Highwall 160 Posted February 3 When joining SASS years ago I found it challenging to come up with an alias that wasn't already taken. On my third or fourth try I was lucky enough to get "Highwall" since that is my favorite weapon. I don't know how many members are registered with one word alias names but would find it interesting to see them. Please take no offense to those of you with 2 or 3 or multiple alias names. Many are very topical, historical and ingenious if not just plain fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hendo 501 Posted February 3 Mine alias is actually my nickname from decades ago. Well, it's actually part of it, but we won't get into that. I'm old and my ears are hammered, so I figured I'd stick with something familiar, otherwise people would get the same reaction I would get from my dog when I call it. I'm thinking of changing it to "Echo" though. Every time people ask me what my alias is, I tell them and they say "huh?" and I have to say it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marauder SASS #13056 846 Posted February 3 Marauder We moved around a lot. It was originally The Morrill Marauder Sort of a pun since I worked in churches a lot (moral), came from a small town of Morrill, and moved around causing people to think - therefore "causing trouble." Then changed it just Marauder since it was still available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Widder, SASS #59054 6,184 Posted February 3 I started out as 'Widowmaker Hill'. About 3-4 years later, Cherokee Big Dog (KY) started calling me Widder. And others were referring to my Marlin mod as a 'Widdermatic'. Honestly, I didn't name it but rather some 1873 shooters with the Ocoee Rangers started calling my Marlin that name. The name 'Widder' stuck. So I officially changed my SASS alias to 'Widder'. And that's how that came about. ..........Widder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trailrider #896 1,333 Posted February 3 When I started my custom leather business, I didn't want to limit what I made to just leather goods. I had followed a number of trails, sometimes riding horses. but more often riding a blue truck, as well as my own Personally Owned Vehicle (POV). My wife suggested "Trailrider Products" for the business. When I joined SASS, I naturally chose "Trailrider" as my alias, to tie in with my business as well as some of my history.

Wy, sort of like where I'm from Bogata. If someone can pronounce and/or spell it, they must be from there or know someone who is. Pronounced ba'go'ta. spelling is a story itself.
