I joined EZ BYC in 2002. I had only 1 chicken. A tiny bantam named LUCKY. Chicken Chariot Racing is what she excelled in. That's how the LCRT name came to be.

chicken chariot racing?!

LittleChickenRacingTeam, is that for real? The picture is priceless, but I have never heard of chicken chariot racing....oh what a sheltered life I live!!

And hey. SpottedCrow, why were you disappointed I live in WV and not Toledo?

I think I missed something there...

All I can decently say about the kilts and the men in them is..... YUM YUM!

This is really a great thread!!! Thanks for starting it up, Freebie

Hope everyone posts here, it is so fun hearing their stories!

[hipmarye]

When I was in college, my friends always teased that I was born in the wrong generation. I listened to 60's folk music followed the Grateful Dead around, told everyone I was going to live on a farm, bake my own bread and homeschool my children. I was given the nick name Hippiemarye.
Since having children 10 years ago I have slowly gone back those beliefs. ,I shortened the hippie to hip. Kind of a long story or such a short name.

You sound like me Marye.

KK, I feel the need to add a little more. I think this thread is absolutely wonderful... it helps that a little visualization seems to bond this group of people from around the world.

Anywho, the talk of kilts and Scottland made me write another novel here in this thread. My maiden name is McNabb. The name "Macnab" (however spelt) is from the Gaelic "Mhic an Aba" and means "sons (or children) of the Abbot." Originally there were lay abbots, and according to tradition the Macnab chiefs were descended from the younger son of Kenneth McAlpine, King of the Scots, Abbot of Glendochart and Strathearn, who united the Scots and the Picts. Macnabs are members of a larger clan grouping, Siol-an-Alpine Clan Alpine, with the MacGregors, MacKinnons, Grants, Macquarries, and MacAulays.

Macnab country stretched from Tyndrum west into Argyll, and east down Glendochart to Killin, where the seat of the Clan was Macnab Castle on Eilan Ran, an island on the north bank of the River Lochay. This was at the western end of Loch Tay, a point of great importance when there were no roads and water was the quickest means of transport.

I know some of these messages (to include mine) in this thread have kind of gotten off the beaten path of birds, but you know sometimes knowledge or an answer shows up in the most unlikely places

 

[soonerdog]

I came up with the name soonerdog while sitting in a computer training class. Our instructor was teaching us a basic computer skills course.

We were learning how to set up an e-mail account.

Of course, you have to have a password.......ONE THAT YOU CAN REMEMBER, and I was about brain dead after working all day and attending classes at night.

I couldn't think of a thing for a password, so the only thing that came to mind was to use the name of the little dog we had just adopted for my son's pet. We had all agreed that we would keep the name for our dog that the volunteers at the Humane Society gave to her. At that moment, I could not think of the little dogs name.

In a mad dash to keep up with the instructor, who was moving on, I had to think of some name very quickly!

The dog is a mixed breed dog, and all I could think of is that it is sooner to be one breed than the other, so I birthed the thought for using SOONERDOG as my password.

As Paul Harvey would say, Now you know the rest of the story........good day!"
