I'm not a dentist if that's what you're thinking.

When I was trying to decide on a screen name for this site, I was watching the news.  They were showing a clip I had seen before of a particularly despicable and traitorous politician lying about our servicemen.  He is a bit of a moron but I guess he thought it sounded bright to pronounce Genghis Khan (to whom he was comparing our troops) 'jen jis'.

I remember thinking the guy needed a smack in the mouth so I suppose that's how a pompously pronounced Genghis morphed into Gingivitis.  Every time I see the name, it reminds me of the complete and utter contempt with which I view all politicians of his particular (yellow) stripe.

Wow - I think that's the grouchiest thing I've ever posted here.  Good thread.

Well, there is not much to say as Falk is just my real name - and I dont see a reason why I should use an other identity here  :readit:  
My name was given to me by my father, who's main hunting interest always has been in Falconry / Hawking. Falk is just the German form for first name use of 'Falke' - which means the bird of prey: Falcon

Mine is from a particular prototype (expensive) big tuna fishing rod that was custom wrapped by a friend. Well, you guessed it, I pulled on that thing and snapped it in 3 pieces. This was on the same day it was to leave on a 17 day tuna trip. When that thing snapped, I almost fell into a pile of 100-300 pound tuna waiting to be weighed.

Mine is the Norwegian word for a person from the community where my grandmother originated.  It also happens to be the place where Norway's first constitution was drafted and signed. Not sure how she pulled it off, but my dad was born on the same day of the year as the signing -- May 17th -- which is celebrated as Norway's national day.  And my parents' wedding anniversary!

Mine was given to me in the late 70's. I was the only one that I know of in the county where I lived that didn't shoot a compound.  (And to this date still never have). Had hair halfway down my back, ( holdover from my musician days ) and was shooting longbows and recurves in the 80 to 100# range. When I showed up at shoots or hunt camps everyone just started calling me Bawana Bowman mostly because I looked like an Indigenous native, and could draw and hold more weight than everyone I shot with.
The name just stuck and people still remember me by that name more than my real name!

I make quivers and always put a natural barred turkey feather on each one.  Also, I only use natural barred feathers on my arrows, although almost always dyed. So........barredfeather.

Mine is a nick name my grandmother gave me when I was, well, a little tyke.  Stuck with me ever since.  Now most people who I've met as an adult call me by my real name, Joe, everybody in my family still calls me Tyke.

Mine was my nickname in high school.  My last name is hard to say fast or write, so a coach started calling me cville and it stuck.  It is just slightly ironic that I go to UVA and now live in charlottesville.

Hunting was hazardous, but at least it guaranteed the freedom of the individual.

There is no doubt that the onset of farming saw the end of leasure for the majority of people, who were destined to toil in the fields.
