    My handle is my nickname and has a somewhat complex, 2 part history. In high school (80's), we had a friend who was, shall we say, a little frugal. His last name was May so we called him "Miser May." Well this pissed him off to no end so one night I turned it backwards and called him "Resim Yam." This caught on and led to us putting "resim" in front of other backwards words as a type of code (girl with big boobs walks by, someone would say "resim stit", etc.) which was great because nobody knew what we were saying. It was silly, we were in high school and would often be "resim denots" back then :grin:. My last name is Neff so I became Resim Ffen, then just Ffen.

    Then in the early 90's we loved to play the NHL Hockey video game (Sega?). Being a Detroit Red Wings fan, I would always be them and they had a mostly Russian lineup, so I became "Ffenski." (though the "ski" ending is more Polish, Ffenski sounded better than Ffenov). And now you know the rest of the story!

    It's a tongue-in-cheek take from an incident shortly after I got married in 1998.

    I was on a USAF Space Command Inspector General TDY to Vandenburg AFB, and being a good, newly wed husband, wired my wife some flowers with the appropriate sappy sentiments. I signed it as 'Love, your Big Goof'. The enclosed card read 'Love, Your Big Goot'.

    And so, over the years, I've incorporated Big Goot into many of my on- and off-line personae - thus 'BeerGoot'.

    Hah! I never used it for anything before that, and even though I have an uncle Charles (“Chuck”), never thought of using Chuck.

    Instead, I took a couple of local cartoonists as inspiration: Chaz Truog and Chaz Smith.
