    I had a teacher in school with a lisp :D and everyday he would be going off at me, calling me a "punk" but it came out like "Spunk". And the 84 is the birth date

    Not that I ever really post, I tend to just lurk and read the shooting forum and nothing else, but trying to figure out a clever name was too much and "insertclevermoniker" seems to have been already taken... so insertclever had to do ;)

    Doubt anyone on here know's me, well apart from gunhappy whom I talk to every now and then :P

    I have to admit that sometimes I cannot make heads or tails of some of the user-names in the shooting forum.

    Some names you can make out: bunny_Shooter, CliveJ, gunhappy_ie, and the Big Fella for example.

    Others, I have no idea: Ezridax, GixxerThou, bazzaz888, ormondprop, and such.

    So, if you care to, please give us some background on your user name.

    All invited, even those we think we understand.

    Pretty obvious mine i guess,lol.

    Grizzly 45
    Registered Users Posts: 15,025 ✭✭✭✭Grizzly 45


    Comes from an actual handgun .
    Full title would be AMT Grizzly 45 Mk 1 Winchester Magnum.Which is rather long.So shortned it to Grizzly 45.
    One of the more aggressive handguns I have shot too,and I liked it as it has a rather large grip which fits my "paw" alot better than most.:D

    Good thread.............

    I used to be involved in a sports league in limerick city, and it was mainly run by city clubs, with some clubs from out the country. I eventually managed to get myself onto the committee and I was the "Country Voice" :D

    It's an inside joke tack ;) I've seen loads and the female ridges look similar to vissies but you can tell them apart by their faces

    It's really hard to find out my real name. :)

    Once upon a time I worked in a company on the end of a phone so everyone used instant messenger to chat (hard to talk to your co-workers when the customers keep interrupting! :o). A load of the people there had come from another company that handled customers from both the UK and Ireland. Those that worked with UK customers used UK in their handles and those who handled Irish customers used IRL or IE. I tried to sign up with "Conor" and some fecker had already taken it so I followed the convention that my colleagues did and tacked IRL on the front.

    Roll on a few more years and most people guess that it means I'm Conor In Real Life. I never thought about it when I was ordering it, but it also ended up on the back of my shooting jacket. :)

    Actually, that's where I thought it came from originally - didn't realise that that was just a coincidence :pac:

    Since the both of yee told me who yee were what figuring out was there?;)

    And since a lad posted his wedding on this his identity is no big secret!

    I was called Tackleberry for years. Since the 90's in fact as I had so much of an interest in guns.

    I met Fisma and he is much older than I was expecting.

    I was chatting Dev110 about wurzel gummage the other day and he had no idea what I was talking about! Youth eh!!

    Perhaps the boards admins could change my login to TackleberryIRL :D

    If only I knew a boards.ie admin:confused:
