What's in a name? What's in YOUR name?

[pikabo-icu]

Ok so there's a LOT of doom & gloom, the sky is falling, posts about MP and the like so I figured I would try something a little light hearted..

Tick-Tock let's see how long this post will last before poofing..

Perhaps the MODS will gimme a lil slack since we're still waiting on that "Break Room" board..

I've often wondered about other members handles and how they choose them.

Some are petty obvious, some quite clever but many are still a mystery to me.. 

Is anybody willing to share how they chose their posting ID?

I'll go first; Mine is a play on peek-a-boo I see you, I know the spelling is atrocious. LOL

I've used this handle on & off for over a decade.. 

Ok Now you....

When I came aboard eBay in 1998, Mark McGwire was playing first base for the Cardinals and was known as Big Mac.  On our company softball team, we had several Stooges fans, including me.  On my jersey was the name Moe.  We also had a Curly, a Larry, and a Shemp.  I played first base and was called Big Moe.  Tried to use bigmoe as my eBay ID, but someone had just taken that name, a couple months prior.  So I became biggymoe.  So this is one that I am sure no one would have figured out.

I think Shemp was a sort of unsung hero - he was so funny in his deadpan way.

Mine is also pretty obvious. When I started it seemed the obvious choice. I was selling all the things I found. Still do. LOL

@pikabo-icu  For a while I thought it was a riff on Pikachu and Ikue (who does the voicing) but then spelled it out phonetically.

[biggymoe]

Actually Shemp was my favorite.  Wish he had made more appearances.

I also didn't think he was the 'ugliest man in Hollywood' - I liked his soulful face.

[biggymoe]

No way he was the ugliest man in Hollywood.  Who said that?  I'll give him a kick in the shin and a pie in the face.

Episode on MeTV right now, but alas, no Shemp.

I like your name and with your avatar it gives me an old Hollywood vibe..

There is no doom and gloom

If you sell on this platform (as many others)

Claim your income and pay your taxes, plain and simple 

keep records of mileage, purchases, shipping supplies and ECT to help on taxes BUT those all frieked out and scared because now they will have to claim eBay sales are basically the ones that have avoided taxes in the past

I'm sorry, we can no longer be friends.   😉

NGL, I thought the title was:

"Whats in a meme? What's YOUR meme!"

I think mine is quite obvious too.  Perhaps I should add a spider image.

I was driving to Kailua one night.

There was a huge spider crawling on the outside of my windshield.

I rolled up my windows and used my windshield wipers to "shoo" it away.

It was still there. It was on the INSIDE of my windshield!!!   😉

When i see your username i think of Muriels Wedding. 

I refused to watch that movie because it looked like a "chick flick". 

My  GF made me watch it.  One of the funniest movies i ever saw.
