Defend Your Handle Part II

SmashMouth · 07-02-2021, 10:18 AM

SmashMouth was born out of my love for the game after having moved from France many eons ago. And fate had me move to New Orleans where my Mama was from. I guess you could say it was fate that I became a Saints fan. Just imagine if I had moved to Dallas or some other crazy place like that. I sure can't. Also love music. They don't have American football in France, obviously. So that's why my avi shows where I was born. Although Foreverfan ran a campaign once where we all switched our avis to beautiful babes.

I've been blessed to travel all fifty states, and many, many countries around the world. While every place has its own beauty, there's nothing like the good ole USA and, of course, Louisiana, despite its challenges. The combination of culture, food, way of life, and weather down here makes it unique. Yeah, it's too humid for some, but it's that very humidity that keeps the skin fresh looking in our advanced years versus folks in drier parts of the country.

Thanks to all of you for being contributing members of this board.

What year was that? I remember when they did it to the Steelers.

God only knows, a long, long time ago.

Several of these descriptions had me rolling. Thanks. By comparison my "handle" is mundane. Thirty3 is the number I wore playing Half-back and linebacker starting at 10 years old. I was 11 when we got the team. Back then they decided to have the boy scout troops come to the games and usher for the first quarter and then we were free to sit anywhere. My dad and uncle had season tickets and so I would go sit with them and dad always stopped and bought us a hot fudge sundae on the way home. For several years I went to all Saints games and Tulane games as well as the Sugar bowls. I started with Black and Gold back in late 80's or early 90's don't quite remember.
Lived in Germany for 20 years and I had to go to an internet cafe and rent time online. Searching for Saints related articles I came across B&G. Been a fan of the site ever since but never "joined" till some time later when I returned to the states.
Keep it up, it is definately a part of my life I would miss if it were gone!

Rugby Saint II · 07-03-2021, 01:58 PM

I am 62 and my computer course in college used punch cards like the old NASA computers did. I was slow to come around to using a computer until later in life. I had to get an email to receive referee assignments from the union about 15 years ago. After I got on the internet I then read everything I could about the Saints and eventually found the bng and settled here to call it home. The bng is my lifeline to the Saints and to all my friends here.

My username is pretty straight forward. Rugby and the Saints are my life! Also, I'm an identical twin and my rugby playing number was 2 thus the II. I was a hooker for 40 years but I didn't make a dime.

I love this thread.
I hope more members, especially the lurkers, log in and testify!

I really want to know about the complicated handles that people like Saintfan, whodat, and cha-ching chose for this site...
