I noticed that all the new members who signed up recently signed up under fake names like "the truth." I thought we had to use our real names?

Guess you thought wrong.

ABC

Amorette: You mean that you are not the one using "sugarcookie" as an alias?

"Amorette" is a real name? I always thought it meant almond latte.

I'm gonna keep posting using this alias and let that Neumann guy take the heat for what I say.

Do you not have something better to do than pick on someone's sign in name? I always use the same name anywhere I post, and so that is what I use. It's just easier for me to remember. Why does it matter, really?

SUGERCOOKIE you are really going to hate it here if you cant take a little ribbing about stuff.

I usually go by sweetbuns4u

I make delicious sweet buns.

I would think the easiest name to remember would be your actual name??

On the topic of annonymity, why do people "fuzz out" their license plate numbers in photos? What is that "protecting" them from??

MULE TRAIN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

COUSIN OF SOD BUSTER>>>>>>>>>>>>

UNCLE OF DEER SLAYER>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

what we really need is a "dirt bird" Where you at Brown-eye????

So, if we have to use our real names would Deer Slayer not be Wild Grazing Ungulate Murderer or Sod Buster - Virgin Soil Plower?

When I first joined, I considered "Raging Stallion" and "Thor" but those names didn't seem, well, big enough for me, so I just settled for Big Dave.

I still miss the BigDryBug....

I liked the bug....

But the Chipmunk Ninja was my personal favorite.

franks-n-beans was an interesting character to say the least! I wonder if he's hanging out with Richard Butler in Idaho someplace.

I miss the `Munk too - wonder what she's up to?

Richard Butler died. The compound is no longer, who knows where he is.

It protects them from I.D. theft!

One of the wonderful things about the internet is you don't have to be who you really are. I currently have a profile on myspace where I pretend to be Elmo

The only reason I used my real name is because no one knows me anyway!

That's why I never had to make up a fake name. Who on earth is really named "Amorette?" (I left the off the original post by mistake and it made me sound mad without it. I was just amused by someone making up the name "The Truth." Who is going to be "The Dare?")

It means--Amorette that is-- little love. . A nun who was around when I was born lo' those many years ago, was horrified that my father would name me that because in Belgium (I think that is where she was from) an "amorette" is a mistress.

In Italian art, amoretti are like putti, cherub or Cupid like figures. Can you "misnomer?"

Heeheeheeheeheeheee.

So, I wasn't that far off?

And I pulled that out of my arse. Sometimes, my genius even impresses me.

I knew a Jess Bradley....

funny 'cause I knew a Jess Bradley too...ran in a circle with John B. and Polak whose name last name started with a G.

who is marley?

I'm going to do this and take all the abuse that comes with it. How can you be out on the range and not use your real name?

GREAT POINT!

Because being out in Miles City is about as safe as being out on Brokeback Mountain.

If I were gay, I wouldn't broadcast it to the planet. Who I sleep or cavort with is my business and only mine.

I know out on the range, and know that 'it' (as I won't define gender) has been subject to much malicious gossip in the past, and doesn't want any more negative attention. Especially not from people who are going to point fingers.

Thank you "LG"!!!

Out on the Range is a group. (Therefore calling us "it" was appropriate, LG.) The reason we meet as a group is so that we can hang out, be ourselves, and meet other people in the GLBT (gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, and trans-gender/transitional) community. At our meetings, we can feel comfortable enough to let our guards down without having to worry about being judged or discriminated against.

Yes, the hope would be that someday we could all be "OUT on the range" without anyone feeling there is a need for such a group. However, not everyone who attends our meetings is "out"- we like LG's Brokeback Mountain reference! So until the time comes when we all do feel safe, we meet to remind ourselves that we are not alone. and we post on here for a couple of reasons.

>>It gets the word out to people who may want to attend our meetings so they can check out our website http://glbtmilescity.blogspot.com

>>It lets the community know we are here without "OUTing" our attendees and allows the topic of GLBTs in Montana to be discussed in an open, nonthreatening setting. Without talking openly, we cannot hope to overcome things like ignorance, fear, and intolerance.

So keep talking about us, Chuck, even if it is negative. Because we have nothing bad to say about anyone, (except perhaps that, we dislike the three character traits listed above) and your narrow views serve as proof to us that we are needed in Miles City!

It.

I knew I'd take crap about the observation so have at it ....it. I guess a GBLT float in the BHS parade would have been a really bad idea then.

[This message has been edited by Chuck Schott (edited 5/11/2008).]

How sad. It is unfortunate that a GLBT float in the BHS parade is considered a bad idea. I'm sure Out on the Range is more than welcome to participate in the parade...but I think we can all imagine how it would turn out.

