[Saltyreef]

Used to have wooden plugs in my ears! Grew up, had kids and got rid of them. I used to also be a carpenter and the plugs were handmade.

How large did you gauge them?
I havent worn plugs myself in over 10 years but my lobes still sag like grandma.

 

[Saltyreef]

Well.....
My Reef is kinda salty. Used to be saltier until i got a refracto

 

[Homewrecker]

Through lots of ridiculous circumstance I've killed lots of homewrecker frags. More than a couple fell off the plugs(epoxy and all) and finally a fish knocked over the last one. Its so bad that I refuse to buy more LOL
In short, mine was out of sheer spite for an acro that I have longed to actually grow out but refuses to thrive in my aquariums

 

[FMF0331]

Biglew was my nickname in the Marines 93-99. the 11 came later when joining a site and Biglew was taken so I tried Biglew1 and that was also taken, so in a moment of superiority complex I came up with 11 as having 2 number ones in it, been using it every where since.

Semper Fi

[homer1475]

Growing up the nick homer/homie stuck. It stuck so much, my wife even calls me homer/homie.

1475 is the day and year of my birth. Been using this nick everywhere on the net for close to 20 years.

 

[Nick Steele]

This one is just my name.

But usually I use Lyfeoffishing everywhere else. I grew up fishing both fresh and saltwater from a very young age. My grandfather use to take me and it is one of the last memories I have of him doing anything physical. I never stopped fishing till the last few years due to getting a full time job and a wife (all fun!) but getting ready to have a 4 day work schedule so will have some extra free time to fish again!

 

[HockeyRooster]

Do it. Tell the wife, I approve! I bought the car before I got married, because I figured it most likely wouldn't happen after that. I heard a lot of stories to that effect. And with my son about to enter college next year, yeah there's no way it would fly now. I also started the tank before I even met my wife, so she knew that was a package deal too!

You’re a smart man! I got the car a year before my daughter was born and had it for 8 years. The reason I sold it was because it was lonely to drive around in. I replaced it with the same year and colour Trans Am-it’s fine but it’s no vette (even though it has the same drivetrain). So at least I have back seats and can take them for a drive. Cheers!

 

[RobB'z Reef]

My mom gave it to me

 

[BackToTheReef]

Pretty boring story. I was in the hobby, then wasn't, now I'm back (sort of).

[Rip2131]

Cal Ripken 2131 it's the game that broke Gehrig's record ... and I just so happened to be there on the 3rd base side about 15 rows up. Amazing game.

 

[Oregon Grown Reef]

I was born and raised here in Oregon and I grew my personal reef here. I was originally going to go with oregongrownreefer, but that means something completely different in this state.

 

[GaryE]

What is the story or meaning behind your username on R2R? How long have you had it? Tell me your secrets

Mine stems from an episode of Sherlock from BBC called The Hounds of Bakersville where at some point in the plot there is a fluorescent rabbit. After looking into it they did actually make such a rabbit through genetic modification with a species of jellyfish Aequorea victoria. 221B is Holme's apartment number. Side note, I havn't seen the rest of the series but I was.... *cough* inebriated when I came up with it.

First name, middle initial. Had it my whole life.

 

[kingoftheHiLLpeople]

Childhood nickname and year born. I have one username and one password for everything I do, that way I don’t have to remember too many. LOL.

You are not alone!

 

[kingoftheHiLLpeople]

Loathar King of the Hill People! Don’t know what it is who it came from but it’s been my user ID for everything. I’m sure I heard it while skiing.

 

[AlexKintner]

All of my usernames are Jaws references.

If there are any non-Jaws fans out there... Alex Kintner was the very unlucky kid on a yellow raft.
