Lars Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 From a book "Cast Again" by Jennifer Olsten if I remember correctly. Book about fly fishing. I lent the book to my wife to read. The guide in the book was named Lars and my wife liked it started calling me Lars as I did a lot of fishing at the time. Friends heard her calling me Lars and then they started.

Cooter Brown Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 From William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night": "Be not afraid of Cooter Brown: some are born Cooter Brown, some achieve Cooter Brown and some have Cooter Brown thrust upon them." It's partly a play on my last name, Kudro, partly from the fact that I used to paddle a whitewater boat called a "Cudamax", but mostly from the fact that one of my best paddling buddies loves to give people knicknames. And then there's the Bourbon issue... I've had the knickname twenty years or so. Link to post Share on other sites

FlyChamps Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I used to fly a 1946 Aeronca Champ. Picked up FlyChamps from that. Then 18 months ago one of my partners totalled it. He was unhurt except for his mightily damaged ego. But no more Champ to fly. Now I'm stuck flying my share of a Cessna 172. Link to post Share on other sites
northshoreruffs Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Lived on the north shore of minnesota and love hunting ruffies. There are no grouse in MN though so most of the time I had to travel over to wisconsin when I really wanted to kill one of those elusive birds. I never could believe how many more were in that great cheesehead state. Link to post Share on other sites

optimus prime Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Optimus Prime because that is what I am going to name my next pup. Or I might name him Iron Hide. I guess I have seen the Transformers movie too many times. Link to post Share on other sites
2shot Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I was pheasant hunting many years ago with my recently purchased first O/U. My first flush of the day produced two birds and I took them both. At lunch we were all talking about the morning hunt. I was the only one with a double gun and a buddy of mine said "Listen to ol' two shot here!". The name kind of stuck. Link to post Share on other sites
