How did you come up with your USMB handle?

[okfine]

I bought mine from FlatCan...

How much?

 

[Esdraelon]

I believe we are truly witnessing the time of the end that is referred to in the Bible. The plain of "Esdraelon" is the Greek rendering of the identity of the "plain of Jezreel" or the valley of Armageddon.

 

[White 6]

he's run off with it.

Haven't seen him in over a month.

 

[Moonglow]

How much?

A ten gallon kippah for when he goes out West to hang with the other cowboys.

 

[Moonglow]

Haven't seen him in over a month.

Yeah, something about Trump needing him to pull up his Depends.

 

[BackAgain]

How much?

One red cent. And it was way overpriced.

 

[mak2]

I was a college professor way back in the day when we first started using the internet a lot. I attempted to set up my account so I could grade papers and run my class on line. My first user name was mak, I think it worked but I will never know, then I tried mak1, and again I got some message so I tried mak2, then I paid attention to the messages and continued to sign in. So my sign on is from 2 possibly failed attempts.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Mine came to me in a dream. It was more than a dream, really, as it was an epiphany guided by cosmic forces beyond my control and outside my mortal frame of reference. I recognized it right away as my one true name, though, my guiding force and my inner truth as I navigate the complex variabilities of websites such as this containing so many fine, wonderful individuals as well as countless shitheads.

 

[okfine]

Im an atheist who used to love smashing Christians, until i realized how much worse muslims were after 9/11, then i stopped smashing Christians for the most part. My full screen name once was GodboyJesusfreak, but i shortened it to Godboy in 2008.

I was also in the Navy and an ejection seat mechanic for F/A-18's in VFA-125, Lemoore, Ca.

Lemoore. Check out this fighter pilot's wife. She's pretty hot...

DOS or Windows?

 

[mak2]

DOS or Windows?

I think it might have been DOS, was that the one with the cursor that flashed under the next thing you were suppose to type?

Yeah. Bak when you had to do the work of surfing, we used to pay a dollar an hour in the mid-1980's while we used our mesh satellite to watch porn.

 

[JoeB131]

Mine is simple.
My name is Joseph.
My family name begins with B.
131 was my regimental designation when I was in the Army.

And still in Illinois, I see. DUCIT AMOR PATRIAE

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

A twist on a nickname I was given in the 90's at the first tech company I worked for. Jack of all trades.

 

[Missourian]

"God-Emperor-of-the-Universe-and-all-Dimensions-Known-and-Unknown" was already taken.

 

[Baron Von Murderpaws]

Mine just comes to me. Just pops into my head.

Usually I look for one and look for one, and use those stupid "generators" online to try and find a new one........but they never work.

So, I just let my mind roam, as it does.........and a name will just pop into my head.

I've seen a lot of interesting handles on here, and some make me wonder a bit how the people who use them came up with deciding to call themselves that particular thing on here.

Me? Been calling myself ABikerSailor across the 'net for many years because it pretty much reflects the two things that have been a major part of my life. In my earlier years, I rode motorcycles, then started racing bicycles, and finally settled back on motorbikes again. Been on 2 wheels for the bigger part of my life, both motorized and pedal power. Still have my Lemond Zurich (a 21 lb steel frame racing bike), and probably had the most fun for the 10 years that I owned an HD Sportser (thing was capable of 130 mph). Been to Sturgis 3 times, and many other biker rallies. I think my favorite though was the ROT Rally in Texas.

Made a career out of serving in the U.S. Navy. Wasn't sure I would reenlist, but everyone told me to take shore duty after my first tour of being at sea, because that's where it's more like a 9-5 job. Did that, and was going to get out after shore duty, but a Senior Chief came up to me a couple of months before my EAOS, and said he'd help me get into a squadron if I reenlisted. I've always been highly interested in fighter aircraft, and when I was told I could be a part of an FA-18 squadron (VFA-131 Wildcats), I decided another sea tour wouldn't be that bad since I would be able to get up close and personal with FA-18's. After that tour, I decided that it would be stupid to get out (had less than 9 years to retirement) and decided to go ahead and become a lifer. Subsequent tours were excellent, and I got to do things most can only dream about.

