Swarely was a nickname given to Barney on HIMYM.

I liked the show a lot.

My old username was less than optimal.

My Dads nickname as a boy was Husky Boy and after he passed away in 2007 one of his friends shared some great short stories he wrote about their antics as kids and he was referred to as Husky Boy in the stories.

Would that be a play on Rush's Red Barchetta, but using maroon because Aggie?

I don't remember what 828 is...probably was a phone number I had long ago.
I was in the room here one day... watchin' the Mexican channel on TV. I don't know nothin' about Pele. I'm watchin' what this guy can do with a ball and his feet. Next thing I know, he jumps in the air and flips into a somersault and kicks the ball in - upside down and backwards... the dang (sc) goalie never knew what the hell hit him. Pele gets excited and he rips off his jersey and starts running around the stadium waving it around his head. Everybody's screaming in Spanish. I'

The first time I was asked to create a user name was on a message board for automotive enthusiasts called "Texas Racing Scene". I was 13 and obsessed with fast cars and lot of hp (horse power) was the best I could come up with.

Kind of funny to think about how my stock 3.5 eco boost F150 has more horsepower than 95% of the cars people had modified back then.

I was on heavy meds when I changed mine....patiently waiting to change it back.

I think staff should take pity on me and let me change it now since I almost died this summer.

Sea speed is the speed a ship will go when they are out of restricted waters and able to open her up. It is basically the equivalent of driving your car as fast as it will go everywhere.

I can barely remember since it was almost 19 years ago and I didn't think it would be something that I used everyday or even for very long. Message boards were kind of a new thing.

I had watched Happy Gilmore, maybe even the night before and it was fresh on my mind.

I identified with Shooter McGavin because he is an arrogant jackass, much like I was in my youth.

Well, I still am, but I was then as well.
