Ah, most people think that "johnnies" is a derivative of my name. Actually it isn?t.
When I use to frequent the "other" board, my handle was "jtheat", which is a combination of Johnstown and Buckeye Heat. When I came to OFC many moons ago, I wanted a different handle so the Huddlers couldn't track me down. (Hey, I was innocent!)
I was going to change it to "bwheat" but I thought that some might have taken that as a rip off of "Buckwheat" and did not want to rile any "politically sensitive" posters so I racked my brain for another screen name. I considered many including:
BHTBC (Buckeye Heat third base coach), BTBICP (Bugtussle's Tire, Battery and Ice Cream Parlor), EagleEye, Merlin, WhoMe?, WhatsTheScore, Like A Rock, Hulk Jr, Heater, DYSS (Did you say something),etc. I wrestled with it for a while until my better half suggest I just go with something "less stupid" - so I chose "johnnies" which is the mascot of Johnstown High School. I almost went with DYSS.
Now you know the rest of the story.
