Dukestreetking Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 My call sign in Iz and Afg (elsewhere it was AnvilMike6...too hard to explain). Anyway, comes from "Backstreets"... Where desperate lovers park they sat with the last of the Dukestreet Kings. I hadn't been able to follow a full season since 2001 as I was always somewhere else, so to speak. As soon as I knew that part of life was over, I joined the board in Oct 2019 but kept the call sign to remind me of the fallen. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 My “real” name is Bill. How BuffaloBill was still available on a Bills board by the time I joined remains a “huh” moment for me. 1 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difficult thing is that there are three of us in the family. I am a Jr., and my nephew is named Bill after his paternal grandfather. (Sadly, he is an Eagles fan and to beat all his father likes the Dolfarts. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talley56 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I am not a big Darry Talley fan. I just wanted to choose a name of someone who maybe isn't one of the first players who comes to mind when you think of Bills greats. It's just one of may ways of being different from everyone else. Heck, I even have a Donte Whitner jersey. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomper Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 1967 Rolling Stones song. Very psychedelic. Band hates the album but it has some hidden gems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 About 30 years ago I was running a mens softball team at work, and the guys called me papa Joe because I took care of everything. But then one guy said I should be pasta Joe because I could eat so much pizza. So the name stuck even though I’m not Italian. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked at that quickly, and read it as mensa softball team. 0 and 20, but their calculation of the trajectories of opponents' hits were mathematically perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debra Deb, Joseph Joe... It's a vernacular thing from Old Europe Where it was trendy to replace one letter of a name.. and rhyme it Richard became Rick for short.. Rick became dick William, became will.. they replaced the w with a b So will, became bill Edited December 31, 2021 by Buffalo716 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GETTOTHE50 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) My best friend and I were playing nuketown on call of duty about 15 years ago, and for those who don’t know, nuketown is one of the more chaotic and intense maps in the game. anyways, this guy on our team kept screaming ‘GET TO THE 50’ during his rage. (We think it meant to get to the middle of the map) my friend and I were dying in laughter the whole time; and now we use it as a motivational slogan to never quit and do whatever it takes. I also thought it was proper for a message board name haha Edited December 31, 2021 by GETTOTHE50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
