Just wondering how you picked yours.

I've thought mermaids were the neatest things ever since I was a little girl so this was an easy one for me. :biggrin:

I figure my house (and I) can easily wash away, just like the sandcastles I built when I was a kid. It was a spur-of-the-moment choice. Here today, gone tomorrow. :biggrin:

The short version of my screen name is I am starting to build some websites so I needed to come up with a business name. Savvy Tangerine Productions was born. I really like how it sounds so I've been using it for most everything these days.

Beach Bimmer:​
Beach because we lived on Panama City Beach at the time we bought Fired Up Paint-Your-Own-Pottery in Seaside.

Bimmer because since 1999 we've owned 5 pre-loved BMW cars, which collectors affectionately call "Bimmers".

To bring things up to date since this thread was first posted, we just finished moving to Blue Mountain Beach, right on the lake... :D *

..and we currently have a silver M3, one of the fastest of the family... :biggrin:


* can't believe we were able to keep this quiet since Christmas, and only Cork knew our SoWal secret!

Scooterbug is from Mom's nickname for me - I was a scrawny kid w/ long arms & legs and she thought that when I swam the breaststroke I looked like a waterbug scooting across the water.

44 is the number for the sailboat that I grew up racing - all boats are identified by letters and numbers on the sails. Letters tell you which body of water/sailing club and numbers identify individual boats. My initials match the lake letters so it was simpler to just label everything w/ both my initials and #.

Because it does! It also comes from a movie called "Better off dead" I think? There was a family called the Odouls and they would say "Odouls Rule!" Must have seen it before I signed up for this lurkfest!:cool:

Thanks, I felt sure there was one somewhere. I will definitely read it. :clap: And yes in true SoWal fashion, it got way off track.

But I did not see yours Tootsie, or Skunkape, or PV, or Savvytangerine, so come on yall share.

Mine is easy, my favorite Disney Character is Minnie by childhood nickname was Charlie. But much prefer Minnie.

mine is a boring answer. its my real nickname since I was born.

The origin behind "potatovixen" isn't nearly as exciting as you would imagine.

I always sat next to my friend Charles during lunch in high school. I stole his french fries all the time and he was always devising planns to keep me from getting them. Every time I stole a fry, thus foiling his plans, he'd yell, "Ah, the Potato Vixen strikes again!"

yes, but tell them your nickname around here, or shall I?

spudslut:lol:

Dear Minnie:

I'm from the North end of Hall County, Georgia, and NoHall rhymes with SoWal.

The End...unless you want to know where Noitall, HoHall, and ROhipNall came from, and you'll have to ask the wenches about that.

you forgot nuthall. or I like nuthull. nutball. nutwall. nuthawl. noball.:lol: possibilities endless here...

Mine is an email address that I used back when my son played high school football. New parents at games always knew the other kids by number, before they knew their names. They'd ask who I was cheering for. Drew wore #72. I was cheering for 72.

"ODOYLE RULES!"

Oh my gosh... I love Better Off Dead. I have had a crush on John Cusack for pretty much my entire life. (That movie is actually one year older than I am.)

My story is boring, and not really a story. Kase (pronounced like suitCASE) is short for KC. 6-2-6 are Stitch's experiment numbers in Lilo & Stitch, which i saw right before creating this screenname, and I couldn't think of anything else.:lol:

  1. I still have a crush on John Cusack
  2. You can't have a crush on John Cusack if you're only a hear younger than Better Off Dead. :whack:


(love you! mean it!)

My grandfather who is now 100 asked me at a house party once why my good friend who sang at my wedding was still single. I said "he's gay grandpa." He then said "well yes, he always seemed like a happy likeable fella" :lol:

Mine's the name of the band that plays live shows in my head. Plus, August is one of my favourite months and I like to look at life like a giant vehicle going nameless places.

My friend hated it when I made it up until his favourite band came out with an album called "Everything in Transit" and he had to concede that it was at least most of the way cool, :biggrin:.

ODOYLE! I knew someone here would know the correct name. For me it was the Camaro not the Cusack:cool:
