Contrary to popular (or not so popular) belief, my name isn't really Max Sheridan. That is, in fact, my "porn name".Big Smile [:D] My name is actually Mark. I got the"formula" for my "porn name" from my favorite morning radio show....Bob & Brian- 102.9Milwaukee. Quite a few years ago, they came up with the simple but ingenius formula: porn name= first name--the name of your first pet that was the same sex as you + last name-- the name of the first named street you lived on. In my case--- Max the mutt + Sheridan Rd. = MaxSheridan

Try it for yourself, it can yield some funny results......especially for women!Big Smile [:D]

My avatar, I try to change it up once in a while, the latest is a sign I found online showing how government thinks we're all idiots. Come on, "road is wet when raining"!? DUH!Big Smile [:D] What a waste of taxpayer dollars!Big Smile [:D]

Mine is from my days playing mechwarrior 3 multiplayer on gamespy arcade about 8 years ago. I started using a mech called "Puma". In the fluff story of the Battletech universe, the puma is one of two names this mech has, the other is "Adder". hence the name, Puma_Adder. the underscore is just becaus the program wouldent let me have any spaces.
Some people spend their whole lives wondering if they made a difference. Gundams don't have that problem.

TailspinTom comes from the name that the line man, who worked the flight line on the small airport that I lived on as a kid, gave me.  My current avatar is me sitting in a Piper Cub back in 1955.  My avatars, that I change from time to time, reflect my association with aviation or my time in the USAF.

 Navy/Marine medic is called a corpsman. The Marines have many names for us, but when they need you they scream out Corpsman! My avatar is the Caduces, the winged staff with serpents.

All gave some and some gave all.

My screen name is pretty obvious as is the avatar. I spent almost 12 years in the USAF and worked on several different airframes on the flightline. C-130's, KC-135's, A-10's and F-4G's mostly.  Of all the birds I turned wrenches and crewed on, the Wild Weasel was my favorite with the A-10 running a close second.  Hence the name and avatar...

Lol!!! I thought it was Nobama? Laugh [(-D]. you forgot Stalin! Sorry. My avatar/screen name is pretty self-explanitory. Boba Fett, my favorite character from Star Wars (of which I am a HUGE nerd by the way) is just about my screename for every video game I play. Now online is a different story, as it is always taken (I was shocked when I got it here!). I use a bunch of different screen names on online stuff but I have one favorite, for Runescape, I have TheDoog7! A small homage to the great Doog! (right now, I'm only lvl 22...Sad [:(] I'm working on it Doog!)

My screenname is my first and last name initals, mg, then comes my name Michael in Swedish, mikael. Hence you get mg.mikael. No, I'm not Swedish, but because everyone loves them....Whistling [:-^]especially the women. That's why I chose to go with that language.

As for my avatar, you wouldn't believe how many people ask me if she comes in full scale. LOLBig Smile [:D]  My avatar is of the character Cameron Phillips, a terminator from the TV series Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Cameron Phillips is played by the very, very talented actress (my favorite), Bow [bow]Summer Glau.Bow [bow] She also had the role of River Tam in Firefly (a tv series) and the movie Serenity, for those wondering.

I chose "subfixer" because I fix submarines (aircraft carriers, too) nuclear reactors. Well, I used to do the actual fixing, now I just watch and make sure the other guys do it without causing a radioactive mess. It's a living.  

My avatar is of the USS Greenville in Drydock 1 at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard.

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

My screenname is just the fact that I like my British heritage and I wanted my name in there smoewhere.  Tempestjohnny    noone calls me Johnny anymore though.  My avatar is the Union Jack again for my British Heritage.  I was born in England but raised in the US.  Father is English, mother is Syrian.  Beat that combo.

My screenname comes from my time with a LRS unit when I was often assigned as the "stickpusher" (last man out the door) on jumps. The avatar is from the "Private Murphy's Law" series of comics of a jumper exiting. I just loved that image.

Um, yesBlush [:I]Thanks for your reply to my PM.  I feel a little silly now,and should have figured it's a name run together.  But I was a little punchy at the time. By the way dixie's real cute.

My screen name is a nickanme from University (6 Dave's in my first year classes - we all got a nickname lol) followed by my initials.

My avatar is in memory/honour of my Uncle who was a crew member aboard a Halifax bomber in the last months of the war.  The Nose art is from his aircraft, PT-O 420 Snowy Owl Squadron.  I'm still waiting for a new mold 1/72 Halifax so that I can build his aircraft.

Mine is simple.  I'm a Tolkien fan, back when I was in highschool and middle school (when I first got the interwebs) I took this as my Aol screen name, and it stuck with me through everything.  If you ever see a Smeagolthevile online, theres a 99% chance its me (except on Valve's gameing system 'Steam' then its Dr. Smeagol)

The avitar is just a knitted doll version of one of my favorite Mechs the Acguy, I found online

My screen name here, and everywhere else online is Cardshark_14.  My family has a tradition around this time of year where we all get together and play hearts.  We have a lot more cut-throat of rules that are common in Indiana, but aren't included in the MS or Hoyle versions of Hearts. For as long as I can remember, we've played a nickel a point.  So, games are very lively, and you get good really quick.  I started winning my fair share around the age of 12, and someone called me a cardshark.Cool [8D]

 

now you bring back memories.  hearts and eucre.  nickle a point for hearts and for eucre it was quarters.  spent the better part of three years dodging classes to play pool and cards.

The photgraph in my avitar is the base photo used for U2s Joshua Tree Album (the greatest album ever!)

Desert Rat seemed appropriate. Always being more a desert person, I knew one way or another I was gonna end up somewhere in the Southwest. I guess it sounded like the best idea at the timeBlush [:I]
