How did you come up with your nym (name) and avatar?

[buteo]

we were younger when we started doing this I live thru the Rockefeller Drug Laws growing dope

they here in New York were handing out 1 year to life like it was candy for a roach in the

ashtray

the took down 70 plants in my backyard in 2022 and no one went to jail, no paper work

not long ago they would have taken my place

things have change a bunch in New York

Ive got over 15 years, things changed much sooner since i started. Other things didnt change. But we will stay in cannabis realm xD.

 

[flower~power]

Snapped this pic red tail long time ago. must’ve caught the birds attention staring right at me.. If you look up in the sky, & see a hawk around here it’s going to be a red tailed hawk (and surprisingly it’s not uncommon anymore to see a bald eagle in my area. )

 

[buteo]

You are right. You are going to end up convincing me to show everyone something.


Nice picture too!

This was edited from a polaroid when i was a teenager.

 

[laszlokovacs]

Funny how so many of these nyms are just amalgamations of random stuff in our lives when we signed up.

I was watching a movie and I kept getting distracted by my pathetic looking plant and it's sad chlorotic leaves (dont judge it was my first seedpop). The movie was Pierrot le Fou, typical old movie where guy is disillusioned with his life and gets out of dogde. Leaves his wife and kid for the hot babysitter, very french.

Anyway theres one scene where he keeps changing his name multiple times and one of the ones he uses was Laszlo Kovacs, and another part where theres some random dude named Laszlo Kovacs mentions hes exiled in France after being chased by the Americans. Name sounded cool and was stuck in my head so when I registered here a few hours later I picked it because it seemed like something with 0 connection to my real life persona. Its also an alias used in a couple Godard movies also with Belmondo I'm pretty sure. Now I guess I could post my full name and address here and it wouldn't fucking matter one bit since were legal here in NY.

The real Laszlo Kovacs was a really good cinematographer and did a couple of great movies. Easy Rider for one.

 

[Dr. Dank]

I was Dr. Skunkenstien on overgrow. When it and cannabis world went down I came here and that name was taken. I chose dank because I was stoned.

 

[giggy]

I started out as giggywatts a play on gigawatts, shortened up to giggy as I changed sites. Then I changed to evil clown to be able to go unknown but now everybody knows me as both. Still have a couple other names I use elsewhere.

 

[Mitsuharu]

DJ Mitsu The Beats, who is a great music producer and dj, was my inspiration.

[endgegner]

Endgegner means final boss in German. Hence, I took the Bowser picture.
In Germany you sometimes say Endgegner to somebody or something, that makes trouble (youth slang).

Martin Frost, one guy of the Darknet marketplace Wall Street Market once said:
"Das Finanzamt ist (der) Endgegner".

This means:
"The tax and revenue office (or IRS) is the final boss."

But I already said this before I heard the quote of this guy.

In Italian organized crime here in America, this is the term they use:

capo di tutti i capi

Essentially it means boss of all bosses.

For me, that is life with my wife Harley.

That's cool, fits really well to my name.

 

[FTL]

Will give this a bump it’s kinda fun. .....

I was watching “another life” A sci fi series and they were talking about the FTL drive and how it wasn’t fast enough to get where they needed to go haha. The spaceship is a similar one

 

[Hasch]

When registering here, I thought back to my humble beginnings as a user back in the 80s. What got me started on this vile moral eroding poison?

Some shoe sole like substance they called Hasch.

 

[aCBD]

I lurked some forums for decades, especially original OverGrow, but never registered because of security concerns and a little healthy paranoia.

Times have changed.

Fast forward, i finally made an account on IC because it was and is my #1 source for information.
Wanted a simple user name and Abc123 was one of them that came to my mind but i was also growing CBD Chronic at the time so somehow aCBD popped up.
It's a play with letters but also shows my love for CBD. I smoke more THC-rich strains tho.

My avatar is a sarcastic take on the "Needs more CalMag" but also resembles the law of minimum, which is important to keep in mind. Avatar taken from a manufacturer of nutritions.

[Old Piney]

my first home grown I was able to mature as a kid was supposedly Hawaiian it just finished in time here in NJ it grew long sweet sativa buds that smell just like pine but anyhow thats not why . My play ground for years is the NJ pine barrens, there is a old culture of folks that live there called pineys with all kinds of history and lour like the Jersey devil. they carved out a living picking blue berries ,making charcoal ,shellfishing and such . They play their own version of blue grass and there is a hall were they still play . It’s a dying culture not many left but I admire them and live in my favorite play ground . I was just gonna pick piney but someone has it so I dubbed my self old , not really too old Im 60 . My Avitar is a pic canoeing on one of the many small rivers

Grew up in Cherry Hill, bough a house near Berlin. Lived there until we hit our 60's, we had enough of Gingivitis Hitler (Phil Murphy) and the stupid high taxes. We left and wished we did it 30 years sooner.

Rode motorcycles through the Pines for years, tubing, canoeing, camping in the Batsto area.

We still go back to visit family in Mays Landing.

 

[oldmaninbc]

It is what it is, I'm an old man living in BC, visited here as a teenager, moved here in my early 20s during the early 70s. Now I'm in my mid 70s
I was born in Ontario but I call BC my spiritual home, it's where I belong...it is my sense of place.
