In the late 80's I had the audio book "the great gatzby" get stuck in the tape player on a Wyoming Elk Trip. 22 hours out 22 hours back and 2-3 hours a day for a week we could only listen to the great gatzby. I know the book well!!! It stuck, but I don't mind. I should start naming my dogs after charecters in the book.
PS I never shot an elk.
 
odd names

mine has nothing to do with me being an ol' fart. most of my life i have been a pretty serious collector, mostly sporting stuff like hunting and fishing, golf too. being old, much of it was kinda musty. there ya have it

cheers
 
I guess using my last name and the first letter of my first and middle name is uneventful.

So you guy's don't have to go back and look........

15 or so years ago my wife and I were out eating at the Red Lobster in Olathe, Kansas with my business partner at the time and his wife. It was crowded as heck on a friday night and they were taking names. In front of me was a group of people in there late twenties. When asked to give his name, the pompus little ass said in a loud tone " Dr Brad Johnson" or something like that so everyone could hear. So when it came to me I loudly stated " Just call me carpenter Tom". That tickled my wife pretty good as she is a nurse and was used to dealing with arrogant doctors. In fact several waiting found it funny too. Doogies wife and companions kinda gave us a dirty look, but hey I made like three of him so what could he do.:) So it has stuck with me every since.

I always assumed you were one of those weird guys who likes catching carp.

My name is pretty self explanatory... Except Jake is not my dog anymore. I don't know if it's possible to change my name to Oxismydog. I assume the 2 would not be necessary at the end of that one.:)

If you ever change, just go with Ox. :thumbsup:

And Tom, I always just assumed you had a dog named Carp at some point. That's another good name for a lab, actually,,, "Carp". :D
 
This is a fun post. Mine is pretty transparent-I had two labs when I joined in 2009-Cody and Logan. Parker and puppy Brady are my pair now. I guess I need to freshen up my avatar. This pic shows little Brady (on the left) with his first swimming bumper retrieve last Sunday at Cherry Creek Reservoir by our house. I sent Parker out first on a long throw then threw a shorter one for Brady. Run, splash, swim, retrieve-no fear, no problems.

Nice looking dogs! Where do you find water warm enough to swim in? think our would be like a glacier run off:D, if you can find any open....
 
Well, several years ago, when I joined a Lab forum, I had two Labs...Deacon and Diesel. I called them the D brothers. I liked the handle enough that I've used it on several dog and hunting forums. Sadly, Deacon passed two years ago and I just have Diesel. I'm planning on getting another pup soon, and in keeping with the tradition, I'll probably name him Dozer.
 
OKIEGunner was a matter of combining an abbreviated Oklahoma slang and my nickname/ Rank from when I was in the Marine Corps, as Chief Warrant Officers are referred to as Gunner. By the way, Great thread!:thumbsup:
 
Awesome thread! I've often wondered how some of these were derived (Deweybagger, Dakotazeb, and carptom); it's neat to hear the stories behind them:thumbsup:

I wish I'd realized how long my screen-name would be with me, I would've put a little more thought into it and attempted to use some foresight!

I'm from Kansas and I grew up hunting behind britts 90% of the time. I've said many times that if I could change my screen name I'd go with Motley Crew; not b/c I like the band (quite frankly cannot stand them), but b/c I enjoy having a kennel with variety of hunting breeds...kinda like trucks and women, I think if a guy gets the chance he should try one of each kind before he dies:D
 
Well I guess I'll explain the name. I was give the sticker below from a friend for my new truck back in 2006 since I tend to talk to my dogs as we hunt saying "Kick them Up' :thumbsup:

Funny thing is that my nickname is actually Fitch which is a combo of my name Rich and fish. My hunting partner gave it to me in my twenties when I was a bartender and I was always messin with the girls which ne called 'Fishin":cool:

BTW...Great Thread!

Kick'em UP!
 
To me, the sporting life is the realm of a gentleman of leisure and consists of fishing, bird hunting, sporting dogs, bad golf, good food, fine spirits and great friends. I have a blog named The Sporting Life which can be found at jimbrowns-sportinglife.blogspot.com/ but need to abbreviate my email address, hence Sportnlyf@aol.com

When Chris Berman used to do the ESPN Sportscenter show he would always lead in to any event that took place at Jack Murphy Stadium with, "Tonight, at the Murph".

I am neither a Chargers or Padres fan but I do share the name with a stadium, or at least the sports writer who the stadium was named after.

I have used AtTheMurph since I first got online in the early 90s.
 
I knew Jack Murphy to some degree and he was a fine writers whose sports columns drifted into hunting from time to time. His book (Abe and Me) was about life with his lab and a very good read if you can find a copy.
 
Well, I guess mine says it all. Started hunting ruffed grouse in Northern Minnesota back in the early 60's. We called them partridge. Have hunted about everything that flies I guess.
