Any one
Any gun
Anywhere
Any time
...anything less is gun control!
It was a very true statement of fact!

back then I was 72457.1606 anyone know where that one came from? Hint... before GUI'sllwatson wrote:First user name I ever had, from back in the very beginning; when Al Gore first invented the internet. When bulletin boards, DOS commands, and 4 color monitors were all new and exciting.
Yes, I am old. And, as I am old and tired, I have not been able to expend any precious energy thinking up a new and clever name. So, here I am. First initial, middle initial, last name.

I earned the nickname "Hoss" back in college. I was a member of the rodeo team, the rodeo club, and Alpha Gamma Rho. The ladies involved in these groups got together and decided that I was "A big, dumb, loveable oaf like ol' Hoss Cartwright", as they said while presenting me with a plaque at our formal.
I didn't do much at all in forums untill just after my divorce.
Hoss is free! Just popped into my head when asked for a screen name.
I may have come from a moment of bitterness, but while that is gone now, the name remains.
It also may imply - DWM, 33, big guy, loves guns/shooting, looking for woman with same interests.

Most screenames seem to fit into two categories, really interesting names that were carefully thought up, or haphazardly chosen ones when you need a login that ended up sticking. Mine is in the second category.
When I needed to pick a forum name for a website years ago I decided to combine my pride in being from Texas and newfound status as a Firefighter together for a name. Texasfire was taken so I had to come up with something else. The most common report writing system used in the fire service in Texas is a TEXFIRS, short for Texas Fire Incident Reporting System, so quickly modified I became Texfire. Most of my friends online call me Tex, which is original anywhere but Texas... It's grown on me, so it's become my online persona.
Only problem is the name is so jippy, I've always been reluctant to use it on sites related to the fire service for fear of the ribbing I'd get from the guys at the station. Could be worse, could have gone with something like Smoke-eater, or DragonSlayer instead.

My screen name is random and choosen to work across all internet sites,forums,computers, etc. Had it since 1991,and before that I was actually using my real name (or at least my real initials on the net).
My passowrd is also randomish. Used to be sequence of processor instruction codes w/ operands. But now, it has evolved into something completely interesting.

Thank you, dws1117.I figured with you being in East Texas that your screen name might be a reference to Sam Rayburn, sometimes known as Big Sam.
On this Thanksgiving, please remember our Texican predecessors. All of those who braved the westward expansion.
One of my ancestors came to Texas in 1829; he was Alcalde of Nacogdoches.
I'm thankful for my family history, my history as a Texan, and for my dear friends and family.

Nothing creative in my case, I have a little ranch and it's in Texas, hence TX Rancher.
It's a little cow/calf operation, and we run a custom baling operation on the side.
Having a ranch does have some benefits though, I took the tractor and made myself a little range. It's nice being able to go out and shoot when I want.
