Jim No Horse Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Had some pals moved my horse behind the bar in Wyoming where we were doing some serious drinking. Told me my horse was gone from the rail out front so I called the local Police.... I mean horse theft in Wyoming....one of my pals met the cop outside the bar and the fix was in. Big ole burly Sheriff comes to my table and says in a booming voice...boys looks like ole Jim here done lost his pony. I got teased for years with the No Horse moniker. I hated the name....then when I needed an alias ....well it seemed fitting and it had been over 30 years...LOL...Jim....this is the sanitized version of the story....Yeehaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 The Callaway part of my alias is reference to Caption James Callaway - grandson of Daniel Boone. He was killed in an ambush by "Native Americans" near where we live. The county we live in is named Callaway in his honor. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Callaway The Warden part... let's just say it is easy for me to remember. I thought about Miley Callaway from the Tommy Lee Jones character in the movie "The good ol'boys". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waimea Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Just came back from the Big Island and discovered CAS. Was so impressed with the town of Waimea I took it as my alias. It means Red Water in Hawaiian. Could be from the sunsets. Could be from blood in the water. Nobody really knows. Before King Kamehameha united the Island the Hawaiians were a very warring people. And Waimea happens to be surrounded by the largest privately owned ranch in the United States: the Parker Ranch. They employ hundreds of cowboys.

Rance (born in 1922) named his first son (I was the 4th son of 8 kids) William Rance.. Of course we all called him Billy... I thought seriously of tryin' fer Billy Rance... sure sounds Cowboy enough.. It would have been after my Dad and oldest brother.. But I went and waited fer Rance...

Yul Lose Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 My first alias was Hoss Hungright but Mrs. Lose hated it so about 3 months later I was watching a TV show and there was a license plate on a car that said Yul Luz so I changed it to Yul Lose and did the alias lookup and it was available and I've had it for about 8 years.

Anvil Al #59168 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Started off as Rockhill Wrangler. That is what we call our place. Rockhill. Because. Well. We have a rock hill on one corner of it. And we still had several mares and was standing a stud. So was wrangling a lot of horses. (Did not like the name. But could not think of anything else.) Real name is Allen. So Al for short. Pulled into one of my customers barns and got started shoeing there horses. (was a professional Farrier for around 20 years) They came out and said. Hey Al. Did not know you was here. But heard you pounding on that anvil. Then it hit me. Anvil Al. So changed it after the first few months of joining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecate Slam 99188 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 When trying to improve on the way I enjoy my favorite cerveza, my son-in-law suggested I rub and squeeze a lime wedge on the top of the can and then sprinkle it with salt. Nothing really new, but when I treated some of my hunting buddies with the improvement their comment was that is was so good you can "slam" it down. Thus I became Tecate Slam.

Milo Talon Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Just recently joined SASS. Started trying to decide what to come up with. I am a big fan of Louis Lamour westerns. Started thinking back on all the westerns of his that I have read in the last 40 years. All of the names that I could think of had been taken. That just caused me to start trying to think of one of his characters that was not taken. Finally came up with Milo Talon... I found out later that the name had been used in the past... More happy with Milo than some of the names my wife came up with for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
