No great mystery behind mine - back when I was running with the gang, George and Gina started calling me that because my last name is Boone :). The screen name that always conjures up an image for me is: landoftheskytintedwater |

quote boonie: "missmolly- Thanks for the background. It's the cutest name...in the rippin'est, roarin'est, fightin'est way that the north woods ever knew. Boonie's song! Landofskytintedwater almost has a song too! |

So, share the what and the why: Mine is boonie. I have no clue what it means, but it sounds so down-homie and friendly that it makes me smile when I read it and I think, "Perfect campfire pal!" |

A name I'm happy to click on is "Saganajoe". I think Saganajoe has one of the most upbeat, enthusiastic and refreshing attitudes on this board. |

Whether you have a real quirky name or use your own name it don't matter here. Everybody I meet is pretty unique in their own way. Love ya all..." If we were the organs of bwca, Ben would be the heart. Arctic would be the brain. I would be the gall bladder. |

Except reality would have you and many joining Arctic for the brain spot. Excuse me I gotta clean up my messes from spitting out my coffee while reading that. Maybe funny bone would be you too... Not really an organ. |

I'm sure there's a gear 12-step program out there somewhere. Dave (with a dumb "couldn't think of anything else" screen name) |

quote awbrown: "I've always been amused by "Butthead." Wish I would have thought of that one myself." Heheheh, me too! I always chuckle when I respond to him in a thread with a "Thanks butthead" or something (LOL)? Just SO many that make me smile, laugh, or give me a warm feeling so I know I'll miss some. Amok- I didn't know Amok, like many of you, but always enjoyed his posts. As a cancer survivor myself, we always see things a little differently; the skies are a little bluer, the sunsets are more spectacular, steak tastes a little more amazing..... I could feel that in his posts and I go back and look at some of his threads on occasion. Saganagajoe-He makes me smile in much the same way. He seems so enthusiastic and optimistic it just bubbles out in his posts Missmolly-Reminds me of the Jerry Vandiver song that speaks to my heart. Have had a lot of e-mails between us and feels like a "Kindred" soul? Molly and Me Jerry Vandiver Onematch-speaking of Jerry, I love his songs, enjoy his posts. Would like to spend some river time with him again, he's a great trip mate. Puffingin-Ginny's a long time friend and she and Duluth Moose's friendship are treasured memories. maxxbhp-I love Bill's tongue-in-cheek sense of humor and he's one of my favorite trip mates on the river. We need to get out again this fall, Bill! Spartan2-I feel like her threads are kind of like a warm hug? She's always been so nice and helpfull to me. Drab-one of the kindest, nicest guys you could hope to meet. dedgrass-another fine tripping partner who can pick a banjo and catch fish out of a bucket Basspro69-Such a nice guy, I always feel like I get a "Virtual" hand-shake when I interact with him. Seems like such a nice guy? Tuscaroraborealis-my favorite trip reports and many of them on the Gunflint in areas I'm familiar with. Dicecupmaker-What a guy, dedicates so much time and $$$ to his crafts to members on this board! THANK YOU! I know I missed several because MOST of you here are a "Treasure" to me. I spend probably 75% of my online time here. Thanks to all of you out there that make BWCAW.com such a great site! |

AMOK- I do enjoy seeing his posts while reading through old posts. I do miss Kanoes' pot stirring. Lots of great names and folks here. |

That's what "makes me happy" - knowing to whom I'm speaking. |

quote scat: "Well, since you asked, my theory is, and I've given considerable thought to this, considering your name is Katy, that your screen name missmolly derives from a pet you care for, maybe a dog, but I'm putting my money on a cat named Molly. I guess that makes me happy. Why wouldn't it. Except I'm probably wrong. Second guess is you have a grandma Molly. Not as happy with that, for whatever reason. Third guess is you like the name molly. Cuz it's punk rock cool. It's the third one. Molly is punk rock cool. |

Tip Kanuski I could name several from this board, but I know that I'll miss some obvious ones and have to edit my post. FISHONFISHOFF, BobberNumber3 and MoosePlums are three pretty good ones though. Another good one is PaddleFasterPastor. I just saw him about a week ago and he admitted that he really doesn't spend much time on here (or any canoe board) anymore. Pretty clever name for a canoeing clergy. This would be a great campfire conversation. |
