Before HIHUMMER beats me to it. I too rode the short bus to school. I wore a helmet too. There, it has been said.

You guys will never guess how I picked mine.

STEVERH, your band ****ing rocks man! I'm big into the "underground" rock scene here in Denver and just checked out your site....... You guys sound really good man!~ </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Thank you very much man!!! We're busting our asses trying to get to bigger stages! Let me know of any places I can promote in Denver! I'd love to get a gig and be able to hit the slopes the same day!!! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Bluebird Theatre, Ogden, and the Fillmore Auditorium. Best places in Denver for up and comers.

The best "Hollywood" radio call sign I ever had. Battle because it was the 2d Squadron 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment call sign, Bugs because, at the time, I was a Nuclear, Chemical, Biological warfare officer (Kick their ass with bugs and gas... kind of like calling the surgeon Doc)...hence BattleBugs.

Global Warming. I do my part, do you??

I like hockey.

I just learned how to add. Thought it would be a great idea for a Hummer Commercial.

Mine is an anagram that represents a less than honorable person from the NW. PARAGON = PAGAN, OR

Butt hurt still?

You seem to be the only one that is still pissy. Everyone else understands why things were the way they were.

PhilD has a similar story but it was him in WWII communicating for the Brits </div></BLOCKQUOTE>And it was Great Great Great Uncle PhilD and the Boer War. He inspired the sonnet line, "some corner of a foreign field, that is for ever England." after he fell and died in some corner of a foreign field, after been attacked by forum heavies posing as bitterenders.

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I skipped all that.

Mine came from the grand old days of computing, when we still used mainframes.

I was working for a government contractor, and the go-to guys that really knew the mainframes best (DEC VAX 11/780's, 11/750's, and the newest 8974's) were unofficially nicknamed the "Beastmasters".

I was added to their unofficial ranks when I was optimizing the distributed cluster to finish a project in time and I ended up eating 90% of the cluster's cycles - just for me. Messed up all the other engineers and programmers, but I got my research stuff done in time!

I've had the nickname online in some way, shape, or form since the mid 80's. And I still have all of my VAX manuals on my bookshelf. I still can't bear to toss them.

Holy geek-speak!!! Did you get wood typing that?

Heh...I get wood over a lot of things! Hummers being one of them.
