I have been using rcmodel since before Al Gore invented the Internet.

Back in the BW/BCP day, (Before Windows & Before Cell Phones) the major time-wasters were DOS bulletin board's & CB radios.

At that time, I was flying R/C airplanes, building R/C airplanes, Club President & Newsletter editor of a large R/C club, and writing a monthly magazine column and doing kit tests for R/C Report.
Also doing new kit testing and flight testing for some of the big kit manufactures.

It eventually turned into way more work then play after over a decade.
Like a full-time second job, only I wasn't getting paid for hardly any of it!
Got totally burned out on R/C flying and gave it up.

But I kept my old CB/BB handle because by then, everyone knew me by it.

I was struck one day by the fact that appearances play a huge role in gun regulations. Something as simple as a color can somehow create an "evil" firearm. Hence I choose blackguns not because I own a bunch (only 1 and it's a savage) but more to point out how silly some regulations can be.
 
FoghornL

The wife says that when I get "wound up on my Soapbox", I am {ahem} 'windier' than the Warner Brothers cartoon character big rooster "Foghorn Leghorn"

Plus, Foghorn was my cartoon hero when I was younger.
 
Gungnir

Not Gun related, related to my Right Tattoo Sleeve (all Nordic), and my Personalized License Plate.

The spear (Gungnir) was fashioned by the dwarves known as the Sons of Ivaldi under the mastery of the blacksmith dwarf Dvalin. The spear was obtained from the dwarves by Loki, the results of a scheme he concocted as a partial reparation for his cutting of Sif's hair. The spear is described as having the ability to always hit its mark.
 
Poco Loco, well here on the border

spanish is as common as english, it's my smallest dogs name and I'm only a little crazy so it seemed to fit.......
 
Mine is an engineering term and also comes from when I used to live in a state whose gun laws used to cause me a lot of stress. I'm also from an age in the distant past when file names couldn't be delimited by a space (for you youngins, that explains the pointless underscore in my screen name).
 
I've been working OT and/or 2 and 3 jobs since I was a kid in highschool.
Pulled 24+ hour days and put in over 110 hours in a week. Dug ditches,
washed dishes, moved furniture, cleaned toilets, slung pizza, worked call
centers, animal shelters, and a hospital just to name a few.

The last several years have had me putting in well over 1,000 hours of OT
at one job.

So I think the name sorta fits.
 
Used to be part of a black powder gun club. Shot a 50 cal Hawken rifle. When I set up an email account, Hawken was taken, so I dropped the "e".

Although I am no longer a member of that gun club, I still have the rifle, so I still have the screen name.
 
Well... I got mine picked for me when one of my friends who introduced to the sport of shooting turned to me and said "ok, shooting lessons are now over and it's time to clean up. Guess what? You the brassdog, now start picking up all of my brass! Amans got to reload you know!":)

Good Luck!

When I was in college we (my roommates and I) used to call each other wankers a lot. So then I wanted to get an email address and every single handle I tried to pick with jake in it came up as being taken. So after about 5 tries I got fed up with the stupid internet and threw wankerjake in as my handle. Of course nobody had that name so yahoo they let me have it. I must have been 19 or so, and thought it was pretty hilarious. From then on I have picked wankerjake as my net handle. I am 25 now and it is mostly just embarassing, but I always enter it in as my handle out of habit. I am trying to get away from it to tell you the truth.
 
Ridgerunner...a term once used to describe those wily old mountain folks that were running moonshine all over the country.

I made a decent living doing that for a long time (same as my father, and his father before him)...and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

I have no idea where the 665 came from...
