OT: What's the story behind your username?

I'm not an NFL coach. I'm not an NFL GM. I'm not an NFL scout. I'm just some knucklehead sitting behind a keyboard.

AGR was the fraternity I was in when I set the account up several fortnight’s ago. 

I’m using a pro Ukraine picture until they drive the Rushkies into the seas. Then I’ll switch back to Calvin and Hobbes which is the best comic strip.

The Maroon Bells are twin mountains just west of Aspen in Colorado, and one of my favorite places on earth. I've camped, fished and backpacked in that area many times. When John Denver sang about Colorado, he was singing about this place.

Avatar is my daughter picking dandelions in the area. She's 16 now though, so might be time for an update.

Great name! My dog's name is Auggie too. Did you get it from that old cartoon?

Been up here for 40 years but still bleed purple, so  I'm like a Red Green lodge member upon meeting another Viking fan----extends hand---"So long time Suffering, glad to meet ya."

I've been a Rolling Stones fan for about 45 years or more.  The song "Happy" from Exile on Mainstreet is always a favorite.  It's as simple as that: "Happy" + "Viking" = Me on the Longship, "HappyViking" B)

No, I think my kid came up with it back when we adopted him at 8 weeks old.

It seemed to fit the Lab persona well so we went with it. 

I have no idea where she would have heard it, a she wasn't exposed  to our boomer cartoons much.

Auggie the Doggie? I could see that. 

My Gramps named me bull when i was little as I always won competitions between all the cousins. Later on it turned into Bullazing due to my street bball prowess i guess. Im too lazy to type the g i guess, plus there is no blaze left in me unless its to see who gets to the dinner table first.

Wife and I a LONG time ago were on vacation in a nice place outside of Seattle.....ordered room service and got a 'StickyBun'.....something about me saying it out loud on the phone in bed caused my wife and I to just bust out laughing. So much we couldn't finish our room service order. So now its a long standing inside joke. 

The dog in my sig is a throwback (bigger than standard, around 19 lbs.) Pomeranian named 'Trouble' (rescue). He's a piece of work and generally hilarious.

My best room service ever  was in Seattle also, drove up the coast from Cali in a convertible on thanksgiving eve and a hot breadbowl with Clam Chowdah and a Ceasar salad just hit all the spots.

Nice. We went to the Salish Lodge in Snowqualmie Falls. Gorgeous.
