I'm so extremely average and enigmatic that I can stand right in front of people, and they don't even know I'm there.

Bishop was taken, qwijibo is never taken anywhere.

The good ones were already taken--I wanted "Imbrog|io", but hey, it was already being used--and by some guy who doesn't even have an AR. [:(] I ended up just using my stale name from ebay. I am an amateur beekeeper though.

Ceberus,
This is a great topic it was covered back on 7/7 of this month.Just giving you a heads up incase not many people respond. Here's the link to the other thread: [url]http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?id=35582[/url]

My name ..."Beagles" Because I love the breed of dog. The "747" because I like planes and growing up it was a suffix to a C.B. handle and my Mother & Stepdad had it also so it stuck with me over the years.

John

Mine should be obvious. I'm an MD and an ex-Marine.

By the way: live each day to the fullest. I see people every day who regret that they didn't.

Kelly is my first name, which used to be, back in the olden days, a guys name. Now I meet 10 women to 1 man with the name.
So I use KC which sounds more macho.
I bet I get 6-8 letters a week addressed to Mrs. Kelly C Phelps.

Two reasons...

1. Since December I've been hospitalized for a life threatening condition a total of about 80 days. You'd be amazed how badly you can warp your brain watching old reruns of Scooby-Doo while hopped up on morphine.

2. Since December I haven't had a haircut. Everyone who sees me keeps asking me when I'm going to cut that "shaggy mess" on my head.

I used to work with a bunch of "rough", "shady individuals. I was just the opposite, clean cut, clean mouth, etc. They found out my dad was a sunday school teacher and one ole' black fellow started calling me the "good Reverend". I dropped the good part and added 73 for the year of my birth.

Mine is a two parter.
1st. Going on 26 years leo those nubies I work with call me a mean ass old dinosaur.

2nd. In the movie Preditor in the helicopter I believe it was Jesse Jentura who made the statement about being a sexual tyrannosaurus, and my wife said that the way he acted fit my disposition, so since then my kids call me the old T Rex.

tool- the band. I'm really not into their "message" (if they have any). In fact, they're really dimented and I probably wouldn't like the band members personally. However, as musicians they rock.

Music either moves you or it doesn't, and for some reason I feed off of the emotion when I listen to tool.

Turok, the first "first person shooter" game I ever played on the computer.

It's interesting to note how many helicopter pilots we have on here. My roomate is a heli instructor and I have about 3 hours of heli time (We are both 20). I got my private fixed wing about 2 years ago and have about 100 hours of fixed wing time. Now I can never fly a cessna again, it's just too boring. Robinsons and hillers are much more fun.