I wasn't going to do this, but what the hell I like a fight. Out on the range states "...your narrow views serve as proof..." when in reality he/she/they have NO IDEA what my views are. I was making an observation about the irony of posting anonymously while using "out on the range" as an identity. In most every post "out on the range" is posting as an individual. Words like I and me are used in many posts and appear to be one persons opinions.

If "out on the range" and MC.com are looking for a token homophobe to bitch at I guess I can be it. This however will come as a surprise to all the gay and lesbian friends I have made in Billings over the last twenty years.

May I suggest that "out on the range" be used for posting of an organizational nature and whoever is posting personally under that identity get he/she another secret name for personal postings.

Also one note to all lets stop taking ourselves so seriously, I do this for the fun of it.

Don't these guys all work for Click 'n' Clack, the Tappit Bros.?

Hal, Where you scared to use the ever popular Ben Dover?

SOB!!!!! You set me up for that didn't you Hal.

I'm developing a fondness for Cy Kosis - I might have to download the paper work for a legal name change.

Here are some actual people with odd names:

NASCAR Driver - Dick Trickle

New Hampshire Politician - Dick Swett

Green Bay Packer Linebacker - Mike Hunt

Among others:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Hunt

Best ever:

Heywood Jablowme

And I thought I was in trouble with Ben Dover.

I was content to just go with "Lee Nover" and leave it at that.

Hal,

It appears that between me, you and old Haywood we have effectively shut down this thread. So I'm on my way to piss off the people who think 250K is to much for a bathroom. And if that doesn't work I going to shoot for the people who think 250k is a reasonable price for a bathroom. Everyone needs a hobby.

I had intended to kill it several posts ago when I posted that list of names. But I guess I'm losing my touch. Time was I knew how to shut a thread down:
http://milescity.com/foru...4359#16089

This should end the thread.
I have known Chuck for more years than I want to think about and he is not a homophob or predjudice. No matter what your leanings are if you have an interesting conversation for him or tell a good joke, he will make time for you.
Of course he has a few things on me so I pretty much have to say good things about him. Leif

Yeah, I've been friends with Chuck since the 2nd or 3rd grade and I have to agree . . . he'll yank your chain if you give him half a chance.

I missed one when I listed the aliases above - how `bout "Buck Schott"? ;-)

That's what they call me in the streets.

>> That's what they call me in the streets.

Ah . . . well it seems as good a nome d'asphalt as any.

I had wondered if you used your real name all the time. I'm sure there times when it's advantages to be known as someone other than Buck Showalter.

I use Neander for my email accounts, but I suspect most everyone sees through that. So it's probably not very effective in maintaining my anonymity.

Sheik Yerbouti

Can I get a HI-YAH?

CHIPMUNK NINJA

HI-YAH!

*assumes karate pose* *executes the crane kick*

OK, I'm tired now.


Nice to see you, buddy!

Heya Munk . . . welcome back.
= = = = = =


I was listening to a program on the radio last night, one of the production staff was Monty Carlos (he certainly has cruel parents).

Just been crouching in the shadows, jumping from roof top to roof top, started a chipmunk ninja school... you'll probably see some of my students running through the streets, don't worry about them dodging your cars if you're driving (it's part of their training). Living the life of a ninja, you come and go as you please. No telling how long I'll stick around this time...

Hi-Yah!

Chipmunk Ninja

I was just looking for the end so i could post 'where's chipmunk ninja when you need him!'

'I miss the `Munk too - wonder what she's up to?'

SHE'S???

The Chipmunk Ninja's I am familiar with have been of the male idenity. But they are masked figures....

It is just suspicious that it is identified above as a she...maybe to fool us? Does Hal know the true identity of the 'MUNK?

...Is the Chipmunk Ninja a relation to the Ninja Turtles?

I believe many have pondered who the Ninja is. Very few are privy to that info. Just as well. That way the ninja's double edged sword can stay sharp on both sides.

If you are ever curious as to my whereabouts... (just look behind you!)

Haha, you surely didn't expect to see me, did you? I could be anywhere and everywhere! I could be in that bush or tree, even in that crumpled up piece of paper on your floor next to the trash!

(You know when you think you see something out of the corner of your eye and when you look back there's nothing? Yeah... It wasn't me you saw, it was the other ninja that was following you that I just killed!)

Hi-Yah

Chipmunk Ninja

I thought that was a cockroach, but now I know it was you.

GJ is just my initials... big deal. not hiding anything at all.

Than spell out the name.

OK, in the category "Amazing Real Names", I nominate the following:

A urologist in Austin, TX known for his skill in performing vasectomies.

His name: Dr. Richard Chopp(and yes, he does go by the name "Dick")

For doubting thomases, check this website out:

FYI, you can delete the "This message has been edited by ..." (at the bottom) whenever you edit a message ... so a whole bunch of them don't pile up.

A good reason to use a fake name: Bad prison pictures.
I was having a bad hair day when mine were taken.
