My initials are GO, and that's how I've always signed everything I've ever written.
On the plus side, when I say "GO" at the end of every post, it seems to help encourage people to respond. Not what I intended, but it's a nice fringe benefit.
Cheers!

When I was much younger, around 18, my best friend would fill out those "get a free club membership" forms and would write my last name as rectorsquid. I have no idea why he did it. It's a good user name since it is always available.

My buddy Tom Torkelson, world class climber and mountain guide and now a permanent resident of Argentina gave me the middle inital F.
A number of years ago I moved to Wyoming from Utah in search of alpine terrain, high adventure, skiing and better paid work. I had met Tom in Zion and we were fast friends. My second summer here, Tom told me I would earn the middle intiial F if I climbed the North Face of the GFT. (Grand F&$*@^g Teton) So, my buddy Joe and I proceeded to smoke the north face route in 12 hours (car to summit)on Solstice 2002 thus both earning our F.
So, with joking pride, I can substitued my Allen of Nathan Allen Brown with a F. and there you have NFB

I figured if Alex Rodriguez could be A-Rod, Jennifer Lopez could be J-Lo, why can't I, Troy Moss be T-Mo????
Also a buddy of mine always refers to my band as the "troy moss outfit" then began refering to me as T.M.O.

Catching up with this thread after a long vacation away from the Taco forum...
I many other sites I go by the name blokeonarope - meant to be a take on the 70s fad for soaponarope.
On the Taco I go by Rich the Brit cos my first name is Richard and... er... I am unmistakenly British (now a long time resident in the USA). I still get asked if I am an ozzie, kiwi, etc. I think people are trying to be polite - typically antipodeans hate being mistaken for their cousins. I was once asked by a turo in the valley if I was from Texas???
Rich the Brit was an attempt to help people identify me when they ran into me in the valley. In truth, it was a bit of overkill - climbing on double 9 mils, a rack of WC friends, an extreme prejudice against any brand of nuts other than DMM, an untreatable addiction to tea, my strange climbing calls ("Safe"), and endless rantings about all things gritstone, didn't really need any embellishment.

hey there, say, cowpoke... wow that was a nice down-home story... say, my buddies that work their ranch, would like seeing how you decided to get your supertopo name.. thanks for the share...
say, i already posted a ways back, but this is very interestng to keep up on, i will try to backtrack and read some more..
say, gunsmoke.. i just got done watching an old western, and they mentioned a name of a city in colorado, not sure if it was a fiction-city, or a real one.... its name was:
gunsmoke...
hmmmm, were you refering to perhaps a said-same (but true) city, when you mentioned:
the best bouldering around... ?

bitd, Russ Walling used to answer most queries asked of him "Don't know...can't say"..I seemed to remember hearing it a lot, and don't for the life of me know why I chose that when I signed on here, but I did. Go figure
but I used to go by many, many more nicknames, just as most S. Cal locals used to and usually bestowed by Mr. Walling.

My last name means Wolf in Swedish..............Strangely there is not a drop of swedish blood in me. Seems to have been some bad penmanship when my Grandfather signed on with a company around 1920.
