What is the meaning of your screen name?

[PRosefan1]

Some are obvious and some are not. Mine came from my aol account from the mid 90’s. Pete Rose fan was taken and so was about thirty other variations. So this was the first one I could find. Used it on the old topps message boards and kept it when I signed up here.

 

[Shaggy]

I was skinny and had a goatee when I was a senior and so several of my friends would call me Shaggy. It stuck for a few years so I decided to go with it on my screen name.

I was in the Navy when I signed up to the site. I was a Machinist Mate 1st Class stationed on board the USS Hartford, SSN 768. It is a submarine based out of Groton,CT. That is where I came up with mm1sub.

I used to sit in on a local radio show called "Wayne's World of Baseball" hosted by a former benchie, espnwayne. We would talk baseball on the air and he asked met to give a fantasy baseball update as I was in a pretty competitive league at the time. So he combined my name (Robert) with roto baseball and rotorob was born.

 

[SymphonicMetal]

Cool topic! The only one I could figure out was the original poster's which was so obvious even I could decihper it! LMAO

My username is for the subgenre of heavy metal that I predominately listen to. Symphonic Metal is pretty much a European thing and it is extremely melodic and catchy with pop hooks but a heavier guitar driven sound and more often than not female fronted.. It pretty much is the only genre of music I listen to outside of some forays into 90s Griunge. Wierd because I am not a European hipster nor grungy............well OK, maybe a little grungy! LMAO!!

Being the ultimate "Get off my lawn" guy, I pretty much think everything is worse today than it was back in the day. NFL, NBA, MLB, pro wrestling, TV, movies, sports cards etc etc are all worse now than "back in the day". The one exception to this is music because the internet has opened up a whole world of fantastic recent and current music that surprisingly will never see the light of day to the mainstream. I found Symphonis Metal about 10 years ago and rarely come out of that rabbit hole for any other types of music.

It is very tough to trade with that guy since you are required to throw in some Scooby snacks to close the deal! Packing perishable food with sports cards is no easy task!!

 

[rl16]

initials and number of my favorite player Ray Lankford

 

[rlschles]

This is a very interesting thread.
Mine is super simple - first initial, middle initial, first 6 letters of my last name.

Jeff - Euro symphonic metal - is that like Stereolab and Sigur Ros?

Whenever I see a post from you I automatically say the three word phrase associated with those three letters!! Not negatively towards you or anything.
