The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)

[JFST]

I always wondered where people got their user names?

Mine are just my initials, but is so boring I might change it (laughing man is available?

)

@SpooPoker ("¿como de bueno es tu español?") would never guess it, which raises the question of how many people speak spanish (gracias and amigo is very common here) on this thread...

^^^ you have 4 initials?! baller!

fwiw, i am of mexican descent but sadly no hablo the espanol. maybe just a leeeetle. i would understand if you wrote something but conversationally I'm a dead duck.

i do like amigo tho so you will see me use it all the time but when you see it in my posts imagine a gringo saying it. i also cherish the phrase adios so i use that IRL as well.

 

[jdrizzy]

My first name starts with J, last name starts with D.

Pretty sure Drake stole the Drizzy part from me.

 

[oreagan]

I like the first pair of Florsheim monk straps, what kind of hide are they?

Not sure, doesn't seem to say anywhere I see. I can make out that they're 11C in size, but any more than I'm sure someone else could guess with more information than me.

obviously for personal use anything goes, really.

but for market value/desirability, i would've passed on everything without a second thought.

the real question is: what didn't you see or what did you pass on that would've been worthwhile?

Well I didn't post everything I grabbed. There were these three pairs of Allen Edmonds that fit me, one of them NWOT:





And also this YSL shirt that seems in perfect condition:


But they're all going into my closet and were less borderline, while also not being overwhelmingly brag-worthy, so I left them out.

 

[Reosymes]

Mine is based upon a character in my favorite all-time book ('Dog of the South'). When I was registering I couldn't add a space, nor could I use capitals to differentiate the two words. So I'm stuck with reosymes instead of Reo Symes.

Yes, one middle name and two surnames from both my parents, the universal Juan and the more spaniard "geographically" of Fermin...like the running of the bulls...@Ds13 weren't you there this last year? Anyway I'm originally from the other part of the country...

My name: I was cast as Cosmo Kramer in the pilot of a show called "Jerry". It wasn't picked up.

The funniest thing is trademarking DrunkSpoo in that response!


I always wondered where people got their user names?

I'm curious about a bunch of names on here:

@SpooPoker
@TheNeedMachine
@barrelntrigger
@FlorianQC
@Bahljs
@capnwes
@Jompso
@Orgetorix
@GMMcL

AND others that I can't remember right now.

My name isn't that exciting, but I'll tell you anyway. When I was in law school, I wanted to be a law professor (to some extent, I still do) or a Judge. When I went on ebay to set up a user name (just to buy back in 2002), I tried herecomesthejudge first. That was taken. I tried a 1 or 2 professor varieties and came up with NobleProfessor.

Nothing to write home about. My last name, Bahl. First initial, J. Middle initial, S.

 

[highvoltorb]

Nobody asked me but I tend to get angry when other Pokemon attack me and I self-destruct so I just get super baked and everything is better.

Nah, I'm just ******* with you guys. Voltorb has never been in my line up and I have a drug test in a few weeks. The real truth is that I liked AC/DC when I made my AIM username back in 2005 and then I stopped.

 

[ChetB]

My name is his.

Hah! I used to go by Emil Minty on some forums etc. Everyone knows him, they just don't know that they know.

 

[OolongT]

Mine from a rabbit able to balance just about anything on his head.

My name is his.

Lovely voice, the doc (Let's get lost) by weber is not bad...
