Re: I was wondering how did you get your nicknames

The uncle after whom I was named was always known as JB. He died about the time my son, John Jr. was born.<br /><br />I didn't want my son to ever be called "Little John", and I wanted to honor my uncle, so I have been JB since then. That's 37 years now.

[Moose_Miller]

Re: I was wondering how did you get your nicknames

Miller would of course be my last name. 6'3" 290 lbs., along with the early 80's "big-hair" days; playing football, my hair would curl way up around the edges of my helmet, and look like "antlers"... "Moose" was then born. The town-folk still call me Moose to this day.

[Fishbusters]

Re: I was wondering how did you get your nicknames

About the time the movie Ghostbusters came out I was fishing while everyone else was doing other things. I had an intrest in the other things but untill i met my wife then we had kids my first love was fishing. I am prety good at it too. The guys started calling me Fishbuster and it pretty much stuck as a CB handle then e-mail address with the addition of an S as I had the wife and kids then. Peter is my first name and I put the two together when just Fishbuster will not take.
