Screen name

Featured Replies

Ok, after numerous requests that my screen name sounds like, "Armed with Bananas" or "Armed AND Bananas" which sounds like someone about to go postal...I have decided to go back to my original screen name.

 

Basically, Aruba is my favorite vacation spot to be. Been there several times. Armed is more for my tattoo than me carrying a weapon.

 

Lets hear a little background about your screen name AND why or if you have changed it.......

Well, almost 39 year ago a baby was born into this world and they decided to call her..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wait for it.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Colleen!

Sorry, wish I had a little more originality and could come up with a snazzy name  :D  

A golfer who is generally not very good - but who suddenly plays better in competition is known as a bandit.....

 

I like to get my retaliation in first ;)

That is an awesome backstory Colleen. Really.

I think she's just being modest.  No way is it that simple. :D

Yes, this doesn't seem very "Colleen-esque"

 

Too cut and dry.

 

Something missing here.......

Sorry but I did like the Banana bit better, still chuckling about it now............

Because my real name of Martine confuses folk, they're expecting some lilt of french/european and you should see their poor faces when a west London Cockney happens...it just all goes downhill.  Not a posh european!

Now what will you throw at all of us monkeys when we get out of hand?  :)

Ah Martine, ma petite choux. On continue en francais? La langue de l'amour....

 

Or

 

All right luv? Fancy a curry?

This is sorta embarrassing but we all have our low points...

 

Far, far. ago and long, long away I found myself in a political thought universe of idiocy. How I got there from being a SoCal beach bum is some sort of high weirdness, but It occurred to me that I had become a rabid right winger... to the point of being pissed off at anyone who interrupted me during the Rush Limbaugh program. I shit you not, I was waving a little paper flag I printed off and glued to a chopstick during The Shrub's first state of the union speech. I'd wave and say Yea! every time he said 'murica.

 

Then the Towers came down and the chatter on the internet started and some right wing radio show laughed at the absurdity of "controlled demolition" and I screwed up and looked into it. And there it was, the baby had just been born and the talking heads just looked fatter and fatter and sounded dumber and dumber.  I knew I had a problem and need help to quit "republican". So Iwent to the site that The Fat One ridiculed - Democrat Underground, Howard Stern etc. I didn't necessarily begin to agree with them but I was pulled out of my stupor and began to think clearly.

 

I had to have a user name to post on those leftie sites so what could be the complete opposite of all the wholesome white right holds dear? Reagan's Evil Empire. Okay... there's Comrade but Comrade what?  Googled bloody vicious revolution and found articles on the Simba Rebellion. Perfect. Commie militant black coming after your way of life. Comrade Simba!

 

After awhile I put the political crap aside as nothing more than a Red Herring diversion and we also got the hell out of the city so our son could be raised outside of the 125 mph statistical headwinds that have turned an entire generation into I-zombies. I got into online homestead and shtf style communities and decapitalized into just comrade simba. It's an archie the roach thing, insignificant but having something important to say now and then.

Self explanatory, I play the bass guitar and I bass fish. So it fits just looking at the name either way, but to say it is for the bass guitar.

 

I learned the 6 string guitar first, but they were a dime a dozen and cheaper to find to play in bands.

 

Bass players weren't as plentiful and found it easier to play in bands. No one tells me how to play so if they wanted me to play a certain way, I'd leave and go find another band......

 

Why did I like playing in bands.............for the girls silly..........................Bassman

Sometimes I go from being amused at people and their actions and sometimes just thinking WTF and and then say that I am "baffled".   Just stuck.  

Beacon is a spoiled tuxedo kitty found by a smoker outside her work one day.

Generally when I want something to happen, I make it happen.

 

Plus Carl Weathers is a badass in Action Jackson that also happens to be the best film on the planet lol

My names Gemma, some people call me Gemsey..I changed it to Gemzee & pretty much used it as my screen name since I got the Internet! :D

Simba that story moves so fast my head is spinning. Are you a right wing or communist. I got lost

 

Rocket surgeon. I was hoping for a Mexican story

 

Armed confuses me too cause I keep making you a mercenary when you are a yinzer

 

Colleen is just an egg. Pretty simple

 

Jenny, couple jennies so not sure which one

 

Gem Petra action. Beacon baffled All ok. You didn't lose me

 

My name is just a reference to job but misspelled because I wanted it on my motorcycle and it was already taken. Buddy saw a cop car on side of business when we were drinking at a bike week. He says "look they even got bacon on the side" we were out too late and looking for breakfast place. But it's hard to sneak around half kicked in the ass at 2 am on Harley's and we can't get the red light to trip cause bikes won't hit sensor. And 2 other cops already got car pulled in lot. But one was tucked over on side and he was bacon on the side. Funny but we had to be serious like church just let out a late night revival

Should be assman if it wasn't for the fishn part

Well Bakon...

 

The Rocket Surgeon was on vacation in Mexico when on Sunday night he finished a little book by a guy called Allen Carr.

 

Then he smoked a cigarette, put his half empty packet under the packet of La Bandita and went to bed.

 

After Breakfast the following morning, we went to the terrace for our morning Espresso and cigarette, and La Bandita asked "Quit now? Why not wait until we get home?"

 

I told her that I was done smoking, nothing to worry about.

 

Gracias Mexico!

Flipped name around and laugh at people who call me Leah. It's for cheap lame entertainment.

I like peanut butter and jelly, thinking of change.

I like peanut butter and jelly, thinking of change.

PB&J with a side of Bakon?

I like Armed With Bananas

I like HAT's letters, phonetically are Hotel Alpha Tango
