Well y`all know the Michelin man from the tire commercials... I acquired that nick name a while back... seems like him and me have the same physique. It was a laugh back then and the name just stuck.
Well rodeo has been my life sence preteen years but now I am older and can not run as fast as I once did so I have retired but the name lives on. click on the pic .
Well...I was simply looking for a unique name that I did not have to add numbers after it to sign up to fourms and such and so far it has worked perfectly.
Being an ex Titan II ICBM missile crew member stationed under groung in Kansas, we had call signs assigned every day. " Beaver Dam" was one that was assigned to our complex for that day. Thank you asking.
I live beyond the sidewalks and off the grid. Beyondthesidewalksoffthegrid was more characters than I could type in for a handle so it got shortened to beyondthesidewalks. I got the idea from a magazine back in the early 1990s and decided I wanted to live out here. Here I am. Use the full handle wherever I can.
PS. After we lived fully off the grid for 7 years I gave in to my wifes desire to live more like normal people and now we're technically not off the grid anymore. We still have all of our solar panels and batteries. We just use the grid to supplement our power when consumption is greater than production. Beats maintaining a generator although we still have that too for those times when the grid goes down.
Ham Bone definitely fits! If you don't change your handle to Ham Bone methane will build up in your hives and they'll blow up. It happened to mine last year. What a mess...
I live on the Eastside of Seattle (18 miles east in the foothills 1100 ft elevation) in Washington and have bee's. So SastideBuzz. Nothing to complicated or cool. opcorn:
Couldn't think of anything cute that wasn't taken. Couldn't much think of anything cute at all. So, went with the name. First name was also taken, though I've never seen it in a post. And being from Tx, half the family always called me Terri Lynn anyway, kinda had Lynn as a nickname for a while then in the music biz everyone knew me as only Lynn. So, I guess they both kinda worked.
Derek, I definitely think if you're going to change, it should be something exciting like Ham Bone. Or naked bee man. I still crack up when I think of that photo you posted with a line something like 'I'm Derek, nice to meet ya." Maybe you should be Funny Bone.
