How Did You Decide on Your User Name?

[TheDoctor]

I saw this on another message board and it was actually very interesting. The question is, how did you decide on your user name for Bisonville? I'll start by saying that B1SON is my North Dakota state issued license plate. The best part is when we added the NDSU logo to the plates, my plates now read NDSU B1SON. Ok, who is up next? ;)

[Bison"FANatic"]

No real story behind mine. Sometimes I get a little fanatical about sports and especially the Bison. I am definitely a big FAN so that is how it came about.

[Go_Herd]

Here's the breakdown

Go--to instill pride and dedication

_ used as a separator....no meaning whatsoever. Shocking I know

Herd--a group of majestic Bison are called a Herd.


Yep nothing too revolutionary here. I actually tried SDbison, but obviously that was already taken.

Quick...How long does it take for concrete to dry?

Sorry I couldn't resist. My brother is a civil and that's what I always tell him his job is. Being a Industrial Engineer it's hard to resist. But lets not start on Industrial Engineering jokes.

[roadwarrior]

hmmm.....let me think.....

[gotts]

Civil Engineering grad, 2006

Civil here too, far from graduated, it'll take me 6 years to graduate (I'm about 2/3 of the way there).

The name is basic, abbreviated form of my last name...

[aces1180]

My baseball number was 11 and I was a pitcher, so I a coach called me Aces....For the number part, I was born on the 11th day of 1980.

[GOB1SON]

Actually, I stole it from you! :hide:

I was looking for a NDSU vanity plate from ND, trying all sorts of different combo's but couldn't find anything cool that wasn't already taken. Then I remembered YOUR plate, tried GOB1SON, and it was available.

So I have GOB1SON on my Buick, and when I decided to join here, I just went with it.

If you want a cut of my Bisonville compensation package, have your people talk to my people. :)

Thats funny! My wife's car was GO DUKE and I was going to change it to GO B1SON because it was available. So, I went to register it in February or soemthing like that and bam it was gone. Now I know who stole it! :rofl: It's ok, I got her GO NDSU so all is well. Glad your enjoying it! ;)

[ndsubison1]

pretty simple actually. Ming= my last name. 01 because I am number 1!!! :biggrin: Actually it's my favorite number

It depends on what your desired compressive strength is. ;)

The two things you need to know for civil engineering is that water runs downhill, and you can't push a rope.

[BlueBisonRock]

The Bison part is easy.
Rock(y) - my nickname since I was one. And, no. I never did coach at the collegiate level.
Blue - The color that the company which has employed me for almost three decades is associated with.

[runtheoption]

I really, really enjoy watching triple/veer/I formation option football. Old NDSU, Nebraska, Sooner, military acadamy videos, etc., bring a tear to my eye. Hence,.....

So Go_Herd, why would you want SDbison? I know everyone wants to live the life of "SD", but there can only be one of me. :D
I see from another post you are also an Industrial Engineering grad. Always interesting to find out what kind of work IE's are up to. For me its managing software and electronics related projects. What are you doing?
Oh yeah, SDbison.....in the early days of this website I saw some posters indicated where they live and placed that in front of bison, etc. I had recently moved back to the area after living and working in Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Seattle and Phoenix and thought my location in Sioux Falls would be best represented by SD for "South Dakota" bison.

[TransAmBison]

I just combined my two greatest passions...

[UTH]

I believe that JBB, MlpsBison, Bisonfan1234, and Bisonguy were already taken.:banghead:

Using a name like SDSU Thundering Herd would constitute supporting terrorism.http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff311/indio_rojas/Smilies/Smileypistols.gif

Wouldn't dream of stooping down to the level of starting a user name with "Trans".:hide:

Decided to leave a great user name like "lakesbison" reserved for a more deserving feller.:blush:
Went to the bar, got drunk, and woke up the next morning with a bad tattoo of a fat stripper, a pocket full of Canadian change, and this new user name.http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff311/indio_rojas/Smilies/dancingsmilies.gif

[lakesbison]

LAKESBISON....... 1/3 of the world is covered by ME.
2/3's of the world is covered by (water) or Lakes.

