What does yourTT name mean?

“ok, ill start. its really not a trail-name. if i needed a legitimate trailname, it would be either stormbringer, or the backpack bomber. but those are different stories. 2scoops is my nickname from my last job. i was working in a factory that manufactures cooling fans for large engines. our customers included john deere, navistar, ingersoll-rand, etc. anyway, different size fans require different size rivets when put together. and you get the rivets out of a bucket with a scoop. so one day in my haste, i put a scoop of rivets in the riveter, then i put a scoop of DIFFERENT, wrong-sized rivets in. well, my supervisor thought that was the funniest thing, and started calling me "2scoops", and the name stuck. kinda boring, i know, but i had to tell if i was gonna ask.”

“My friends and coworkers call me "Stick" or "Stickman" because I'm tall and skinny. I added "Walking" when I logged on here as a poor attempt at a play on "Dead Man Walking" because I figured Stickman by itself was too similar to Stikmon and would sound like I was trolling him.”

“wise move. being a troll here is THE cardinal sin”

“I tend to use my real name on the trail, if I use a name at all. Online Pathman has a double meaning. I love to be on the Path and I am a Pathologist.”

“mine has something to do with a tree and a dog.”

“go on....”

“I would think it was obvious :}”

“Well the Dave is pretty obvious, it's my first name.. The Big and the Wave stem from may many yeas spent whitewater kayaking. My buddies hung that one on me as I have a penchant for surfing very large waves. One could usually find me hanging out ot either Hermosa Beach rapid on the lower south fork of the Payette river in Idaho or Lunchcounter rapid on the snake in Wyoming. I have also been known to make a special trip to Grand Junction Colorado just to surf one wave that only appears in the spring snowmelt season when river flows exceed 60,000 cfs. Trough to crest heigh sometimes exceeds 12'.

Anyway.. I like big waves..”

“My name is Buddha Bear because I wasn't picking up any hotties with the moniker "hiking bear", and, because Tilt suggested that my thoughts and ideas adheared to Buddhism.”

“Gee, I don't know...”

“I've nearly been hit by falling trees 5 times now, so I fugure they're out to get me. Actually, my husband HPM gave me the name.”

“Ri...........ght”

“One of my favorite cartoons from when I was a little kid was "Tom Terrific"('57-'59 Terrytoons[?]).
Along with Manfred the Wonderdog, Tom would have the most marvelous and imaginative adventures.

When I lived in D.C.(DOB '52) my brother('50) and I would wander the Brookland area of the city in search of adventure and loose change.

The wooded areas where the wilderness to us.

We would venture across the RR tracks to the Washington Brick Yard and up the dirt cliff to Fort Toten, an old Civil War defensive fort.

If we found ten cents we could go to the People's Drug Store soda fountain and get two nickel cherry cokes.

Mark Thomas is my real name.”

“Geez Tom, you sound like my dad.”

“Sunshine is my real name. My mother is a hippy and my father is a married politician. I'm a LOVE child.

;o)”

“I almost froze my toes off on my first winter backpacking trip - blue toes really do twinkle when encased in a layer of ice... :)”

“I still say that sounds more like "Popsicle Toes" than "Twinkle Toes" but WTFDIK?”

“And "Tilt" is just a license plate.”

“sunshine, that is very sweet!

Love is a beatiful thing, baby!”

“So, New Yorkers. I have 24 hours near La Guardia. Any suggestions?”

“dang. Wrong Path.”

“ok bb, thats very nice. now, the real story please : )”

“I'm from Oklahoma and I hike. Hence "hikinokie".”

“While on my first hike this year with Crazy Mike, my knees decided not to work halfway through our first day in the Hoosier National Forest. Reaching the safety of our campsite and having the knowledge that we have covered more than half of the total distance, I relaxed for the evening around the fire. Mike came up with the name a bit later into the evening. Little did I know, but I almost did not make it out of the woods the next day. Four doctor visits later and handfuls of Day Pro, I can hike much better without the pain. Trekking poles and eliminating 20 pounds from your pack helps too!”

“I live in & predominately hike the Catskills. My first email address would only allow me 10 letters so it was shortened to catskhiker.”

“Hold out your arms and I'll show you.”

“I'm 6'6" and mu last name is Cooper.”

“My wife and I like to hike mountains, and it is the name I use on WEBSHOTS...mountainmaster1, mountainmaster2, mountainmaster2002, and mountainmaster2003. I usually use parrotpaul on most bulletin boards, but that's a whole different story.”

“Don't we already have a thread on this topic? Oh yeah, we do. It's this one. Ahhhhhhhhh, isn't that a nice walk down memory lane? BTW, on that thread, Splash=LyndyS and sklukaz=skullcap. I have no idea who the rest of those yahoos are ; )


Anywho skullcap is a wildflower and can be found pretty commonly in my usual hiking range. The nickname "skully" was decided upon because I'm tough. That's usually what people call me. Occasionally I even answer to it!”

“Skully, I tried to link on my above post. Not sure how I messed that one up...

Second try...
What my name means”

“Skeetah bait= Mosquitos love to chew on me.

Uphill Klimber= One who klimbs a mountain faster than he descends it.

monkeyboy= one who klimbs on every boulder and tree.”

“i heard you were just "tarabull" in bed ~rimshot~ i figured that couldnt be right. maybe they meant you were so wild youd tear a bull.....

ahhh nevermind. you can just slap me now.
















no, really. slap me. please?”

“i figured this thread would get a lot of responses. some ppl like to talk about politics and world events, some like to talk about cars, or sports, or heck even backpacking (at this place? geddout!), but EVERYBODY likes to talk about themselves”

“Oh... 2scoops... next time i see you, you are in so much trouble. lol”

“"next time i see you, you are in so much trouble"

hopefully sooner than later, wild woman.....: )”

“That Zomby Woof... What a joker, eh?

And whatever became of Stinky Wizzleteats?



Oh yeah... "Tilt" is short for "tilt, Tilt... BLAM"”

“stinky weaselteats! love the ren and stimpy, man! steempy, you eediot!

tilt, i never woulda pegged you for a gun nut.....dont let the bushies know, they might try to convert you”

“Mine isn't really a trail name either. But it's meaning should be obvious.”

“gosh, i dunno, hm, im stumped”

“I know, I wasn't very creative.”

“Refer to Tolkein, please.”

“Uh...My names Steve and I work and play in the mountains.”

“Cool link, tarabull. it was neat going back in time.

ah, scoopie .. I'd run real fast iffin' I were you.......”

“sunshine is your REAL name???

let's see...treebait, aka Joy, aka sassafrass, right?

Hikin Mike= Crazy Mike??

My real name is Penelope”

“New to bping and of the female persuasion. Pretty straight forward.”

“biz, My name is Mary Beth. I was in one of those moods when I responded. If my mother ever saw that, she'd tan my hide. After 48 years of being married to the same man and raising seven children of her own, that prude of a Catholic would be horribly offended. :o)

My Mom would greet me in the morning with, "Goodmorning, Sunshine!" I thought it sounded kinda outdoorsy. That's why I chose Sunshine.

See, the other story was much more colorful! ;o)”

“Sunshine is an appropriate name for Mary Beth.”

“what does my name mean?

YOU FIGURE IT OUT”

“Even though I do own a few shotguns, the "tilt, Tilt... BLAM" is from leaning back too far in my chair at the dinner table.

I saw the first new Ren & Stimpy, but I missed the second one on Thursday... How was it?


"Penelope Pitstop"?”
