How did you pick your Forum UserName?

My name was sort of picked for me. You see, my great great grandfather on my mothers side of the family had an uncle whose 1st cousin was named, wait a minute, it might have been a 2nd cousin. Awww, this is going to get too complicated. The short version is that I'm using the name MARK on the forum.

This is a wonderful topic. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and the other similar forum thread. That older thread (2007) asked for more detail. Not just screen name but avatar and user's history with the lake. That other thread can be found if you CLICK HERE.

The background of the forum name Fatlazyless in the older thread is much different than his explanation in this current thread and somewhat revealing. Check out his story in message # 20 in the older thread.

I do not know how to link to individual posts like #20 or I would have.

Still many more forum users who have not posted to either this or the older thread. Don't be shy. Add your name. If you never thought you had nothing to post, you do now so do it.

When I started coming up to the lake in the early 80's with my friends, we often talked about retiring here and living the geezer life. We planned the things we would do in retirement, sort of a bucket list, which included building a submarine, opening a local radio station and operating a lake barge. When the forum first started in the 90's, the phrase "when we are geezers" was still a common start to a conversation. I chose the name Lakegeezer, knowing that someday I wanted to be one and knowing I had better grab the name before anyone else did. I'm not yet retired, but moved to the lakes region in 2008 as a full-time resident. I'd still like to build a submarine contraption some day. So - I'm still growing into my user name, and fully expect the Winny forum to still be here when I reach my goal.
