| Screen Names and their origins? | |

AKmaro1 opined: "We should have a thread where some of us discuss our Screen Names and their origins. Now I think Mary and John are excluded for obvious reasons (no offense guys).  But those of us with more "unique" names could join in. Just a thought... " So, I thought I'd bite! ...... Without getting preachy, here it goes... horao is the Greek word for the verb "to see, to perceive with the eyes, to observe". Erote (the conjugated form of horao that means "You see") is the first word in James 2:24. To me, that verb (and that its subject is you and not God) harmonized a claimed inconsistency with Paul in Romans 3:28. That is all .... So, who's next? Turk?

Mine comes from picking up the greatest game on the planet, curling, I picked up at age 8. About 6 weeks after my seeing it for the first time, I was invited to join them for a game, in which I promptly broke the broom I had. The Skip (basically the team captain), turn to someone else and said "Get Sweep here a new broom." .... The name has stuck for over 30 years. |

Ok, well I'm glad to see some of us have joined in, although Turk's explanation seems a little weak and vague to me.  .... I guess I should join in (after all I brought it up...) Mine gets broken down a bit, now the A & K are the initials of my real first and last name. Then the "maro" is short of course for Camaro, which was the 1st real car I ever had. I don't have it anymore, but still loved the experience! Then the 1 was a number I had to add on when I switched accounts at AOL, where it was my screen name (yeah, that long ago). So the name sounds like "A Camaro1" or AKmaro1. It was a neat concept I picked up from a buddy of mine who used something similar as his screen name. So there you go. Now I must admit Sweepers name was a bit of a shock to me. I thought it came from him "sweeping" the areas to get all these cell phones. Now we know the real story, and pretty neat at that. I would have never gotten horao's name either without the explaination. Oh and John's, I had a sneaking feeling about his all along... LOL Now let's see if Turk can gives us a good one this time. (If he wants to) No pressure there buddy.

* Sorry I haven't been on in the last 2 days, but I just got back from France on a Secret Mission. * Anyways ... hey Sweeper ... I don't like to brag, but since you brought it up with that youtube clip... * Did you know that the Mission Impossible movies with Tom Cruise were made off of my Secret Agent Missions? * I gave Hollywood my Stories and they made the movies ..... pretty impressive don't ya think? * The only few things that made me mad about the M.I. movies is that I didn't care for Tom Cruise playing me. * Why you ask? ... because: > I am smarter than him. > I am taller than him. > I am bigger and stronger than him. > and I am way more better looking than him! * Ok, enough of this ... I can't be talking about this anymore ... I have to keep it on the down low ... shhhhh... * Ps: If any strangers come up to any of you and asks about me ... just say you never heard of me, ok? .. Who's Turk? Never heard of him.

My screen name is pretty simple. I am a well known Superstar, so I have to wear a mask around so my fans don't see me and bother me all the time. Hey, if Turk can be a secret agent, then I can be a superstar! (ha ha ha  )No, I am just joking around. I am not a superstar, imagine that.  The Masked Superstar was a pro wrestler back in the 1980's with the wwf, and he was one of my favorite wrestlers to. He is also from the same area were I live. So I guess I am honoring him some what by using his picture and name.

* I remember the Masked Superstar very well ... he was a classic bad guy ... battled alot of the top wrestlers. * I figured it was the same name you were using as the wrestlers ... since it's the picture of him you're using. * horao ... I don't know if you know, but the WWF was also the name of the wrestling organization back then. * So you better be kidding... - or the Masked Superstar will give you the "Swinging Neck Breaker" and crush your spine!!!! (lol - jk) Turk - Masked Super Genius
