    D69 and I were big Draft, CBA and trade geeks. When I first joined the now defunct HoopsWorld forum, Bob Whisitt was the GM. He was known as Trader Bob and some of my friends had referred to me as Trader Bob Jr when I went on a trade/salary cap/draft rant. TBJr seemed odd so TBpup it was. Most people think it stands for Trail Blazer pup which is kind of cool it worked out that way.

    Fuck the human side of this place - it's an internet forum. Meeting you people and having actual conversations makes it harder to be an asshole to you guys.

    Quit ruining my life. :cheers:

    My dad is the biggest asshole I know. If he were around right now, I'd tell him so.

    Moniker story part deux: A note on my old board name "Baracuda74" It came about the day after I had learned the riff from the Heart song Barracuda after watching the video on VH1. The next day I was at my friends house playing his guitar when his little sister called. He had just got the guitar so his little sister asked if it was him playing, and he replied, "no that's Barracuda!" So his whole family started calling me Barracuda after that. I worked with him, his brother, and his father, so people at my workplace started calling me Baracuda as well. I ended up spelling it wrong (with one r) the first time I used it for a board name (which may have been the Oregon Baseball Campaign website) so I just stuck with that.

    I got bored (pun unintended) of using Baracuda74 for everything so I first changed my Steam name to GriLtCheeZ, not even realizing the gaming culture tie in with "cheesers". Someone told me it was a cool gaming name so I started using it for other stuff. I once had the nickname "ass" but I decided against using that one.

    For no reason, I told an acquaintance in college to call me Speed. Once the internet came out, I used Speed as a username for different types of forums including O-Live. To be fun, I would then re-emerge as Speed's Mom, Speed's Dad, Speed's dog, Speed's piano teacher. Then one day, Speed got banned and I came back as KingSpeed. Then when KingSpeed was banned, I came back as KingSpeedForever. Consequently, I am KingSpeed here, my corporation name is KingSpeed Incorporated, and my current email address is Kingspeedforever@<censored>

    Not my choice,the Ambien Walrus chose it. Seriously I had no recollection of registering here until I saw the email confirmation the next day. It was our cats name. :dammit:

    FWIW I'd lurked here for sometime after the exodus from the other site, just hadn't gotten around to registering. I was Gunner over there.
