wrong with th... what? Oh, farrier. Nevermind.Hotshoe, well, I'm a farrier and a blacksmith as well.
AKA Louisiana Lightning. We called him "CY" for short.Yankee fan - favorite player Ron Guidry #49
And here I thought it was Cajun for Oblivious...When I came to this board back in the old days, my son was ~ 8 years old. I took him to a laser tag game where you choose a name and they compile your hits and kills. I was busy so wan't paying attention. Afterward he gave me his score card and his name was "Obliviax" which I thought was funny. I'd never heard of it. Later that week, I signed up for the McAndrew board. I don't know what it is. I know there was an 80's big hair band named Obliviax. I understand it is also a dungeons and dragons character, but I think that came about later.
I thought there was also a picture of a hot dog and a hallway.....?What made the thread was a picture of "Austin" lost in a cavern in a kayak. His expression was perfect. I have never been able to find that picture.

Dude, that was funny.And here I thought it was Cajun for Oblivious...
Originally went by AustiNit, then changed it after an unfortunate board-confession back in '03
Thanks, I guess I've seen too many Drew Brees/Saints games on TV over the years with the "Who Dat" and "Geaux Saints" signs...Dude, that was funny.
