Explain Your Screen Name

[Alien Legs]

Mine is my trail name from hiking the AT.
The first day on the trail all I ate was dried mango and got mango sick. I felt fine right up to the point I could smell the smoke from the campfire at the end of the day. I ended up puking for an hour after that. My buddy said I looked like a scary alien because I was thin and wearing tight long johns while pacing behind the campsite puking in different spots.

 

[jdeerfoot]

Many years ago when I was a kid I regularly tormented my oldest sister until she came at me. I would outrun her and she started to call me Johnny Deer Foot.

 

[goonstroke]

a play on the word 'gadabout'

Given your profile photo, I'm surprised you didn't preface that with "I'm glad you asked that question ..."

 

[shinintimes]

Shinintimes is an early 19th century mountain man term meaning "good" times such as "those sure were shinintimes".
Also the name of my cabin property.
