It's my email name. How did it become my email name you ask? My sister and I were trying to think up email names but everything was taken. We tried for 30 minutes or so and I finally said in frustration and with a weak attempt at humor, "You be Shesallthat and I'll be Andabigmac".
She's all that and a big mac, lame, I know.
Well, Shesallthat was taken but Andabigmac wasn't. And right then and there, a really lame email name and consequentially, screen name was born.

Mine is for my kids and the LaMancha dairy goats they raised for FFA. Funny thing is though, kids are all grown and it's been 10 years since I had a LaMancha here.

Tojo was a nickname I got as a baby-a combination of my first and middle names. 66 is my birth year-don't go doing the math now, ya hear?

I was born and raised in Iowa, and always hated winter. When I moved to Texas, and refused to come "home", I told my family that I was no eskimo. I have lived in Texas now almost 30 years and even my grandkids are noeskimos.

I'm a chick from the Lone Star state, & the day of my birth is 23

Noeskimo........I had wondered about your name! When you replied to my CL ad back in February/March I thought you might be this hilarious car salesman my hubby & I met once......

He was half senile, in his early 80's & was griping about some hispanics putting their last name in huge lettering on back wind shields.......He was quite outrageous, racist & far from politically correct......Sounds offensive but the drama & flare that he ranted about the window lettering was hilarious.....Then out of no where he whispers "be wary of the eskimos" & with a grave face, grabbed hubby's shoulders & says "The young hispanics may put troublesome, gaudy letters on cars but those eskimos are the worst........living in ice ain't natural & I simply can't tell you what THEY do to cars....no sir, not in front of the lady here"

Then he just walked off.......You had to be there to get the humor, but I find it hard to believe he even met enough eskimos in west Texas to have an issue with them

Anywho, when you replied to my ad it showed up as "noeskimo" & hubby begged me to just have you call & meet in person just in case you were the car salesman

My dad-God rest his soul, was a Iowa car salesman, and he was (literally) cukoo's nest crazy. So does that count?

I've been using Wags since I first got on-line back in '96 when the first forum I ever ventured into was a dog one it just seemed appropriate. It is a nickname my dh's highschool track coach called him and a play on our last name. I got so used to being "Wags" that when it came time to pick a herd name the only thing that made since was Wags.

DH called me Gracie for a while (it's really Amy, but there are way too many Amys out there) and I had to add numbers for my email address (apparently there are too many Gracies as well) and 88 fit nicely on the end.

Ranger was the name of one of my tracking dogs, a Bloodhound, that I used to do search and rescue. There are many others, but I've used his name for years.

It is also my VHF call sign. Whenever I need to think something out, vent, or relax I find a tree that looks lonely and have a talk with it. Sounds crazy but it works for me. Trees are smarter than most people. They listen and shaddup.

Mine's a combination of two dog's names, and the fact that we've seen several bears here on the farm:

Bear:
How did you pick your screen name? - Goats

and Bigfoot:
How did you pick your screen name? - Goats

And it makes a good sign too:

How did you pick your screen name? - Goats

...well, back when I was under age drinking during the winter back in high school, I did what most other Midwestern country boys might do after drinkng some beers. I tried to spell my name in the snow. But I ran out of "ink in the well" before I could finish the last "e" or cross my "t" so my name became Slev.

We own 40 acres & were out in the middle of no where here in Michigan so Backfourty, Mi. just kinda fit. Now I often think it's a dumb screen name & maybe I should change it.
