How did you get your handle or user name?

One of my doctor buds was complaining about losing help. I told him about a girl I knew that would be a good fit. Her name was Fawn Dilmyballs. He said "Send her to the office for an interview". I couldn't stop laughing.
 
Well we have about 45 days to wait for the other shoe to drop.....
 
Pole Pole was picked on a Tanzania hunt in the Selous. It mean “slow and sure”. When I first heard it was my understanding that it meant “wise old man”. I chose it placing emphasis on “old”. A better handle would have been “mobit” (sp) which means “ready, let’s go” or something like that.
 
Many years ago, I had to choose the name of my mailbox. My last name was already taken. I was trying to find a word that wasn't very popular, but it was easy for me to remember it myself.
In one popular and beloved science fiction novel, the authors used Hungarian names for aliens. And the Hungarian language, no offense to Hungarians, is like nothing else. So I took the name of one village - it's spelled a little differently, but it's pronounced like my nickname. So I don't have any doppelgangers on the Internet, except for a small cardboard box company :).
And the avatar is an old Japanese engraving from the samurai series. I liked the look on this guy's face when shooting

For some reason that I can't remember, I had to change my user name and everything that I came up with using my name was taken, so the the suggestion on the computer said try using a family pet or hobby...hence " Yumastepside "...my dog and my vehicle at the time.
My avatar is from one of my favourite movies..

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
