[Papa Zoom]

Papa Zoom. I did not give myself this name. A friend from church was visiting with his 4 or 5 year old son. When they got back home, the kid said, "Mom, I was at Papa Zoom's house."

From that day on he called me Papa Zoom. I had a long beard then (moderately long) and we've still no idea where that name originated in his sweet little head. But there it was and here it is. Papa Zoom. I rather like it!

 

[HeIsRisen2018]

I got mine off a shirt. Not the 2018 part, I just added that part since it was nearly the new year when I signed up.

 

[HeIsRisen2018]

Good idea for a topic by the way.

 

[Kidron]

The (Kidron) Valley is located on the eastern edge of Jerusalem, between the Temple Mount and the Mount of Olives. ... In the Old Testament, King David crossed the Kidron Valley to escape his wicked son Absalom (2 Samuel 15:23-30).

This is a unique area in Israel, that has an interesting biblical history.
Ive stood there.

 

[Willie T]

Mine is a nickname I've had since I was a teen. It is an abbreviation of my first name with my middle initial added. It's also a floating bar.

 

[Not_Now.Soon]

Not_Now.Soon was my guest identifier when I posted before I joined. It was mostly because I wasn't sure about joining or not and was procrastinating the decision.

I was choosing a name to write under. It's after my grandmother whose name was Theresa.

Okay cool, thanks for finally explaining that part to me. I always wondered about that.

Do I really need to explain mine?

 

[Anto9us]

Tony Curtis played a character named Antoninus in the 1959 movie SPARTACUS
I spelled it with a numeral 9 to be weird

Kirk Douglas played Spartacus - at the end of the movie, when his whole army was defeated - the enemy honcho asked "Alright, which one of you is Spartacus?"

Guys kept getting up and yelling "I'm Spartacus!"

"I'M Spartacus!"

I'm SPARTACUS!"

[evenifigoalone]

I've explained before, but that was a long time ago
To make it short, I used to want to be a Collie breeder, and Questdriven was going to be my kennel name. My username across platforms are a few variations of this, on other sites it might be questdrivencollie or colliequest
