unless I'm pushed WAY far - then, I can be
"Nightmare Twister"!

And all this time I thought it was because you were long "wind"ed.

Moved to Arizona in 1997. Prior to leaving there, I was best known as AWOED (for Editor of the American Weather Observer for 14 years). Well, the publication didn't follow me here, but my love and appreciation for the Arizona sky did. Thus azskyman!

my favorite storm of all was a tropical storm named Josephine that hit near the big bend in 96

TexasStooge · #24 Postby **TexasStooge** » Wed Sep 15, 2004 9:38 am

Let's see how I got the name TexasStooge:

I was born & raised in Irving, Texas; lived in the area most of my life.

And Stooge....well, that's obvious: I'm a fan of The Three Stooges. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!

Most folks think of Arizona as being ALL desert, when in fact, I live at an elevation of 7102'! So....with that said, ever see a "Arizona Snowman?" LOL!

My wife calls me J, I call her C, --- I started using it on TWC and carried it over when I was shown the door there.

GrimReaper · #30 Postby **GrimReaper** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 12:54 pm

There actually is a story why I have this name, but it is kind of morose. So I think I'd rather just check out everyone else's stories...lol!!!
Keep on!!

Was called Pebbles by my team in high school because wore my hair like Pebbles

It stuck! It evolved to WuvablePebbles because I am very huggy and luvable

but that's pretty long to type all the time no? Lots use Pebs for short. *HUGGERS*

Whoever did that is probably a Weird Al fan, because that was one of his albums.

Anyway, my usual screen name (for any type of thing that requires one) is heelsrule1988, but since this is a weather forum and I like hurricanes, I decided to make it hurricanefreak1988. And if you're wondering what the heels means in my usual sn, you should know if you're from NC. And if you're not, check out http://www.tarheelblue.com

<-Widepsread Panic...
"As long as there's water
Chilly wet water
Gimme some of that cool water"

It's also wishful thinking as in "I hope that 'cane hits some chilly water."

#37 Postby **coriolis** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 8:56 pm

The coriolis effect causes air moving along the earth to move in different directions than the pressure gradients that propel it. This is due to the rotation of the earth and the convergence of longitudinal lines. Also, the apparent movement of air to an observer on the ground is different than the real motion. That's my life: always ending up somewhere other than where I aimed.

I USE to think nobody could possibly love the wx as much as i do so i figured i was the King Of Weather! :wink:

#40 Postby **vbhoutex** » Fri Sep 17, 2004 10:23 am

The nick came about long before S2K. It is a combination of the first initials of my last name V and B and a shortened version of where I live, Houston, Texas- and you have vbhoutex.

Break Time How did you come up with your S2K name?
