The Croc Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Mine came off site about 20 yrs ago, always carried a large folding lock knife (about a 3" blade and 1 1/2" wide) in a leather belt holder. The P was taken, revolving around "Crocodile Dundee", and I ended being called "Croc" or "The Croc" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arko Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I got my nick from my dog Arko. He was a very large Gruendael/German Shepard (Only cross in his lineage!). His greatgrandfather, greatgreatgrandfather and greatgreatgreatgrandfathers were also called Arko and the latter won some championships in Germany (where I lived) in his time.

McCloggie Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I got my nick from my dog Arko. He was a very large Gruendael/German Shepard (Only cross in his lineage!). His greatgrandfather, greatgreatgrandfather and greatgreatgreatgrandfathers were also called Arko and the latter won some championships in Germany (where I lived) in his time. Must have been a nice dark shepherd. My first dog was a Groenendael and was quite mental. I've got a pedigree longhaired German Shepherd now.

arko Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 @McCloggie... he was as black as the night with just 5 or 6 pure white hairs on his upper chest. If it wasnt for those, he might have passed for a pure breed. I will have to dig out a picture if I got one showing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keg Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Don't mean people with usernames like John (cos that's my name, unless you have called yourself John and its not your name, which is far more interesting!). For myself, I have always ridden Triumphs (with a few gaps) and for many years they all had the 955i engine (two Daytonas and a Speed Triple). So how did you get yours? One that sticks in my head is pigeonblasterian cos I always thought 'What is a pigeon blasterian', then after a long time realised it was pigeon blaster ian I thought the same as you on Blasterian..... I am the shape of a beer Keg. I worked for Sony, it started there and has followed me through the industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
