I was just a big Blake fan when I first started following the Bengals. Those rainbow bombs got us through the 90s.
There was actually another Shake n Blake on the old boards for awhile. Used to confuse people.
My first Bengals jersey was an item headed for the trash from an official NFL print shop that was snagged by a family friend. Their automated printer/press machine thingy ran out of Bengal #8s in the front as it was running through. They stopped the machine, reloaded and was going to throw it away because it was more of a hassle to get one side by itself. Our friend said "Believe it or not, I know a Bengals fan isolated in Alaska that would love to have this." So security made him pay something like $2.75 for the cost of a jersey they were selling for $50 or $60. Our friend finished the note with "So if you buy me a beer, you still overpaid for this jersey!"
On your last point, well over a decade ago, I used to go by AlaskanBengalFan and then joined a board that had Amish Bengal Fan, Air Force Bengal and Austin Bengals Flight Team(something to do with his bowling team). There were so many threads where ABF or AFB or ABFT were used and it caused some confusion especially when there were typos.
Me: "I never said that"
Adversary: "BS!!! blah, blah"
Amish Bengal Fan one day later: "I'm the one that said that."
