Back in the mid late 90's on Viking Update Bob Lurtsema site (or Viking Underground) I started off as Vikalcoholic which indicated an addiction to Vikings football. In the later 90' or early 2000's I switched to Still Hurtn cuz of all the scars I carry from all the disappointing losses. Now you know...

Mine is silly and basically an inside joke. My wife and I a LONG time ago were having a mini-vacation in Seattle, specifically Snowqualmie Falls. We were lying in the hotel bed in the morning, looking at the room service menu and as I was speaking to the person on the phone ordering, I couldn't stop laughing about ordering a StickyBun (where I grew up it was called a sweet roll), this caused my wife to start laughing and we laughed so long and hard that the room service person hung up on us, lol.

Tyr after the Norse God of the same name. I've been using that name since at least the Viking Underground days.

I lived in Eagle County for 10 years and my daughter still lives in Carbondale, not far from the Maroon Bells.  Know it well

Yeah I was there as well. Joined during the 98 season (I can't remember if it was still mister cheer or die) Used my favorite player from youth.

Not very creative here. I live in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County) and have been a Vikings fan since 1969 - yes I am old. Hence Dadevike.

I'm just the opposite. Born and lived in Montana for 30 years. Moved to Colorado in '95 and have been here ever since. I think we're both lucky.

Currently living in Arizona since moving from Minnesota...not by my choice since I was only a teenager and didn't get a vote.  I go back to the family farm every few years to visit my cousins still operating the farm to remind myself who I am and who my people are.  Born and bred a diehard Vikings fan.
