Here it goes....

I work with the elderly.  A lot of my residents are there for rehab from surgeries or an illness.  I love to sit and chat with my residents.  I talk all the time and I'm in general a huge goof ball.  One morning I went in to get one of my ladies out of bed and ready for the day.  She was having none of it and said she was going to stay in bed all day with her head under the covers.  I right away went into cheerleader mode.  You'll feel so much better if you get up and shower, have some breakfast and all that kind of stuff.  She looked right at me and said do you ever shut up Flipperlips.  I was laughing so hard.  Can you picture an 80 something year old saying that?  It was hilarious.  So that's how I came up with me screen name.   I'll never forget that day or that resident.  Of course she is all better now and has since gone home, but I'll never forget her.  She was a firecracker and I hope I'm just like her when I get into my 80's.

My name is Ann Marie... when my Mother brought me home my brother  could not say my name and said Ree ree... so I became Ree ree... shortened to ree because I am also short.
No one really calls me Ann Marie... so most of the time I am Ree
My ouch screen name is Reespirit which is my name on most other boards that I belong to because I am a F-Reespirit...

I loved this thread because yes we always wonder why people have chosen the names they have... I love the flipperlips story and I believe it... also Does Dennis really have 10 kids at the ripe age of 45 God bless ya...

I have seen pics of Phil explaining your screenname.  It is very different

Someone at LouCon asked the meaning behind my screenname. They said it took them awhile to figure out that the letters and numbers, if you look at them right, say "Blacksheep".

Well, I was the last of 3 children, and my parents had two boys, and since I was the LAST kid to come, they wanted a girl. I popped out with my willie, and my father hated me from day one (thus the reason I often use the quote "Pissing off the world one person at a time since 1970" time to time) and I was the black sheep of the family.

I've been on this board for 10 years this April, and at times have had to take a break now and then from it. After going through a very rough period I thought to myself, "We call this a 'family' and it IS a family; albeit very dysfunctional. Not everyone gets along. Some people tend to seem clique-ish (that has been argued to death), and while I have some good friends on here, I know quite a few who don't like me for some reason or another. It doesn't piss in my cheerios one bit, since they've not spent a minute in my shoes, much less walked a mile in them.
So, I figure if this is a family, I'm pretty much the Black Sheep of it. The screenname just fell into my proverbial lap. 

Now, my radio / stage name, Mack Danger; I did not come up with. I got the nickname "Mack" a long time ago cause it rhymes with Jack (Mack Daniels, if you please.) Some friends of mine were trying to come up with a rpg name for me, and after coming up with some doozies, they made a combo of my nickname, and how I'm 'as dangerous as a Mack truck headed for a gas station at 110 miles an hour' and my friend Ashley said "You're Mack Danger" and it stuck. The funny part is, some people here in the hood only know me as "Mack", and I prefer it that way too. 

But to those who know me best, I will always be fREEK.

I love this, this is cool.  And if you were to have logged in using "muzzle fuckers", I would have been afraid for you.
