What’s In A Name?
When I was doing the entry a couple of days ago about the “Three’s” game. One of the listings was your three screen names. My screen names are pretty straight forward. But it got me thinking about all those screen names zooming around cyberspace from e-mail to e-mail, chat room to chat room. It seems that most people have at least one screen name that is a variation of their name, like “j_smith” and then that have any number of descriptive screen names, describing themselves, what the like, where they live, or some combination of descriptors. I guess it only makes sense that if you are making up a name, it has something to do with who you ae or how you see yourself. Afterall, most of our actual surnames are derived from something our ancestors made up based on what they did (Miller, Baker, Crook) or where they lived (O’Connor, Montclair).
Some people have brought that tradition into the cyber age: “MDnDC” (a doctor living in our nation’s capital)
Some simply state who they are: “James40″ (a humble screen name, but with a shelf life.)
Some tell you what they look like: “blondmuscle9″ (fair-haired, hard-bodied, big-cocked….or nine years old?)
Some use their screenname as a personal ad: “masterTop4Musl” (yes, sir)
Some guys are cruising: “LikeUMBigger” (size-queen)
Some guys have fetishes: “h20sprtz” (ok, maybe he’s a water polo player, but I doubt it)
Some even tell how the date is gonna end: “My9hurtsU” (silver-tongued devil!)
I think the one’s that are the most interesting/ fun are the ones where guys lack no confidence whatsoever and use their screen name to make statements that are really, as they say, are in the eye of the beholder:
“Herculicious” (heavily muscled and tasty?); “prttydck” (photogenic member); “sexymslNJ” (muscular and from New Jersey…but shouldn’t we decide the sexy part?). I applaud these guys for knowing they’ve got the goods and aren’t afraid to say so. I would never have the nerve to call myself sexy, tasty, handsome, hot, etc. in a screen name. I guess I could use “peepssayIhaveniceeyesB4,” but that’s an awfully long screen name.
Then there are the screen names that you have no idea what they are trying to say: “sineater” (do we want really want to know? ), “astroshape” (must be something spiritual, surely), “pianobenchpress” weightlifting pianist? guy strong enough to bench a piano? guy who makes piano benches from a mold?)
And you’re saying, “What about your screen name…largetony?” Well…it’s nothing subjective. My name is Tony. And I do have a large cock. So, it’s simply who I am. And if you think the large part is subjective, then apply it to my height (6′-3″); or my feet (size 14) or my nose. One of those four things has to be large by some standard.
But just like the name Smith became so common, certain words and variations are so common on screen names now that you not sure whether you chatted or messaged with “hrystudmsl”, “hairymusclstud”, or “hrymuslSTUD.” So I want to see a whole new crop of screen names out there, but the following words( and their variations) are off limits from overuse:
top, bottom, vers, hairy, hry, muscle, musc, musl, gym, bod, stud, vgl, hunk, hunky, boy, boi, dad, daddy, cwboy, cowboy, butch, master, fit, sexy, jock, built, blt, pig, lthr, leather, masc, meat, hard, hrd, dude, flex, flxr, pump, pumper, buff, buffed, beefy, butt, pup, hot, hottie, hung, hng, big, lrg, and large…
Hmm. Guess I’ll be known as “ampletony”.

“morethanampletony” is much too long. I think “largetony” fits you just fine!
