Where posters handles come from? Some are boring like my own. jezr is letter play on Jezza which is a nickname for Jeremy, my name.

I often look at others names used here and wonder what the story is behind it.

Post your meaning, I think a few of us would find it interesting.

seasoned,
Well preserved, time in grade, advanced age = a grandfatherly approach to life in general.

Because the login "Sneaky Bastard" would upset the software...

Actually, I used to be head of an offroad club called the Dirty Dogs. I later helped establish an offroading site and used the login Dirty Dog.
It just carried over to here.

A left over from my reckless 30s....a contraction from my Avatard identity and 'reckless fire' a line from an anime title song, but that was already taken. (actually my email...back then. Now I have an 'adult' handle for those things)

'K' for Karate initially. (Now could be Krav as well or AiKIdo)

...when I was 10 years old, I saw a karate demo and it appeared that the man was 'flying' as he did many of his jumping kicks..
years later - in the midst of my TKD journey - I am, in my own way - 'learning to fly'..

So, short version = my initials + learning to fly (ks - learning to fly) :)

I'm a huge fan of baseball, especially Major League Baseball. I am also a big fan of the New Era cap line, which that is where I get my official field caps to my favorite sports teams -- especially Baseball (Boston Red Sox).
So with that said, I have always fantasized being a pro baseball player like Ted Williams or Babe Ruth. These guys were real "go-getters" see, real players... I consider anyone who's a hard-charger or a "go-getter" a real "player".

I'm 26 years old and I consider myself a player in that way, something that seems to be hard to come by these days. I'm also relatively young still, so I still consider myself part of the "new era", or the "new age".
So that makes me the "New Era Player". :)


I've considered trying to find out a way to have MT change my name to something easier for people to address though. Lol

I almost went with Ty Cobb as my handle. Kinda wish I did.

An elflord in Lord of the Rings. He appears very briefly in the movies at the very start of the first one and at the very end of the third.

When I registered for Iain Abernathy's forum he doesn't allow "silly" names, so my e-mail address of Darth_Paul got changed to Paul_D :-(

As I can't be doing with diffident logs ins for different sites, I stuck with it.