[coldspot]

i was struggling to think of a good name and i happened to be watching ghost hunters on the sci fi channel at the time i was registering(you dont need to point it out, i know im a nerd). heard the term cold spot mentioned and i went with it.

[tcbison]

Didn't you have a different user name before lakes? I think it had to do with your love affair with the school up north. :nod:

tcbison is for Twin Cities where I currently live.

[Ferd]

Years ago to fool someone I made up the name Ferd Gamortlich. The joke worked and I've come to like the name Ferd.

[cbline]

My house is very near the county line between Clay and Becker counties in Minnesota.

This should be full of win... Please?

If you want a cut of my Bisonville compensation package

My wife threatens to do that to me every now and again...

Good thing you said that, cause I was about to fire one or two off! Hooray Mechanical Engineering!

Oh yeah, and I lived in Fargo for 18 years before shipping off to become a Cyclone fan at Iowa State for school (didn't want to spend my whole life in one town.:rolleyes: ) Therefore I became fargocyclone, a cyclone from fargo. Brilliant!

2/3 of the world is covered by Nick Schommer!

[cbline]

2/3 of the world is covered by Nate Schommer!

No, 2/3 is covered by Ditka, and the other 1/3 wishes that it was covered by him too.

[missingnumber7]

Nooooo...you're both wrong...2/3 of the world cower at the name of Ditka, the other 1/3 died when trying to say his name.

and Missingnumber7 came from my broncos board name which is my homage to Elway, but I also have 7fan on my truck, they are guard plates.

[TheDoctor]

A perfect example of why this thread exists, I NEVER would have guessed this one (or others for that matter). ;)

I have a former student who is a big Bison fan, likes the Broncos, is in the Guard, AND officiates. Have any idea who he is??? ;)

Interesting......the guy who gave you the name "Slick Vic" must be a genious! ;)

[McBison]

If you haven't seen the movie 'Super Bad' there is a young guy who gets a fake id with the name 'McLovin'. Swapped in a little Pride, and there she be.

You need to get a NDSU id card and do some photo shopping.

It's stuff like this that I do instead of studying that will keep me here for 6 years...

Well congratulations is in order! Congratulations! ;)

[NDSUstudent]

Mine is pretty self explanatory but if any of you UND and SDSU fans need help I'll be glad to explain it to you.;)

[17>1]

8 is the amount of "fingers" that have a ring on them indicating how many championships NDSU has won. Let me take the 1 ring UND has and slip it onto the middle finger of my right hand and I'll gladly show it to all their fans. 8 is greater than 1.

[56BISON73]

56= my playing number
Bison= self explanitory
73= the year we won the conference championship and were rated 16th in the nation

Tbon = I play trombone
Zach = my first name

At the game on Tuesday night in Rothsay "SlickVic" said that he wants to change his name and wants to be referred to as "the JVP"....

only insiders like burgandy b1son bobby and close personal friends can call me that...for all the lovely ladies my name has and always will be big slick...so all u other fools should stick with slick...thanks ;)

[bisonranch]

Taking back roads home to ND when I lived in Iowa, I drove by many bison ranchs.

I'm an engineer but I dabble in the cattle industry on the side...so it fits.

[borderbison]

When you tickle the northern border like I do, it just seemed natural. I can get to a canadian bar faster than a Fargoan can get to the West lot. It was sure handy when we were 18 though, just ask Trans Am!

Let me tell you a little story....

Well by many standards I am not too old (23) so when I was little I used to watch the Muppet Show. Best dam piece of television ever made. There were two old men who used to sit in the balcony (Statler & Waldorf). I always wanted to be like them....

[NDFAN2]

NDFAN is the username I use on another board, but it was already taken on this board, so I added a "2".

I lived in Colorado for 9 months once in my life, and I was very happy to move back to ND.
