Yeah, I don't think I'll be using THAT handle out on the open road...

I don't want to sound really stupid, but what is a CB handle?
Real name: Tosser
Kitzy: Target Ass
Wow...now that's classy.
ahhhh, kids. in the 70's the radios used by truck drivers to communicate with one another, called "citizen's band" radios or cb's, emerged into the national consciousness for a brief shining moment. due to movies such as smokey and the bandit, convoy (inspired by the song of the same name) and country songs such as teddy bear by the great red sovine and rubber duck, truckers and cb's were very popular.
those using cb's had names. much like our screennames, only they called them handles. the cb was seen as somewhat exotic by middle america because of the strange language it used. police were bears or smokeys. a rolling brothel was a honey wagon. a load of hogs was, well, a pig pen. to gain access (or to strike up a conversation with someone on the cb) one would press down the mic button and call out "breaker, breaker."
for a moment these terms took on a life in the public eye. but as with most things of the 70's they faded from view with the advent of new technologies and hipper trends leaving those who lived through it wondering how they would explain the "keep on truckin'" shirts and the life-size cutout of burt reynolds and jackie gleason.

Remember on tv: BJ and the Bear
Yes kids, there really was bad tv years ago.
BJ and the Bear was about this sexy trucker that travelled around with a pet monkey. So as not to confuse people's morals (and think he was doing anything kinky with the chimp), in every episode, there was always a scene where he would wake up in a hotel with a different blonde woman.
simians were very popular sidekicks in the 70's. while tv's bear was a chimpanzee, clint eastwood shared the big screen with an orangutan...twice: every which way but loose and any which way you can.
Undi..we have the same handle..... Bitch

"simians were very popular sidekicks in the 70's."
Where was PETA then? Obviously writing slogans for Wacky Packs.

Apparently, I'm Anal Baby. That's charming. I think they got me confused with some of you "fancy" gentleman out there.
Hey now, some of us watched I Love the 70s. We know what's going on
My Name: Gimp (which is funny, because that was my nickname in my senior of high school, after I had knee surgery and had a limp for 6 months)
Shameless: Momma's little bastard
