First two letters are intials. "464" is the old Air Force specialty code for bomb disposal.

Department and badge number. I have had to write it on every ticket, summons and warrant I have issued for the last 15+ years so it is easy to remember.

I figuered it was easier than my State ID# that is on my court notices every week: NJ01230003658


You know, I could never find a way to (mentally) pronounce it as I read so I kinda began associating it with "Ruptured Duck". Sorry. [:D]

Mr. Frag, I got bored and was looking on the birthday counter, and I noticed yours is the day after mine, lol.


Good, remind me when it is yours ... the last two years I have completely forgotten mine [:D]

PeteG662 -> RE: Your "Name" (2/8/2005 6:35:02 PM)

Tally short for Tallahassee where I live as well as running up a tally of "kills" in the games I play. 662 is month/year of birth to remind me so I don't miss it like Frag!



BossGnome -> RE: Your "Name" (2/8/2005 7:04:00 PM)

My real name, Guillaume, was too hard for all the englishmen at the institution which I attend to pronounce, so they shortened it to Gnome. A few weeks later, I had to think of a good name for an Orc Warlord (for Warcraft III), and so Boss Gnome seemed like a good choice.



invernomuto -> RE: Your "Name" (2/8/2005 7:46:44 PM)

Taken form Gibson book "Neuromancer"

anarchyintheuk -> RE: Your "Name" (2/8/2005 7:54:54 PM)

Jaws_slith -> RE: Your "Name" (2/8/2005 7:57:44 PM)

Jaws came from the tall guy in the James Bond movie. If you see me and see what the dentist did in my mouth.. you will understand. The 43 is from the unit I served with in one of my Bosnia tours.

Skyros -> RE: Your "Name" (2/8/2005 8:54:16 PM)

I needed a name for a D&D character and was playing the board game Marita-Merkur at the time and saw the island of Skyros. So my new magic user became Skyros the Blue. All MUs needed a color back then, thank you Gandalf the Grey. So I shortened it to Skyros to use here.

You mean you're not sure?



Spooky -> RE: Your "Name" (2/9/2005 12:16:09 AM)

Spooky was the Fox Mulder's nickname in the "X-Files" TV-series ... and I really loved this show (at least the first seasons) [;)]



Titanwarrior89 -> RE: Your "Name" (2/9/2005 2:32:27 AM)

Good stories! Some of you may "need" counseling[:D]



Grotius -> RE: Your "Name" (2/9/2005 2:48:40 AM)

Grotius -- Hugo van Groot -- was a Dutch philosopher who is widely regarded as the father of modern international law, which is my field. His most famous work was called "On the Law of War and Peace."

And his thoughts on the law of the sea are called the "Grotian notion of the ocean". [:D]



Sonny -> RE: Your "Name" (2/9/2005 4:36:36 AM)

Sonny has been my nickname IRL every since I can remember. I'm a III and with dad and grandpa around they needed something to call me so as not to get me too confused when my dad or grandpa was called so I wouldn't have an identity crisis.



mlees -> RE: Your "Name" (2/9/2005 4:49:06 AM)

I'll give you guys a half of a guess on mine.



Freddy Fudpucker -> RE: Your "Name" (2/9/2005 3:51:36 PM)

I wanted to use the same name I use on the Paradox forums which is Garuda (a mythical beast) but the matrix forum wouldn't let me. So I was stuck for a name. I then suddenly remembered an old mate we used to call fudpucker and decided to use it. A fudpucker was a cocktail drink that this old friend once got horrendously drunk on when we were on holiday in Corfu.



Hornblower -> RE: Your "Name" (2/9/2005 7:48:48 PM)

First Naval Book I read.. CS Forester's "Ship of the Line."



Toast -> RE: Your "Name" (2/9/2005 10:29:36 PM)

I've had this nickname since my senior year in high school (which was more years ago than I care to admit). While my parents were visiting my brother at the Air Force Academy, I burned our house donw (well almost burned it down, the kitchen had to be shovelled out onto the driveway). Some of my so-called friends started calling me 'Toast' shortly after that and the name stuck.



Darksky -> RE: Your "Name" (2/9/2005 11:02:54 PM)

I like very much bad weather: dark cloud, cold wind, rain.
It gives me energy and makes me happy [sm=00000007.gif]



drstat -> RE: Your "Name" (2/9/2005 11:29:08 PM)

I have a Ph.D. in statistics, so "dr_stat"!

You have two daughters named Emily?



LargeSlowTarget -> RE: Your "Name" (2/9/2005 11:48:27 PM)

Interesting thread. Well, maybe I'm just a cynical SOB - I admit being fascinated by the grim sense of humor (gallows humor, black humor, or whatever it is called) sometimes found in life-or-death situations, esp. in war. One of the first examples I encountered was the nickname given to the big, slow, feebly armed LSTs - Large, Slow Targets. The term also reflects my playing style - sending invasion-TFs into enemy AZOCs with no or insufficient LRCAP...

Mmh, "ColFrost" reminds me of another prime example - the two British soldiers at Arnhem bridge taking cover during heavy shelling in the basement of a house, one complaining to the other: 'They are throwing everything at us but the kitchen sink!'. Seconds later a shell hits the house, the ceiling in the far corner caves in and crashing down with the debris comes a kitchen sink - triggering the dry comment: 'I know those b@st@rds are close, but I didn't think they are so close they can hear us talking!' [:D]



Greco, Thomas A -> RE: Your "Name" (2/10/2005 12:14:10 AM)

My parents gave me all the parts. The army (FTA) taught me how to assemble them.



Mark VII -> RE: Your "Name" (2/10/2005 1:20:05 AM)

For years my favorite drink. Maker's Mark(a fine Kentucky bourbon wiskey) mixed with a little 7-Up. Also drink it with only ice. Would go into bars and ask for a Mark 7, less than half would know what I was talking about but I would educate them if they did not know. There could be others but Maker's Mark is the smoothest wiskey I have ever tried.

When I started hanging on the forum and seeing the names there, thought I could use it with a "VII" instead of the 7 to represent a version of some weapon system and thus a war game like name.



Lonewolfpj -> RE: Your "Name" (2/10/2005 2:10:31 AM)

I have had my name since 1997. I got it becuse my last name is McQuaide and there is a movie called lonewolf Mcquaide staring Chuck Norris. I got it becuse when I played football I was always left out on an island to protect the weak side. So my team mates siad I was the lonewolf protecting the flank.



marky -> RE: Your "Name" (2/10/2005 2:18:25 AM)

its my name (plus the y of course)

also a nickname [:'(]
