10-26-2004, 12:06 PM
"Duke" is a family joke. My real name is Guy (I didnt pick it, Dad did-I think as a cruel joke). My wife (an xray tech) called for a patient in the E/R one night, "Is Guy X here for his xray?" A big muscular biker dude gets up & says to my wife, "Don't call me Guy, that's a fag name. My name is Duke!" Of course she loved that, & it's been a family joke ever since to call me Duke. The GG is my initials, and in my own feeble mind, I think Im #1.

Well you asked………..Because I will try ALMOST anything once, (It most be moral) twice if I like it. My father used to be a Police Officer. He is now a Preacher. My husband IS a Police Officer and I am very very WILD. I refuse to grow up! :D

I am a Hospice Caregiver and I take care of people that have less than 6 months to live. Watching people die gives you a whole new respect for life. I LOVE life and always will. So with this said……..LIVE like there is no tomorrow. :p

"chambo" - a nickname taken from my last name to distinguish me from my best friend who has the same first name and a similar last name......guess how many strange looks we get when we introduce ourselves together as "The PHILs." Even though its a pretty common name, people always think we're messing with them.

MTCD -(Midnight Toker Concept Designs)- 01 -(when pronounced as "Oh one" it closely resembles my name Owen)-

Came up with the MTCD when I was 16 (11 years ago) and when I started venturing into the net it seemed to be a great handle as it's never taken, I use it everywhere I go.

It's the way our neighbor would always mis-pronounce our dog's name (Naboo). So whenever he's a bad dog we say it's not our dog, it's his evil twin, Nubo.

Here he is, in Naboo mode

10-26-2004, 04:47 PM
93rd Current was the Aether that Alister Crowley's Holy Guardian Angel was able to speak to him through. It's a long story but interesting. So mine is kind of a joke as well since being the 93rd Current would sort of be like the messenger of god... ;)

Luftwaffle
10-26-2004, 07:20 PM
This is the tag I've been using for years in Counter-strike. It originally came from a Penny-Arcade rant. This comic (http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2002-02-13) was the two creator's Valentine's Day cards to the game developers that made their favorite games of the year. In the card on the right, you'll note that Tycho's handwriting leaves a lot to be desired and it seems as if he wrote "anti-aircraft buttery" rather than battery.

So, one of the site's friends, Batjew, made this post:

buh-buh-bububu-BUTTER
posted Wednesday, February 13, 2002 by batjew
"Anti-Aircraft Buttery"? What is that? For when you're being bombed by toast? Or Pancakes? NO WAIT... Waffles! The Luftwaffles?!!?!?

And was retorted by Tycho with this:

smart-ass
posted Wednesday, February 13, 2002 by tycho
And if the Nazis drop toasted Wheat, or Rye breads? What of baguettes, loser? You underestimate the fuhrer's depraved uberchefs.
(CW)TB

And so, I've been using Luftwaffle or Airwaffle since then. :D

I'm thai...

Like you, I live in Houston. I am half Thai. My mom is from Thailand. My dad is from...uh...that place with corn... oh yeah, Iowa.

Anyways, several years ago my friend Mike needed some help with his 1st gen RX-7. He was fixing it up since the car had tons of issues. He couldn't figure out why it wouldn't run. He had spent a couple of weeks working on it and was very frustrated. I looked at the car and had the issue resolved in only a few minutes. It was something very simple but he just neglected it since he thought nothing of it. He said that I must be some sort of rotary god. The title again popped up when I was trying to help Drkilljoy and another friend get a 2nd gen RX-7 running. It was another small issue that I found. I mostly use the name in rememberance of Mike. He died of cancer not long after. Some people criticize me for using the title because they think is is arrogance on my part. In a way it is but it is mostly for Mike.
