![]() How did you get your 'Africam Nickname'?Submitted by Tabs on Mon, 09/10/2006 - 2:13pm. New to Boma?I got mine from a cat (Tabatha) who used to visit my Day Care Centre occasionally and who, eventually, moved in permanently after his (yes, he was a tom-cat!) owner passed away.....

I used to be a Cub Scout leader and the leaders in my pack all took names of animals, trees, flowers etc. My "boss" knew how much I loved the bush and cats in particular and came up with "Ingwe" which is leopard in Zulu. She knew I loved cheetahs but we didn't know the name for cheetah so I became Ingwe. Don't miss anything. Do check Active Discussions ![]() Tue, 10/10/2006 - 5:36am
While visiting the Okavango Delta in Botswana last year, we were camping out under the stars, well at about 3 o clock in the morning while having a toilet break behind a bush I got chased by a Ratel (Honey Badger) up a tree. Luckily for me I had just finished my toilet doings or I think it would have turned real nasty and my pursuer decided not to follow me as they are good climbers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thu, 12/10/2006 - 12:57am
After I did a week-long Field Guide course my family started sometimes referring to me as Ranger Piet (Piet was their short-name for me, Peter is my actual given name). And that more or less stuck. ____________________________"It's a dangerous business ... going out your door ... ![]() ![]() Sun, 15/10/2006 - 11:12am
Mine comes from one of my favorite songs by Jimi Hendrix entitled "Ezy Ryder". I used to go by Ezy Ryder but Ezy sounds better in my book.

when I first got here on Africam I couldn't sit here for one minute or my kids would scream MAMMA!! and then most of the time something they wanted or wanted the other child to stop doing or so. I just react when someone says "mamma", even if it is not my own child LOL ![]() Tue, 21/11/2006 - 1:32pm
I thought this thread should make it to the foreground again since we have so many new cammers. ![]() Tue, 21/11/2006 - 9:31pm
Many years ago ( about 26 yrs ago ) when I was in High School, I had an American teacher who brought us back each a packet of Jelly Belly's from the States for a Xmas present. We did not get them in Australia then. We only had the original boring tasteless variety of jelly beans I loved the blue ones and ever since I have had that as my username. .....Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.... ![]() ![]() Thu, 23/11/2006 - 2:04pm
I had to make a new one for the Boma and because its about nature it was not that difficult. The protection of the Common Swift. And specialy their nests in our cities they come to, all from the South of Africa. That is what I do for 14 years, year round, as volunteer ![]() Thu, 23/11/2006 - 3:03pm
Good work Swift! Have you seen the article about the potentially serious threat to Barn Swallows, which migrate to SA from Europe, due to the soccer World Cup being held in SA in 2010? I know they are not swifts but I thought you might be interested anyway: http://www.birdlife.org/news/pr/2006/11/La_Mercy_BarnSwallows.html ____________________________Founding Member of the AAA - Africam Addicts Association.

Well, now I wish I had picked an African name! Susan is my real name and 1207 is the last four digits of my phone number as a child. Both easy for me to remember I guess! My nicknames on the other two forums I visit are RedLipstick, which is the common name for a tropical plant , so I use that on Spectre's Jungle. On a pond forum I am CometTose which is a play on words. Sarassa comets are a type of goldfish I keep in one of my ponds, but when you add Tose to it, well......... you get comatose, which is my state of mind when I wake up in the morning after staying up too late, unable to break away from the cam !!! -Susan ____________________________"What is man without the beasts?

I'm BenODen in a handful of places. It's just a contraction of Ben Of Denver, a reasonably descriptive nickname that's pseudo reality. ____________________________Water Hole, black hole, is there a difference?

When I first started going to chat rooms I tried to pick the name SamIam from the Dr. Seuss book "Green Eggs and Ham" which is my (and my kids) all time fav. book. My family and friends call me Sam and have since my brother in law started when I was 5. ____________________________Sandra ~ aka SAM Africam Newbie and ![]() Fri, 08/12/2006 - 9:03pm

I was always unable to get that username 'cause someone beat me to it so I just switched it around to IamSam.
My family and friends call me Sam and have since my brother in law started when I was 5. That is a great book IAmSam! II chose my name because I love the Westcoast of British Columbia and the beautiful beaches. I also had this name on the Eagle Cam on Vancouver Island. ____________________________I haven't seen Rhino,cheetah,and leopard yet! Member of the Spotted Hyaena Fan Club The Whoooopers |
