[Aaron]

I just used my name. Guess I'm just boring.

 

[WarmBeer]

From an old Tom Waits song. Been using it for about 6 years round and about.

However I've found it very appropriate for this forum. :chug:

 

[MVZOOM]

:huh:

It wasn't fast in a straight line, but could pull big 'g's on a skidpan! B)

Must have been an HQ, 202, 3-on-the-tree with 165/75/14 tyres

 

[microbe]

My name is Michael Rowe.

Shortened to Mike Rowe - again to micro, but five characters is too short for the free online email I was using at the time I signed up for AHB so added a couple of letters to make it beer related.

Cheers,

microbe

 

[Thommo]

Surname is Thompson.

Mad keen Blackburn Rovers supporter, hence the Avatar.

[GMK]

GMK = Grand Master Kenny.

bestowed upon my a very long time ago by my First Beer brewing Apprentice - Padewin Zac...
He found the site and when i joined - i need a nic - so GMK it was.

I thought of the "Nights of NIC" 1st - but settled on GMK

And now everyone knows you as the rice gulls bloke !

 

[flattop]

Funny thing for me is i am a GrantW but there is already one here... anyhow flattop has been my nic for years... although some call me curly.

Forgot about the avatar, it's a gargoyle off a church in Munich, i went there a while back and drank lots of beer.
The thing i like about gargoyles is they vomit water when it rains (medieval downpipes).

 

[ausdb]

I've been known as db since I was a kid, its my first two initials and years ago when I signed up to some american forum db was already taken, so considering I'm an aussie I went for ausdb and its just stuck from there, plus when I joined here there was already a deebee.
My avatar is my "brewmunchkin" nephew who loves to help out on brewdays when he visits.

 

[Batz]

I found it on one of my beer labels one night and thought,that'll do.




Actually it's a nick I had in primary school,comes from my family name.

Batz

 

[mouapp12]

i always find nicknames interesting

i wrote a program that generates random letters and i used a batch that looked a bit like a word then through it in google to make sure no one else was using it, almost everything that comes up now is me

the pic is my bass, i customized the paint job with a gulf club and a box cutter :blink:

And do you know how many people have sighned up here and thought they were actually called Rice Gulls...... to the point of going into the local HBS and asking for them.

 

[mikeintmba]

My name is Michael and I do like beer. Pretty easy really.

 

[Mantis]

I am 6'3" and was shearing a very small lamb one day in a shed over in SA. The boss of the board walked over and said, "allan, you look like a praying mantis eating a fly". Needless to say the nick stuck, so have been mantis to those guys ever since.

So when I started interneting I decided on mantis.

:icon_cheers:

 

[Ginger NZ]

I'm a rustynuts and I'm based in NZ at the moment.

Fascinating huh?

My dog is a Boston Terrier, Frank, that's him in the avatar.

lucky that firmenters and firminters sounds close to what you might be asking for.

luv the rice gulls. I'm happy to use the term at my lhbs. He always has a giggle, although it may be malicious. :lol:

Oh, me? My story??? Was gonna go by Teninchtongue, for which my brewery (such as it is) is named, but it wasn't relevant here. I had a vague recollection of someone on a brew forum named Weizguy. Ran a google to see if there any chance of confusion. I figured it was cool to share a nickname (if necessary). Haven't googled it for a while, but I'm pretty sure that it's unique, 'specially in Oz.
After a bit of pressure from some veteran brewers (you know who you are - Ray M and Barry C), I decided to add the "Les the" bit. Thanks to Doc for the upgrade. Never looked back. More exposure. More respect when it's earned.

Love the wheat beer (although I see Witbier as more of a spice/adjunct beer, than a wheat). BYO flame suit, I never wear one.
German wheats, paler ones more in the early daze. As my tastebuds mature, I tend to favour the darker (and sometimes stronger) wheat ales/ wheat wines.
I could go on.

Les out

 

[user 4286]

I was listening to a lot of Custard back in the mid 90's when I needed a nickname for something. Just picked a song title off one of their CDs. Nothing to do with cans of goo.

 

[beers]

I got lazy & just used my nickname.. which just happens to be my Surname - Beers

 

[hoohaaman]

Mum and Dad had a strange sense of humour.

 

[Brewtus]

Best name I could think of at the time that could be mis-spelt to make a brewing reference that was still free. The avatar is just something I found via google. I like the name and now use it in other places.

 

[THE DRUNK ARAB]

Family of Middle Eastern extraction and I like a drink. Actually given to me by Grumpy Thomas (tdh) when he was working there.
As for the avatar, hmmm..."I'm free" :lol:

[hoohaaman]

mr Humphries are you free?

 

[sponge]

Well, its a nickname ive had since i turned 18....

most people think its because if my big curly hairy, but its actually to do with my drinking and eating habits. for as long as ive known my dad has always finished off peoples meals as he believed that wasting food was bad. so i sortve took that on, but also did it with drinks as well. say my mates had half a beer they didnt want, id drink it because i was so used to doing that and also because i was really poor... (finishing year 12, no job, just turned 18 etc etc). one night at the pub my mate called me a sponge, and it has stuck ever since.

to this day if they ever need a meal or drink to be finished theyll just pass it down to me without asking.

as for the picture... i don't know, i enjoy cleaning...
