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.

Status: offline 		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.

Status: offline 		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.

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.

Status: offline 		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!'

Status: offline 		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.

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.
