You speak like an idiot? Actually, Boomer is the name of the Canadian P-40 pilot (CO)who shot down a Jap Rufe over Kiska.

His actual name is Boomer. I think his dad porked his Mom and gave him his surname.

My nickname for a long time now has been "extender". Evidently while parking I reminded a friend of a guy operating the feuling boom on KC-130.

In the army I got the nick "Blue Ranger" because of an aquamarine ring I used to wear. That one got pegged on my by noone less than the DI. Of course I've also had to deal with the ubiquitous "ski" which is the fate of anyone with a polish last name.

Chez was my nickname in the Navy (last four letters of my last name).

Jez is short for Jezebel. Jezebel is the old codeword for airborne passive acoustic sensors which is what I did in the Navy. I was Chez the Jez and pretty soon became ChezDaJez.

BTW, Julie was the codeword for airborne active sonar. I believe these codewords were originally used during the P5M Marlin / P2V Neptune days. Rumor had that these were the names of 2 hookers from Washington DC that the Airborne ASW project manager "dated."

Had just watched the film "lock stock and two smoking barrels" its a British gangster flick, there a mob hit man/hard man in that called Bob the Hatchit.

Thought it was a cool name and used it ever since, as my online name and gamespy monika.

Real names Neil.

Status: offline 		"Feinder" was a character I played in my daze in pen-and-paper RPGs. When UO came out, he was my character. As the other MMROPGs came out (EverQuest, Asheron's Call, Dark Age of Camalot, Horizons, World War 2 Online), I've always played the same character. It keeps things consistant. And the name is unique enough that, people will actually recognize me from game to game. I don't play any of them at the moment (except WW2O occasionally); so at this point, it just makes the "Login:Password" easier. Same login, same password, for everthing.

Although nicknames people have given me have come and gone (and some are not adequate for public forums), this one came about out of respect for what a full spread of Long Lances from this ship could have done in a night battle. I was actually surprised the nick was not taken, and I did have Oi as my second option.

And yes, you could say I am a Japanese cruiser fanboy :)
