Wasnt Bug Tussle one of the Hill-towns the Clampets referenced on The Bevely Hillbillies TV show? Probably not Texas though.....SelleckLover wrote:Agatha wrote:I have relatives in Bug Tussle, Texas...I don't know what part of Texas that is though...!I have a friend who's from Fred, Texas but I'd have to get the map out to see with is most southern!!

"Donuts ensucrats" is the Catalan translation from Jelly doughnuts. The word "ensucrats" sounds a bit like "sugar".

I didn't think to do a magnum one, most places I go by zebra 3 or a firefly reference. Guess I might have gone as "Mustache Man" or "Hi Guys!" or something had I thought of it. My favorite in iknowwhatyourethinking because I use that occasionally in real life, and Magnum manages to put some sincerity in his voice when he says it. not that he's routinely insincere.
Well I got My name from my Dad years and years ago, His favorite old black and white TV show was "Maverick" , Most people think of the movie Top Gun and thats ok too I like the movie, but me and my dad play cards all the time( even befor I could even read LOL) mainly Poker or texas hold em, Thats how I came with this name
Magnum, feed the lads, would you? There are steaks in the freezer. Yes you can have one too.

Re: Our "Magnum Mania" screen names
Resurrection time . . .
I like all the thought that goes into the names and the association to MPI people put into their screen names but I think my fave is "IKnowWhatYoureThinking" . . . it kinda sums up Magnum to me.
Now, why don't I have a Magnum related name? Well, back in the infancy of the web I had different names for each place I joined. NYCWDWFan . . . R8RMan . . . Wigman20 (long story) . . . many more . . . too many to keep track off and coordinate passwords for. Then I decided that I should just go with a global interwebs nom de plume for sanity's sake!
I combined my love of the Florida Keys, The Conch Republic, and the fact that I truly hope to retire somewhere close to there (the tiki bar will have to do until then), with my expanding political thinking, education and exchanges (although Conchservative would probably be more on target) and decided ConchRepublican was a nice little play on things.
I wish I had more imagination to go with a more "Magnum-centric" guise, but I'd have to start a notebook to keep track of things and I'm way too lazy for that.

Re: Our "Magnum Mania" screen names
I used to play NTN trivia at a local bar and team names had a 6 letter limit so I dropped the "a" from stealth and I've used that name ever since.
Re: Our "Magnum Mania" screen names
I wish I'd thought of something more Magnum-related, there are some really great names on here. Louise is actually my middle name and I tend to use it as my internet name, so that's why I used it on here.
I would've loved to have picked Agatha but that was already gone!
Talking of names, and slightly off-topic, I just wanted to share some sad news. My cat Thomas had to be put to sleep about six weeks ago, he was sixteen and had a bowel tumour and was starting to get very unwell. He was, of course, named after TM (and TS)!

Re: Our "Magnum Mania" screen names
Sorry about your cat, it's hard to lose a pet!
Ever since I got on the internet, I've used the name Big Wave Dave, or BWD, with would have been fine for this site as well. After trolling the site for a few weeks and seeing all the MPI related names, I knew I wanted one too! The first few names I picked where already in use and I was about to registrar as Big Wave Dave, when I saw the episode that Robin gave TM the password "Rosebud", and the rest is how they say, history!

Re: Our "Magnum Mania" screen names
I'm really sorry to hear your cat died, Louise. 16 is pretty good!
Rosebud, I had assumed it might have been a Citizen Kane reference. I guess it is in Magnum.
Steven Spielberg has the original Rosebud just as a random fact for you there...

Re: Our "Magnum Mania" screen names
Thank you, guys.
I might ask James if I can change my screen name, if inspiration hits me and I can come up with something good. I'm surprised none of the women on here picked Michelle - that seems an obvious choice. Or I could be Carol, but I get the impression she's not a very popular character with a lot of you! I'll keep those in mind as a back up options.

Louise, I'm so sorry for your loss. My wife and I adopt shelter cats so we have had too much experience with losing pets. It's not easy and 16 years seems long until it's over and then it's not nearly long enough. Take comfort in knowing you were there to accept his love and take care of him during his illness and that now he's happy and pain free, playing across the Rainbow Bridge, no doubt in a red Ferrari waiting for the time you guys meet again . . .

Re: Our "Magnum Mania" screen names
It is indeed both. I thought it was so clever the Magnum episode used Rosebud after I fount out Orson Welles was the voice of Robin. I'm talking about back in the 80's when I understood this. Great Welles film and a sly Magnum reference to its star and director.Danno wrote:I'm really sorry to hear your cat died, Louise. 16 is pretty good!
