Having broken a few less bones than that guy who 'jumped' Snake River Canyon and Ceasars Palace Fountain I started using a Southern Slang for "These Old Bones" as my online handle.

First time I've seen this. The k is for Ken and the bareit is the correct pronunciation of my name.

My name follows "Tashtego", the Wampanoag harpooner from Martha's Vineyard in Moby Dick. I alternate with the names of other Harpooners, "Queequeg" and "Daggoo".
This affinity struck me years ago following a pod of Grey Whales outside the Golden Gate while sailing in my 25 foot lapstrake open cockpit sloop and wondering what it would be like to harpoon on of those big fellows.

B+W- That is 100% right on!
Pepe: One can wonder what it'd be like; no harm no foul. Does not mean the chap would do so, esp. with such references to Moby Dick. I've wondered all kinds of things that I wouldn't do, and would be aghast if anyone else did.
And he might be wondering mostly if his lapstrake sloop would hold together for a "Nantucket sleigh ride".

Nowadays everything requires a username and password to log in - so I try to keep it simple amongst all of them and used my last name and bday. If I don't I am liable to forget them.

My first ever forum was before a GUI screen, we used DOS and traveled across on a 90Kb circuit to a site called The Banjo-L a Listserver out of UCAL Berkeley. I had a few expensive banjoes id picked up and really didn’t know their true value and a couple of the folks on the site told me that it’s not the easiest thing to do but I could be located and it would be horrible were I to have my banjoes stolen and that I should consider a moniker. I stopped posting for 2 weeks and came on fresh with my new moniker fishnbanjo, it stood for the 2 things I really enjoyed in life since I was a child, fishing and the sound of thebanjo. I got called Fishn on the Banjo-L and later when the GUI structure of Windows 3.0 and modems for your PC came around I found a place called Clark’s Classic Fly Rod Forum. I became member 90 and in 2005 after running it since 1998 it grew to 1203 users and Clark had enough so he was going to pull the plug. Always one to keep history on things that excited me I showed Clark that the bamboo fly rod community and the classic tackle community would lose a valuable resource since from 1998-2005 5,000,000 visits had taken place, the site was mentioned in magazines and we got more non members than members reading the site daily. I asked if he’d give me the chance to run it for 3 months and if it didn’t meet the tone and passion that he began it for I’d pull the plug, he told me that would be fine but it can’t be called Clark’s Classic Fly Rod Forum, I agreed and took over the day I retired in 2005. After kidney failure, then finding the cause was Mantle Cell Lymphoma I spent a bit over 50 days in the hospital and when released started Chemotherapy, I ran the behind the scenes stuff on The Classic Fly Rod Forum from my hospital bed with my laptop. I kept running it until one day a bit over 6 years from taking the reigns I read, as I always do with something I’m going to post, and saw that if I posted that I’d break the number 1 rule of the forum and that was to be civil. Anger had come around due to frustration so I began in earnest to find a new caretaker to what I consider to be Clark’s legacy. We’d grown to 6000 members worldwide and had 65,000,000 visits since I took over. Today the site see’s in the neighborhood of 350k people per day, it’s been written about in nearly a dozen books, including mine,and is used by more people across the globe than any other site on Classic Tackle, we even have a good translation program. Oh and in case you were wondering my moniker was fishnbanjo but on the CFRF they called me banjo.
Was about to post this morning but I've been on the Classic Fly Rod Forum for about four hours now... really cool site bambooshank...

Joined my first pipe forum, years ago, as I sat and recovered from knee replacement. I felt like a goldbrick...never changed the name on the chance of running across some old friends.

I never contributed to this thread, so I will.
I have learned it is a term used in flying, but that is not why I picked it.
It is, by far, the best way I've found to smoke a pipe and cook a great many things. I also like to take consideration in what I am doing and my time doing things right. So as not to do them again. It is more of a methodology than a name. It also rhymes with Joe.

Wow, I've missed a lot. fadingdaylight is something I use everywhere, symbolizes a few things: dusk, my favorite time of day, death, in the passing into the dark sense, depression, which I have dealt with most of my life, but also balance, in a ridge-pole of the universe (the line where yin and yang meet) kinda way.
