okay ... the question just BEGS to be asked ...

[Spot]

after seeing the name "TheBunnyStomper" on a post in off course, how did you all come up with your COTH names?

Mine, of course, is because I breed coloured SPOTted Thoroughbreds, and is also a tribute to "Spot" - the lovely Spot Pocket who passed on WAY too early in 2003.

Bunny Stomper - how in GOD'S name did you come up with your name?

I'd love to hear the story behind the other not-obvious-at-all names!

[TheBunnyStomper]

Yah reeeeaaaallyy wanna know? LOL - I get that a LOT! I used to ride a 4th level mare who was, well, let's say...interesting. Her barn name is Sybil, if that tells you ANYTHING. She loved people - and nothing else, hated other horses, other animals, you name it. If they were around, she got very territorial. But looooved people. And she was usually very laid back and unassuming and VERY intelligent. This mare was a mental GIANT among horses.

My trainer was riding her one day in the outdoor arena on a loose rein. All of a sudden, Sib takes off, ears pinned, galloping like mad towards a bunny that had wandered into the arena. She clamps on the bit, and CHARGES the fluffy-tailed sucker down. She narrowly missed squishing it. After the offending bunny hitailed it out of there, she perked her ears, slowed to a walk and went back to being her normal, laid-back self.

My trainer told me that story and I DIED laughing. After she moved, I decided to use that name as my SN and UN for all forums, so she would know it was me. So, there it is, the story behind my name. Yes, I am The Bunny Stomper riding her Stomping mare - bunnies beware!

Aaahhhh...I'm just weird.

If ya must know...I have 3 lovely bunnies that sit beside my computer and play on COTH with me. Every so often when they are running around and think I am spending more time on COTH than i am with them, they will eat through the wires. They are strategic about it though. They wait until I am at the end of a very long brain-labouring post that has taken me several hours to type. Then, and only then will they chew through the wires enough to shut the computer down. I threatened them that while im typing a response (like now http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/yes.gif ) I will ALWAYS have my foot ready to squish the culprit who ventures near the wires. I have the screen name as a reminder for my bunnies (who usually sit on my desk and watch me type), as they can read, what their fate will be if the decide to hop off to the backside of the computer.

SquishtheB - that is so funny! I did not know that Canada was in the junk food dark ages. You're better off that way! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

So, what kind of bunnies are these? They sound adorable. Do they use the litter pan? My mother had a bunny (I think her name was Hunny - oi vay!)who she said was a wonderful pet.

Squish The Bunny: a clique would be cool - but what would we call it? The Bunny Maimers? Yeeeck. That's all that comes to mind at this point in time. Alternate personalities....hmm, that explains a lot about me LOL! I'm happy to say though, Squish the Bunny and I are separate entities - I don't even think we are distantly related...though we might be - who knows?

Spot: true, she really did. You have to know the mare to understand her. She was jsut defending her territory, "DIE EVIL RABBIT!"

I am TBS on UDBB as well. I should post a picture of Sib - you haven't lived till you've seen ALL of her personalities. This is her "Show Diva" personality, Try here: http://www.geocities.com/trekkipony/yellernmere.jpg

When I first joined this BB, I tried for "Lucy",but it was taken, so then (keeping it simple) I tried for "Cricket" (Lucy's sister), and since Cricket was also taken, I tried the name "Fred" which is the barn name of the apple of my eye, (and Lucy and Cricket's baby brother) A Fine Romance. so I became the cross-dressing "Fred". but I am actually a woman.

She said I am the smallest kid in the barn, but I still demand as much respect as everyone else. Sorta like how the smallest mare in the herd always seems to be the most dominant. So my screen name was going to be that. But someone on here as a very similar one, so we don't get confused with each other, I settled for Jewels. The name of the horse I was leasing at the time. But Jewels has since sold, and I feel like I should change it to Clue or Painted Lady, to pay tribute to the new horses I am riding. Maybe someday I will change......

houndsRus:

is all about my unreasonable notion that fox hounds make good house pets. I currently have two rescue hounds, Ariel and Zora Neale.

Ariel is 16 years old and has a brain tumor—the old gal has had a wonderful life. I’ll keep her going until she tells me it’s time. Currently, she is slanted to one side and has unsteady balance. However, she still smiles and plays and barks for her dinner—not yet time.

Zora Neale is 10 years old. She was severely abused and though I’ve had her for 8 years she still has “issues.”

We recently lost our wonderful bat-beagle Langston Hughes (interested parties can look up his related threads).

Wayne-DuPage Hunt Quasimodo 1999 will be the newest member of the family. He is currently still at the kennel. He’ll be coming home when he’s a bit more comfortable with his new mom.

[Schoolmarm]

Great stories, y'all! Mine's not. My very first online adventure (late 1980's/early 90's) was a visit to a chat room the night my 'puter was hooked up. Someone there asked me for my "handle". I had a P75, so I had lots of time to think, and still the best I could do was "I'm the new Schoolmarm" from some idiot western of my misspent youth. I'm a teacher, so . . .

[Drifter]

Being that at the time I signed on with the forums I didn't have a horse, I liked the name Driftwood for my potential future horse. Actually, it came from my younger days when I used to play a card game with a partner and he would call me Driftwood and/or Drifter, because I use to float along and he would occasionally have to "carry" me! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif Not as good a story as The Bunnystomper though! http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif

[SaudiHunter]

Was in Saudi, whiling away the final weeks of teaching (classes finished, just office hours) when I discovered the fascination that is the COTH BB.

Always been a hunter lover, and was deprived of them in Saudi (jumpers only!) (Jumpers are great too, but I grew up on hunters!)

Was originally Hunter73 (birthyear) but found that boring.

[Melzy]

I LOFF Mel Gibson and my favorite dog is named Zoey. I sort of combined the 2 names and came up with MELZY. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

Mine's about as boring as it gets. The university assigns each student a name for their online applications. It is the first initial and the first 6 letters of your last name. Since I use it for school stuff I started using it for everything. But if you want I could make up a cool, but fake, story.

We get to pick ours, but I picked something traditional....first initial then my last name. So my user name is Sluther....I didn't realize it until a friend pointed it out and it was too late!! (break it up into two words) http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif
