I was legally dead for a short while... in 1989... my 'real' name is brenden.. a friend called and left a message, trying to get my attention (assuming I was there) and kept saying my name faster and faster, which kinda morphed into braindead....

it stuck.
 
Well I live in California so I have an affixation with AR’s. Since colt is so well known, I went to the next best thing (in my opinion) which was Armalite, took the “lite†out of it so it would be original, and then came out with Arma.
 
Obvious, eh? :D

Actually it's not. Years ago when I first got online ('95?) I hit political boards, almost always leftist ones...and made the mistake of using my real name. Ignorance is NOT bliss. Anyway one of the nuts, erm, fellow posters, decided to take things beyond the internet, finding out personal information, making threats, etc.

Long story short he wound up banned from that board, banned from his ISP and with the cops at his door and I left that board...only to return later with the one monicker I could think of that would absolutely infuriate the resident hoplophobic leftists the most. In one form or another, 2A, 2ndA, etc, it's stuck ever since. Only place I don't use it is a couple gaming sites where I'm Chimera or FMCAChimera, my name and rank from my favorite(and now defunct) online game, Terra
 
.22 K-Hornet

a wildcat cartridge based on the .22 Hornet, invented by Lysle Kilbourn, hence the K. Was working up handloads for one when I joined TFL.

Someday may use John Waldron: LCDR USN skipper of Torpedo 8, who flew unflinchingly to his death against IJN carriers ar Midway, thus keeping the enemy gunners and fighters on the deck while the SBDs arrived above and changed the course of the war in the Pacific. That's a MAN.
 
My nickname is Gus and I'm a daddy's girl. I took all the vowels out of Daddy's Girl and got Dddysgrl. Plus I like to shoot daddy's(his screen name on here is perfessr) guns since I don't own any yet.

Gus is a longer story. Since I was born my daddy has called me squirt. When I took Latin in high school he made it Squirtigus. That's the Latin form of squirt(so he says). And then in Mexico on a missions trip he was yelling for me and got no response. He got lazy and yelled Gus. That's the time I heard him yell and came a runnin'. So it stuck. I am now any thing along those lines. (Squirt, Gus, Squirtigus, and my sis added Gus Gus.) I don't like the Gus Gus cause that's the fat short-tempered mouse in Cinderella. (I'm not fat)

So that's how Gus Dddysgrl came about.

One of two main names I use on the net and in the games...

TheMariner-because I'm a merchant mariner in training right now.. I come up for another sea run here in July...

the other is CrepitusMors, a not quite correct translation to latin, roughly, it is suppose to mean 'Noisy Death'. My brother, took teh name SilereVita (Silent Life) to be an opposite of me when we fight together online...
 
Pretty simple actually......
It's the last grade I held in my Beloved Corps:)

Semper Fi, Sgt
 
I picked my name after taking a solid casting and making an AR15 with only a Dremel and some files. Not an 80% casting, a 0% casting. Worked 16 hours straight to do it. Went through 5 endmills and pretty well wore out my Dremel.
 
I played college football in Canada during the mid 1970's. The team name? The GeeGee's (no, I'm not kidding! ). It is apparently a sort of French Canadian pet name for a team of horses (the team logo is a sort of horses head with a flaming mane, with the letters "GG" on it). The team colors are also G arnet and G ray. I just found out a few months ago that an old teammate even built a website devoted to our team of 1975, when we won the National Championship. That team is still regarded by many in Canada to be the greatest Canadian college football team of all time. Here's the link, if you're interested:

Re1973, my Spanish is very rusty, but I believe "Mil Novecientos Once" would translate to "One thousand, nine hundred eleven."
:D
 
Don Gwinn ,thanks! :D

boy do I feel stupid :eek: I only CCW and advocate those things.

I keep telling you people I ain't that smart...see?

Spanish I had in the 6th grade...around '67...I can count to 3 , know whata taco is...my big Spanish phrase is "Satillo plate"....
where's the back door so I can leave without further showing my stupidity...
 
CB900F

I used to roadrace a CB900F motorcycle. Well, not a stock one. It wound up being an AMA legal 1025 superbike. With the engine built by a Mr. D. Zickrick esq, who also used to build them for Mr. Wise, Mr. Spencer, Mr. Baldwin, et al at HRM. Mr. Velasco built the chassis & they all worked for Udo.
 
easy choice

Spent a lot of years "looking" for the perfect'06 deer bullet/round. Reloaded since 1969, & still that"perfect" eluded me. Bought a 300 Win. Mag(700 BDL) & got accuracy I'm not supposed to have, & found a 180gr. Nosler BT will leave 'em layin' where you shot 'em EVERYTIME-11 deer/not 5 steps in all..........Wayne:D
