    White man came across the sea
    He brought us pain and misery
    He killed our tribes, he killed our creed
    He took our game for his own need

    We fought him hard we fought him well
    Out on the plains we gave him hell
    But many came too much for cree
    Oh will we ever be set free?

    Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes
    Galloping hard on the plains
    Chasing the redskins back to their holes
    Fighting them at their own game
    Murder for freedom a stab in the back
    Women and children and cowards attack

    Run to the hills run for your lives
    Run to the hills run for your lives

    Soldier blue on the barren wastes
    Hunting and killing their game
    Raping the women and wasting the men
    The only good indians are tame
    Selling them whisky and taking their gold
    Enslaving the young and destroying the old

    Run to the hills run for your lives
    (repeat to end)

    Mine is ( Former World Wrestling Federation ) Champion "Bret Harts" finishing move.
    The name sharpshooter was already taken so I added the first inital of his last name, H.
    So sharpshooterH it is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    ok my name came from 3 places.

    1. Southpark hence the avatar.

    2. Avonmore describe their full fat milk as creamy goodness.

    3. Creamy is a little play on words on how some boardsies pronounced my old alias.

    A Latchyco is an old dublin Character.

    Danial o Donnel even has a song called Latchyco .( no i havent heard it and have no intention of either ;) )


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Biggins was given to me at school. It was meant to be Biggles, some sort of comic/book figure but kids being kids, they renamed me after a character that was the complete opposite of what the other was!

    I'm old, I'm sentimental. The name has stuck. :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,754 ✭✭✭smokingman


    A guy on here had a problem with my companies website and I created the account to PM him and let him know we were fixing it and not to call the guards.

    It was all cloak and dagger stuff as my boss didn't know I was helping the "customer" out directly....hence Smokingman from x-files fame.
