I like using "handles" instead of my name. I feel much more brave :)

My screen name is not all that silly. It has truth to it... I really was born and bred in captivity. Was caged for several hours a day until I was 2.5 years old. Was escorted everywhere I went until I was 11 or so. Finally made a break for it in my teens. I was recovered a couple times but eventually pulled off the great escape :)
 
I was nicknamed Shorty by the real "Professor" way back in 1990, right after I started college at MSU.

If you want to know my real name, just ask...I don't hide and yes I have had my credit card numbers stolen from time to time, it just happens. I have a full resume online with phone numbers and addresses, but I am not hiding from anybody for that matter. I been very active on the Internet since 1990. My theory has always been, if it's my time to go, it's my time to go...what happens in life is more often than not out of my control. Heck, what's to stop anyone from being killed at any given moment? It sure isn't one of us.

Think about it,
Shorty

Should I be worried???? Can you provide the link about Gremlin and his guns? And what in the heck happened with FL and Debra? Seems like Debra must have been in the right if all those guys have been banned. I for one applaud her loyalty and enjoy her humor. In fact, I wish she posted more.

Debra has issues. Every bulletin board I've been on, she is arguing with someone. Perhaps, she's spending a little too much time with Daffy Duck.
 
Does it really matter? I could tell you my name is one thing and it be something else. How would you really know?

My name is Joe in case your curious.

The new year is coming up -- time for new beginnings.

How about some of you regular posters come out of the name-closet. You can do it. I know you can.

I'd tell you Mike, but then I'd have to kill you. :D
Besides my picture is there and you've met me in CT. Yes it's true my real name is Albert Einstein.
Steve. <== Going back in the closet, but not with Cornerman, now who could that be.
 
First off, there is no privacy, so get over it.

People using their real names would make telling tall tales, such as "8 ball is too easy" or "this practice drill is too easy for me" less frequent.

It's funny that on the TAP website, a guy was discussing how dominate a shooter he was, and he gave his name and region. I was able to find his stats from his league night, since TAP posts weekly online stats for all shooters.
 
What? you don't think supergreen man is a good name? for cryin out loud. how about James? I'll answer to both. Especially if a game of pool or a steak dinner is on the line.:D :D :D

Nope, I was Kaplan until the 8th grade when they asked for my birth certificate and it came back with the name Collins on it. Barton is the only one I chose. Just goes to show how names are much less important than content, at least in my opinon.

Ben Franklin wrote an awful lot of good content under pen names.

Whats the big deal..

All players in all sprorts have nick names...The fact that your name is MikePage means nothing to me..But if you use an alias such as "i'manineballshootinsonofagun" i will take notice..Don
 
After you get someone's name and address, then go to Google Earth. You can see a pretty good satellite view of their neighborhood, their back yard and even the car they drive. Good zooming ability. Pictures are not up-to-date but recent enough.
 
Whoa! That is so cool!!!! It was nice to know that my address doesn't come up because it is so new (we moved in before the house was totally finished, and the subdivision/our culdesac was brand new), and it is interesting to see what it looked like before.
 
Oddly enough...Everyone knows me as Ctatyk Frost.
OK...so that wasn't fair. It's pronounced "Static"
