Your Username Contest - POLL CLOSED Guv is the winner! Congr

Choosing five was ridiculously hard. Thanks to everyone who participated. I learned a lot about the folks here. Here are the nominees for best username story on a cigar forum:

Guv - I posted this before somewhere but here it goes...

Why I chose Guv as my user name:

While engaged to my now wife and just after purchasing my home over 13 years ago, we decided to do the humane thing and go to our local S.P.C.A. to adopt a dog. We figured we had a new home so it was only right to give an animal without a home a new home too.
Since I work in the area where our S.P.C.A. is located, I went to check out the dogs on my own. I found a 1-year old Rottweiler that was in great health and would make a perfect watch dog. I went home that night and made a major no-no. I decided to take my wife back to check the dog out. As soon as we entered the kennel area she started crying. I'm trying to drag her over to look at the Rottweiler but she was to busy sobbing by the cage of one of the mutts. This dog was filthy dirty because it was hit by a car. It had puncture wounds on its hind legs, cuts on its head, and blood on its nose. Even though it still was wagging its tail and my wife couldn't stop crying the whole time she was petting this dog. She turned to me and said they will euthanize this dog soon won't they. Still wanting the Rottweiler, I'm telling her nah, it will be fine. I stop one of the staff who was in the area and asked "how much longer this dog had until they would put it down". He responded by telling me "don't worry about it pal. This dog has at least till the morning before they will put it down." With that, I hear my wife now whimpering in the background.

I tell the guy I want this dog. He looks at me and laughs. I have to tell him again that I'm serious. He literally runs out of the room and gets two more staff members, neither of which can believe that we want this dog. As we are walking out the door just before closing that evening, they were all applauding like in "An Officer and a Gentleman".

I put the dog in my brand new car and he quickly thanks me by puking in my car. It took several hundred dollars to get this dog back to health. We named him "Governor" or "Guv" for short because we gave him a stay of execution.

Well, Guv has been with us for over thirteen years now and he is an awesome dog, friend and companion to my kids.

Ichthus - Ichthus is the greek word for fish. There is also an outdoor christian concert in Kentucky called Ichthus. The fish was the early sign of the Christians when they were under persecution. One christian would draw half the line and the other would complete the line inverted thus making the sign of the fish which you see here and there, mostly on cars. Thus, they would be able to identify each other. Each greek letter in the word represents another word, thus Jesus Christ Gods Son Savior. My car plates are also Ichthus. It is a good conversation starter and a way to share my faith.

Repoman75 - Here's mine:

When I was in college, I lived with 2 roommates in an apartment. One of them was TERRIBLE with paying the rent on time and his monthly bills. He spent most of his money on weed. So, one month comes along, and he's short... so, enough is enough. I tell him in no uncertain terms that from now on, unless he wants his bed moved out by the dumpster, he is to hand over all moneys earned to me (he was a waiter). So, weekly, he would give me his tip money and paycheck and I would "hold it". If he wanted money for weed or whatever, he would need to check with me first for his allowance. Well, it eventually got so bad that one night he had some girl over and was about to leave the place with her when he realized he had no cash. He actually had to come back and ask me for some cash in front of her! (Needless to say, he didn't get lucky that night). Since then, my buddies have called me the Repoman - always collecting what's due.

Csaclint - As for my handle its pretty simple CSA is for Confederate States of America and Clint is for my name Clinton. Where i work employees outside of management and sales specialist are called CSA for customer service associate, when my boss first heard my handle/email addy, he thought i was a real die hard company kind of person, that kind of served me well so i never bothered to correct him. I figured why spoil a good thing?

Nunee - Many years ago I was with my mom at her best friends house. Her grandson was there, who was 2 at the time. We kept running around grabing his crotch. They asked him "Why are you touching your nunee, do you have to go to the bathroom?"

NUNEE!! What a cool nickname. Not a word I had heard before, and certainly not in that sense. Something about it stuck with me. It was short, quick, had a nice ring.....and only I would know what it meant. Until now......

Basically it means wiener, but I like the fact that it doesn't 'really' mean anything, and it is generally available, since it isn't a real word.
