Defend Your Handle Part II

dizzle88 · 07-07-2021, 03:18 PM

I was 17 years old and pretty immature lol my wannabe gangster mate thought Dizzle sounded cool and used to call it me all the time.
88 was the number I had when I played WR for Nottingham and Lincoln in the UK
I've been meaning to and I'm actually going to change it now I'm nearly 30 years old lol

JP you are the poster child for WhoDats, NOLA, B&G, and Coonazzes worldwide. (I am, in spirit.) Your avatar is iconic, also.

I always thought it was racial. My hs nickname was "Pedro," if that tells you anything.

No, yours is good, too. I like when I run into someone who's email or license, etc tips me off to who they really are. : ) I'm the guy at the office, who, you find a Saints coffee cup in the kitchen, and everyone knows exactly who it belongs to.

NWLA Fans hold a special place in my heart. West Louisiana, which was a home for me, had no real tv. We should have been called "Vise Grip WhoDats," referring to the tool for turning your antannae to either Shreveport or Alexandria.

Remember that well. You and FF were the reason I switched to this site.

Somebody else noticed all the old guys here. There should be a special badge.

Been a member since 2007 after finding the site on the web. Moved to Texas in 1991 and always had trouble finding places to watch and talk Saints. This site introduced me to some great friends here in Texas. As far as my handle goes, it's pretty self explanatory, I've drank quite a few Buds in the past 40 years and figured it was easy to remember.

What an awesome thread!

I was on another board for a few years and ended up getting blocked for being "too negative and critical of the team". I had to laugh when I read the message and realized those folks lived in a dream bubble of unicorn milk and pots of gold, not in the real world.

I cracked open a cold beer and sat down at the computer to find a new home for discussions with other WhoDats. It just happened to be an Abita TurboDog. When I created my account here, that became my screen name. I've honestly regretted that it wasn't something more related to the team, but c'est la vie.

I'm not as active as I was in the early days, I read more than I write. This has been such a better environment than that other site! Props to everyone involved in running B&G. And thanks to all those who have agreed, disagreed, argued, cried, laughed, mourned, and celebrated with me here in our virtual gathering spot.

You had me at unicorn milk and you closed the deal with Abita TurboDog...

I think Turbo Dog is a great Saints-related name. Makes perfect sense to me.
