Bonanza Boomers

Mine is the name my bodybuilding coach called me.

patina wrote:Many years ago, I worked in an archaeology lab doing vessel reconstruction. For several months, I did the challenging and sometimes tedious work of putting bottles and other glass vessels back together (imagine a jigsaw puzzle made of glass and you have to figure out which piece goes with which vessel and where). Since glass tends to develop a patina over time, and it flakes off when exposed to air, I was covered in the darned stuff by the end of the day. My co-workers started calling me Patina and now I use it as my on-line name.

I really like that nick and the story behind it too!

<y nick is the name of my first horse. I was 12 and she was a 4 month old pinto filly who I truly believed looked just like Cochise. I named her after a mare on Bonanza that had a foal on the show. I think it was one of the flashback episodes where Ben remembers his trip west with Inga.

I got my name from what Jennifer called Little Joe in The many faces of Gideon Flinch

My name refers to the Sierra Mountains. I remember something about the Sierras being referred to in some Bonanza episodes.

Mine comes from the name of Joe's horse, Cochise, and 1936 is the year Michael Landon was born.

multi-purpose fandom reference, mine.

LJs stands for Little Joe's and Stalker is cause I thought calling myself 'Little Joe's Stalker' would be funny.

Mine is pretty self explanatory. Joe was my favorite Cartwright growing up and I was always a fan of Zorro with Guy Williams so when I found out he was on Bonanza I thought that was pretty cool!

I've used variations on this nickname since before there was an internet. Back when you had to dial up particular discussion boards, I was Trixie True. Then, after the Internet came along, I went to register somewhere and Trixie True was taken, so I gave 'her' a middle name, Nicole. So it's TNTrue for Trixie Nicole True. And Trixie True is a character in a play, which is sort of a parody of Nancy Drew (and Sherlock Holmes, in that it's about a mystery writer trying to kill off his own character). The play wasn't that brilliant, nor the character, either, but I always loved Trixie Belden and I liked the name Trixie True and the initials TNT, so there it is.
