TootsieT Cool Runner	posted Jan-31-2005 12:55 PM At one time we owned a business and our logo was a steam whistle blowing a white cloud with the business name inside. We nicknamed the whistle 'Tommy Toot'. Long before I started running, I was doing a lot of chatting online and used TommyToot as my handle. Yes, I'm a female but that just seemed to be the easiest name to use. One of my chat friends didn't think that name suited me and started calling me 'Tootsie' instead. Had to add the 'T', which is the first initial of my last name when I started using the handle elsewhere as there were already a bunch of Tootise's followed by numbers. ------------------ My User Profile Lucky me--I run because I can!!! :) TootsieT IP: Logged
bedbug Cool Runner	posted Jan-31-2005 05:29 PM Some say I'm crazier than one ....! Also, I like "The Pope of Greenwich Village" and the neighborhood gangster, bedbug Eddie. IP: Logged
Spareribs Cool Runner	posted Jan-31-2005 06:07 PM "The Pope of Greenwich Village" was one of the funniest books I ever read. Wanna buy a turrobred? IP: Logged
twoleftfeet Cool Runner	posted Jan-31-2005 08:43 PM I'm not very original, but I chose my name because I'm somewhat of a klutz and when I signed up as newbie, I felt like, well, a newbie! Anyway, my name is no longer really descriptive of how I run, but still fits me in other ways! Lisa IP: Logged
Buddy Duck Cool Runner	posted Jan-31-2005 09:03 PM I've had many nicknames over the years. This one once was an unofficial stage name when I was in a band several years ago. I've thought about starting a new band someday called "The Buddy Duck Experience". I mean really, how can you keep a straight face saying that? IP: Logged
secretlove unregistered	posted Jan-31-2005 09:10 PM If I tried to tell, then it would no longer be a secret. So I can't play today. IP: Logged
tetsujin04 Cool Runner	posted Jan-31-2005 09:34 PM edit: revised/rewritten 4/12/06 Since my only claim to running fame in finishing the 1987 Ironman Hawaii was made possible by qualifying in the same year's Ironman ("tetsujin") Japan, I used tetsujin87 in CR until finishing the open-to-all-entries Ironman Coeur d'Alene in June 2004, then changed to tetsujin05 after doing it again in 2005 with my son. Currently using tetsujin30 in 2006 as the 30th year I've been able to complete one or more marathons (and 29th year of one or more triathlons).

kateMD Cool Runner	posted Jan-31-2005 10:28 PM Sigh...I wish we were looking for a winner in the "most boring" category rather than the most interesting. I'd like to be in the running for that since I'm not fast enough to be in the running for running. I had a lack of creativity when I signed up here. I'm Kate. I'm a doctor. Maybe some people would think I'm from Maryland? Nope. Oregon. ------------------ My Profile IP: Logged

HalfHead unregistered	posted Jan-31-2005 10:42 PM I have a sizable cranium, so my friends aptly named me "Head". After losing 70 lbs while i was away from all of them, the next time they saw me i looked half of myself, hence HalfHead. IP: Logged
hup Moderator of Boomers and Beyond	posted Jan-31-2005 11:41 PM Late to the party ...... It's cool reading about everyone's screen names. Mine is not very imaginative. My initials are H(enry)P(retzer). Years ago Mrs hup called me HP for a time, it somehow, sometime morphed to hup. ------------------ hup IP: Logged
grzldvt Cool Runner	posted Feb-01-2005 01:23 AM My handle is also my license plate, and comes from running every Big Sur(Grizzled Vet) and being a bit of a Corvette fanatic. One of my Corvettes was pretty rough looking, so it was the perfect plate. ------------------ Big Sur Grizzled Vet IP: Logged
Bobcatt Cool Runner	posted Feb-01-2005 03:41 AM Well, nothin' special here, either. One of my nicknames for a long time (old friends) has been Bobcat, and I kinda like it. I've used that name at other sites, but when I came here, "Bobcat" was taken. I did a search for that name, and only one post was made by that person, and that well over a year before I got here. But he had the name, and I couldn't get it. So I just modified it a little, and made Bobcatt. I was hoping to get the original after the big melt-down in here last year (there were several people who had lost their screen names, and had to start all over), but no such luck, Bobcat was still registered to somebody else. There you go. Who's left? IP: Logged
Spareribs Cool Runner	posted Feb-01-2005 07:55 AM Lioness is left Bob Catt. And we can't officially close the contest without her. I think she's playing hard to get. Spareribs IP: Logged
wetrunner1 unregistered	posted Feb-01-2005 01:13 PM Well, I live in the rainy Pacific NW. I leave for my run after my husband has already been out for about a half hour, then he comes in and goes to work before I get in. So, one exceptionally wet morning, when only the ducks and the die-hards were out, he emailed me from work to see if I had made it back. He addressed it to "wetrunner1" and signed it "wetrunner2"...and it stuck. IP: Logged
geb Cool Runner	posted Feb-01-2005 07:51 PM I enjoyed reading all the posts here. This is why I chose Geb...Haile Gebrselassie is my favorite athlete of all. I admire his ability, mental toughness and work ethic. I've followed his career for a while now. He's a great credit to the world of running not only for his talent but for what he gives back. Hope he has a great London Marathon too. Lisa V. IP: Logged

OldXCguy Cool Runner	posted Feb-02-2005 07:47 AM Hello everyone! I'm new around here, but I recognize some of you from another running site where I spend a lot of my time. Everyone seems so civil around here. What a refreshing change! In the same vein as most of what has been posted on this thread, no imagination here. I'm 52 years old, have been running for a long time (25 years), and I'm particularly fond of cross country. IP: Logged
26pt2mike Cool Runner	posted Feb-02-2005 02:08 PM I have to say, that this thread and the "Confessions" one in Basic Training have made for some very interresting reading. It kinda gives an insite to the personality behind the words, so now I have a new mental picture of you all. Good job ribs for starting this!! Mike IP: Logged
Tibbar2 unregistered	posted Feb-02-2005 02:25 PM I had a pet rabbit that I name Tibbar - rabbit spelled backward (and pronounced Tibber). Someone had already taken just Tibbar, so I became Tibbar2. So where is the original Tibbar ? IP: Logged

katholeenie Cool Runner	posted Feb-02-2005 02:58 PM I'm the youngest of 4. All my life my brothers have made up various versions of my name. It started when would I get mail from them (when they were in college and I was in gradeschool, when they were traveling the world and I was in highschool, when they got jobs and I was away at college) they always spell my name some crazy way: kath-ode, kath-a-anna (middle name is anne), kath-o-leenie.....the list goes on. Kath-o-leenie is the one they use most frequently. And now, since they've been writing my name like that for so long they call me all those names too.
