I Need A New Handle!!

[derrek]

OK folks, here's the thing. Back when I made my first post to WC, it asked for my "name". Being new to this whole thing, I put in my first name, and off I went.

But...as I started reading the posts and responses (I'm now up to several times a day - LOL), so many of you have great handles, which are known by everyone who frequents the board.

Out of consistency, I stuck with my name, but no more. I want my own handle.

So... I need your help in picking one. If you've got a suggestion, funny, serious or otherwise, let's hear it. If you need some personal info to help your creativity - ask.

The winner gets a case of beer from me the next time he passes through Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on the way to a fishing trip.

Thanks,

derrek (for now)

How about "Saskatoon Guy" ????

I don't think that one is taken!

Why not leave it your real name. I have always thought the handles were silly. If your name is Derrek, leave it at that. Why do we have to make up something?

somebody lacks creativity!! ;-)

[Swirlie]

Seeing has how I'll probably be through Saskatoon in the near future (Folk-Fest) I'll throw my 2 cents in..

Weed Whacker

That'll be a 12 case of Pil, bottles, not cans... <GRIN>

Wantoon makes sense to me -- of course there's the old joke about the guy who had "swan" tatooed on a certain part of his....

I better not go there.

[Cangl]

Watch you ask for it just might! and not what you planned on. In the confusion of filling out the Email address once and then again, I know of a fellow angler after some rejections (most of the good ones are taken) came up with fishlips. Entered that and when it asked for his name he inadvertently entered his first name! He does't email much after all that frustration and end result. Fishlips you out there buddy? Never mind I'll call.

[derrek]

Swirlie: Good to know you're still around. Haven't heard much from you lately. I'm gonna be at LOTP before the end of August.
Any info/tips for locations, lures for this time of year? How green will it be? As for the 12 Pil - if you win, I'm buyin', so why not choose something good??

Everyone else: Thanks for your input on my new name. No final decision has been made yet, so it's not too late to add your choice. I will let everyone know of my decision as soon as I know what it is.

A Texan, a Canadian, and a guy from Michigan are out riding horses. The Texan pulls out an expensive bottle of whiskey,
takes a shot, then another, and suddenly throws the bottle in the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the bottle in mid air. The
Canadian looks at him and says, "What are you doing?! That was a perfectly good bottle of whiskey!" The Texan says, "In
Texas, there's plenty of whiskey and bottles are cheap."

A while later, not wanting to be outdone, the Canadian pulls out a bottle of champagne, takes a few sips, throws the bottle in
the air, pulls out his gun and shoots it. The guy from Michigan can't believe this and says, "What did you do that for? That was
an expensive bottle of Champagne!" The Canadian says "In Canada there's plenty of Champagne and bottles are cheap."

So a while later the guy from Michigan pulls out a bottle of beer. He opens it, takes a sip, takes another sip, and then chugs the rest. He then puts the bottle back in his saddlebag, pulls out his gun, turns around and shoots the Canadian.The Texan, shocked, says, "Why did you do that?" The guy from Michigan says, "Well, in Michigan, we have plenty of Canadians, but bottles are worth a dime."

NO OFFENSE INTENDED DERREK.

But it should really come from you. Nicknames from your buds, your favorite past time, favorite car, beverage, boat, sport, etc.

Keep thinking and you will find one that fits. Cinderfella!

Now I know why all these kids that come to Windsor to booze on the weekends dont tip. They are all cheap skates from Michigan.

No offence Bill W.

Hey war-n-peace, here's one back at ya:

A Canadian is down in the States duck hunting with a couple of American buddies. On their way back to camp after a good day's shoot, they are stopped by a CO. After a brief conversation, the American CO develops a disliking to the wise-cracking Canadian, and decides to make his life miserable.

"Are these your ducks?", he asks. "Yup", replies the Canadian.

The CO grabs one duck, sticks his finger up its a**, sniffs his finger and says "You know, this is an Oregon duck, and it's illegal to shoot them without an Oregon license." The Canadian shrugs and pulls out an Oregon license, and hands it to the CO.

The CO, his face reddening, grabs another duck, again sticks his finger up its a**, sniffs it and says, "This here duck is from South Dakota. It's a very serious offence to kill this duck without the proper license." Calmly, the Canadian reaches into his pocket, and pulls out a South Dakota license, and hands it to the CO.

The CO tries another duck, again sticking his finger up it's a**, this time declaring it to be from Alaska, and once again, the Canadian produces the required license.

The CO is furious by this time, and shouts at the Canadian "You must think you're a pretty smart boy, just where are you from anyway?"

Calmly the Canadian pulls down his jeans, bends over and says "Why don't you tell me?"

All the best,

I agree with Aquaman. Pick your own handle based on your own favorites lures, rods, boats, tactics, species, etc. We can't blindly volunteer a name to stick on you if we haven't fished, hunted, or partied with you. If you have waited this long to get an innovative handle, you can wait until you get just the right one.

"Iceman" sounds cool though.

[Swirlie]

I was home and never even ventured out to tell you the truth... it was hotter than Hades out there (30 + degrees just about every day, 90% humidity and some NASTY storms - an inch and three-qurters of rain in 25 minutes sound inviting to you? Well.. maybe in S'toon)... as a shore fisherman, there was no way I could get deep enough. My understanding is that they have been catching in 18 - 25 feet of water (? could be an old report I have stuck in my head) on bottom bouncers and spinners/leeches. Algae bloom is usually pretty thick up there... now I wish I would have gone out. I have a buddy whose father has a cabin out there and fishes almost every day - I'll see what I can dig up for you.

Swirlie.

[riverrunner]

Sorry, I like bad fingers, how about your bigest eye or what you consider a mounting trophy ie. 12#sask-watch.I'm hopping in the lund now from the detroit river, should be there in a couple weeks, give or take a couple weeks.

Do like Don and I - keep your real name Derrek!
Afterall, it looks original to me with all the other silly handles out there. ;-)

[Cangl]

This Michigander might of shot that Canadien just for his beer!Its hotter then #### here now and those big waters stack up the humidity, had to by more mosquito dope. A Canadien beer SURE SOUNDS GOOD RIGHT NOW.

[Gumbo]

Name/state

First I was gumby, then I gradudated to Gunga Din, and recently I reverted to the standard.

[Kevin]

Coldwater Derreck? Then you get to keep your name so people recognize you=)

"Toon" or you can personalize it "Dtoon".

[Bottomfeeder]

Hey derrek, for a case of beer you can have bottomfeeder. Heck, for a Pepsi you can have it.

Just a few thoughts.

I am with the creative crowd, handles portray some personality. Nothing wrong with using your name either, just that since my name is Mike, there are way too many of me!! :)
