Knicks · What does your "Knick"name mean? (page 4)

CrushAlot wrote:One other thing. I don't like to get personal on this forum because it is an outlet for me but there is something that really gets under my skin sometimes. I am and have been a special education teacher in a public school for 16 years. I am one of the therapuetic crisis intervention trainers for my district and prior to woring in a public school I was a crisis interventionist at a day treatment program. My wife is a social worker and has been employed by the same children's agency for many years. I hate getting personal but please do not come on this sports forum and post about your experience as a teacher or social worker and how it relates to sports. I get it if you coach or were a major athelete but if you are trying to start your career check yourself with that opinion. Please know that it takes every fiber in my being not to blast you for your arrogance and ignorance.

I find this fascinating... care to explain? I don't dis/agree, just am ignorant of your world

Loved hearing everyone's story - Nixluva; SupremeCommander; PresIke; Olbrannon; Martin (I always wondered about your name :-) ); Fish; nalod; PapaBear; Sangf; ActionJackson; Childs; and everyone else too.

I split a pair of season tickets with my bud in the front row of Sec 422 from '92-'02. Them was good times.

I don't live in San Fran, although I do own an antique railroad telegraph sender/receiver... which would have been used to "wire" people at some point in history.

Now that's a letdown, I thought you were one of the 12.

No, but I am 1 of 8 siblings.

cause they remind me of myself

The only "Action Jackson" who was a Knick now lives in L.A..

I loved that dog and he did help to ease some of the pain. I spent hours training him and he was so obedient. I could instruct him to stay in the middle of Jamaica Park full of kids and walk out of the park, out of his sight and he wouldn't budge until I came back and gave him the command. Great dog. He did more for us than we did for him, tho he never knew it.

Great story, nix. Sorry to hear about your loss.

whoa. same.

that is a great story behind the name.. so sorry to hear about your loss nix, but so glad you've had 3 kids since.

Nix thanks for sharing this. I know you have a lot of character and I have a lot of respect for you. My wife had a miscarriage with her second pregnancy and it was pretty devistating but we already had my oldest son so I think that helped. As far as my name on the forum is concerned it was one of many I used on NJO Nets forum. I was a bit immature about my posting back then and had a lot of names that I posted under. I just signed on as CrushAlot here. I posted on there as Jason Williams good leg, Fibula Knee back and Crushalot but it was always just in jest to bust on Nets fans. I used to post on realgm as EwingluvIII but for some reason couldn't get that id on here so I ended up with Crushalot.

sorry to hear about your loss! even though i work in a school district, i promise to never try and relate that with sports

I was joking of course, but that seems close enough.

Oh man, this got me thinking and Voila!! I figured out what Akrud stands for. Oh wait, maybe if the A and K were switched places. . .due to large amounts of vodka. Perhaps Akrud could clarify this

I was a bit heavy into the sierra nevada when I wrote that. I don't think many people do but I have read people posting stuff and I find it very frustrating.

I see where you're going with this..

PresIke wrote:moi?

ha, just look up prezike or DJ President Ike...

started djing in college with vinyl and on the radio and wanted a persona...

so i came up with "President Ike" which was actually about my mother's mother (my grandmother/nana) calling me ike, as a nickname for isaac...and with her love for eisenhower (including a mug, "i like ike")...but turns out i learned later was a way to hide my father's "jewish" side given her being an italian-american catholic in a jersey shore VERY irish-american town...because of all this, i decided to use the name as a playful way of embracing the whole thing by calling myself "President Ike"...then also in college used to play electronic arts (ea) nba live! with a good friend of mine and he wrote my name in the game as PresIke, knowing my radio show, although always called me "PrezIke"...

I just think it's cool we share first names.

And I went with firefly because it sheds light in the darkness. Or something corny like that.
