I am tech support for a nation automation manufacturer.
Most of the questions I have can be found in the tech manuals that are supplied with the product. My first question to the customer is "Did you read your manual' usually followed by "NO"

SOoooooooooooooooo. RTFM = Read the F-ing Manual
 
I love Dragons. I have a collection of them all over (that my wife hates). Black Dragon is from a book called "Dragons Bane". The Black Dragon was soft spoken, smart, and very nasty when you managed to tick it off!
 
Huck Finn was a pseudonym I used from junior high days in honor of Huck’s attitude toward the truth, which was flexible. Huck was not against telling the truth but thought the technique best used by those lacking the wherewithal to make up a good story. The spelling change I acquired by dint having the privilege of frequenting a drinking establishment that bears some resemblance to Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon. For a brief time there was a coin-op trivia machine on the bar. One slow evening, the owner and the cook and I were playing for free ("someone" having jimmied the case and racked up several dozen credits) when the three of us together achieved a record score. Disgruntled Dave, the cook, was driving the gadget and at the end of the game had the opportunity to enter a player name. Dave decided that I had contributed all of the correct answers (may have, but the effects of several Russian imperial stouts prevent verification) and entered my nick name with a twist. It stuck.
 
Although from German+Italian+Irish ancestry, I was born in Havana, Cuba. My given name is Alejandro, which I changed to Alexander when I became a U.S. citizen many, many years ago.

I am told that when I was about two years old, I entered a room where I wasn't supposed to be, or more accurately, at the wrong time. Anyway, since those in the room didn't pay attention to me, I yelled "¡Nando aquí!"

Nando was what my Dad used to called me, and 'aquí' means 'here' in Spanish. The phrase "Nando aquí" is not grammatically correct, but it worked for a two-year old. Oh, by the way, I was instructed to leave the room immediately.

That episode and my saying "Nando aquí" became sort of a family inside joke.

Mine is not a happy story. It comes from a friend who is deceased. He coined my nickname, bd is short for "blackdog" and it is my token way or remembering him. He was a great guy, genuinely good guy with a very big heart.

Here is some background to help explain. He basically slipped in the shower and broke his neck and died instantly. He was only 33 years old....and left behind a 12 year old daughter....Saddest funeral I have been too lately in the past 5 years....

Anyway, his name was Jeff and was a very good close friend, ironically, when we first met, we hated each other, but then became very close when we found out our love for music and shooting.....we also worked together too....

God bless,
blackdog
 
obvious, or, nearly so. have been a retired sailor going on 33 years and am happy that i can still hobble down to the range and bust a bunch of hot stuff. then, 23+ years ago i found a good looking, gun loving woman that reloads. more happy stuff.

therefore: happy old sailor
 
Correia is my last name. Pronounced like the country, Korea. It is Azorean Portugese.
 
I'm retired Army--parent regiment is 10th U.S. Cavalry, "Buffalo Soldiers," formerly commanded by John J. "Black Jack" Pershing. I tried a bunch of possible names from that basic information and BlackJack is the first one that worked.
 
Is a pseudonym (which I hope would be obvious to gun enthusiasts) that looks like a real name. A useful alternative identity.
 
Labinnac *picture a mirror here* cannibaL

From a period of time during my mispent youth when my friends & I decided to give each other "Caveman" sounding names. Mine was Labinnac which didn't sound very caveman but it stuck anyway and I've used it ever since as my callsign.
 
old nickname from college...

"the mic" technically a deragatory term of slang for an Irishman.

shortened to one word, it sparks confusion, oft pronounced as "theemic". i don't know why i use this name. fun, i guess.
 
From cool9mm:
Raistlin: Those books are some of the best fantasy I've read.

Laurana and Sturm were two of my favorites.

Indeed, although I must admit - Raistlin is my second-favorite wizard. Elminster (of Forgotten Realms series) is my favorite. :D
 
Frohickey

Supposed to be after one of the 'Lone Gunmen' in the X-Files, but they spell it Frohike. Melvin Frohike (pronounced Frohickey :D ) is the one that gets to the dangerous jobs, while Byers and Langley sit at the command post. :D
 
Actually I am am a bowhunter. It stands for arrowed one. Actually I have arrowed more than one but the name kinda "stuck".
