You have a brother named Larry and another brother named Darrell?

I knew there was a reason we were friends. That's the first thought that hit me too

[monkeylizard]

I was thinking about the Charles Barkley SNL skit where he's Darrell but Macgruber keeps calling him Da'rell

I actually feel your pain.  My last name is Tallent.  So whenever I meet someone new it is usually you must be talented...or what's your middle name...No   My response is usually the exact one you gave me.

I've always been fond of the CZ 52 pistol. I have a couple of them they really shoot great!

well it's that or Daryl Dixon... personally, I would align more with the Newhart crew. They were better actors.

[TGO David]

I'm not very imaginative. 

[Defender]

My career field in the USAF are called Defenders, and I thought that name also fit well with the reason I carry.

The Rock Band RUSH is one of my favorites, and they have a song called The Analog Kid. I'm an IT Engineer, working with computers every day. On that same album is a song named Digital Man, and you would think with my profession I would identify more with that song. However, even tho I work on Nerdy stuff, I'm definitely not a Nerd. I don't like video games, and once work is done, I turn of the tech. I'm into outdoor stuff, and am more happy when there is no electricity nearby. So, Analog Kid fits better

Take a guess

 

Because your last name is Waltrip?  Y'all spell "Darrell" the same.

[bersaguy]

I'm  fond of Bersa pistols and own several different models. My old shooting partner that passed away a few years back said one day that I was Bersa guy while we were at the range and it stuck and all I did was remove the space and it became Bersaguy !

When I got my first email on AOL, I tried and tried to find something unique but everything was already used. I finally put my initials and last name in backwards (A)nthony (B)riggs Evans and came up with snaveba.

Same for me, but not AOL. I wanted a Star Wars handle back in the early days of the Interwebz, but of course all the common characters were taken and I didn't want to be BobaFett3728 or Vader7561. I landed on monkeylizard as the first obscure SW thing I could find that wasn't already taken. It's what Jabba the Hutt's pet thing is.

That thing always irritated me in the movie. I always thought your avatar was a blown up Wile E Coyote.

My wife still uses the other one AOL generated for me. 

[expendable]

Been in aviation maintenance since the mid 80’s. 
It’s tuff being in this career field and not have lost a few jobs and had to move around the country. 
In aircraft maintenance circles a part that you use once and then throw away is an Expendable, I’ve felt that way more than once. 

[peejman]

It's a play on my name coined by a colleague at my first job out of college. 

[btq96r]

Initials of my nickname and the MOS of first and best job in the army.

[BigK]

My first name starts with a K and I'm anything but a little guy, so they started calling me Big K in HS.