So. Because I was a biker/cyclist for most of my life, and because I was a career Navy man, that is why I call myself ABikerSailor.

What about the rest of y'all?

I post primarily about the 2nd Amendment issues....and I kept everything lower case to make it easier for others to type my name out...............

My photo is of the best Captain in Star Trek....Captain James T. Kirk.....the guy who knew how to deal with bad guys and good guys on the show..........

The little book, if you can find it...".The Politics of Star Trek, by Andrew Price," covers some of the episodes of the Star Trek series and why they are conservative in nature.....

I guess the book is made up of articles he wrote for Breitbart about Star Trek......

We see this moral in the argument between Kirk and McCoy over what to do about the Klingon Empire’s interference. McCoy, who is the show’s emotional factor and who often took on the role of advocating the liberal bleeding-heart position, was aghast that Kirk would even think about arming the Hill People. Presumably, he would have Kirk abandon the Hill People to the mercy of the villagers so they could live “in peace” as slaves under the villagers and by proxy the Klingon Empire. In this, McCoy is echoing the peace movement which rioted at the 1968 Democratic convention a few months after this episode was first shown (ironically, it was repeated 3 days before the convention began).

Kirk rejects this, noting that the only solution to aggression is to stand up to the aggressor. And if they fight through a proxy by arming that proxy, then you must provide your allies with identical weapons to maintain the balance of power. Here’s the script:

MCCOY: Do I have to say it? It’s not bad enough there’s one serpent in Eden teaching one side about gun powder. You want to make sure they all know about it!
KIRK: Exactly. Each side receives the same knowledge and the same type of firearm.
MCCOY: Have you gone out of your mind? Yes, maybe you have. Tyree’s wife, she said there was something in that root. She said now you can refuse her nothing.
KIRK: Superstition.
MCCOY: Is it a coincidence this is exactly what she wants?
KIRK: Is it? She wants superior weapons. That’s the one thing neither side can have. Bones. Bones, the normal development of this planet was the status quo between the hill people and the villagers. The Klingons changed that with the flintlocks. If this planet is to develop the way it should, we must equalize both sides again.
MCCOY: Jim, that means you’re condemning this whole planet to a war that may never end. It could go on for year after year, massacre after massacre.
KIRK: All right, Doctor! All right. Say I’m wrong. Say I’m drugged. Say the woman drugged me. What is your sober, sensible solution to all this?
MCCOY: I don’t have a solution. But furnishing them firearms is certainly not the answer.
KIRK: Bones, do you remember the twentieth century brush wars on the Asian continent? Two giant powers involved, much like the Klingons and ourselves. Neither side felt they could pull out.
MCCOY: Yes, I remember. It went on bloody year after bloody year.
KIRK: What would you have suggested, that one side arm its friends with an overpowering weapon? Mankind would never have lived to travel space if they had. No. The only solution is what happened back then. Balance of power.
MCCOY: And if the Klingons give their side even more?
KIRK: Then we arm our side with exactly that much more. A balance of power. The trickiest, most difficult, dirtiest game of them all, but the only one that preserves both sides.

This is solid conservatism. Liberalism believes aggression is the result of fear, by the aggressor, that others intend to do them harm. Thus, the aggressor turns to aggression as a means of self-defense. This was why liberalism advocated disarmament in the face of Soviet aggression, to show the Russians we meant them no harm. Conservatism knows better. Conservatives understand that aggression is the result of desire: a desire to take something which does not rightly belong to the aggressor, combined with the power to take it. Conservatives also understand that we cannot eliminate desire as a human trait. Thus, the only way to prevent aggression is by making it impossible for the would-be aggressor to achieve their goals through aggression, i.e. to stand up to them.

Would it surprise you to know 'Star Trek' did a pro-Vietnam War episode? Prepare to be amazed as we continue our journey through the conservative world |

I honestly just thought they were names you had come up with to name your dog or cat, both the one you have now and Toffeenut Baconsmuggler.

Both of which I think are truly wonderful names for a dog or cat. My old dog would have smuggled bacon for a living if she'd been able to resist eating it for more than .3 seconds.
