I saw "A Tribe Called Quest" back in 1998... There were 3 opening acts, and the first one was called "DJ Mad Flava". He was horrible, and he had his name all over his shirt and equipment... It became something of a running joke between me and my friends, and I just started using it as an online handle. "13" was always my jersey number in football and lacrosse.

Depending on who you talk to: Belphegor (du louvre) is a story in French, a deathmetal band, a 3 piece punk band from NYC, a demon in Judeo-Christian Lore... (finder of lost keys; provider of inventions; demon of licentiousness)

He/she figured prominently in a manuscript I was studying/translating. The name stuck. I like to think it was my propensity towards licentiousness rather than my knack for finding things.

Well, it is quite obvious, that my personal hero is Colonel John Frost, commander 2nd Battalion, 1st British Airborne, who held the Arnhem bridge for four days instead of two, against two panzer divisions instead of "wounded, old, young and infirm' replacements.

Hence the Red Devils' insignia.

I also tend to lose war games because I get stubborn and refuse to give any ground, and refuse to use gamey techniques. Noble, but doomed. (As UV and WitP are proving to me! Maybe I'll do better with WitP:WPO!)

Just remember, don't give up any ground with your dreadnoughts, unless subs are coming. Then run like the wind [:D]

My psych profiles said I was best suited to be a sniper ... Frag kinda stuck [;)]

Was getting a "spam" address for netscape and all my usuals didnt pan out (they were all taken). So I hit a bunch of keys, took out a couple of letters and added some and Bobs your uncle.

I was "Maddmatt" until Combat Mission came out. Everyone thought I was plagiarizing Matt Faller "Madmatt". I was pissed for awhile. "F*** them," I thought. I'm Maddmatt!

Well, it did get confusing on the Battlefront forums - and my hotmail account that I was using for games, etc, so I tried to set up Crimeguy - I'm a criminal attorney and thought it would be cool. Hotmail already had a Crimeguy, and "suggested" Crimguy for me.

So, I guess Bill Gates named me. [:D][:D][:D]

Off my birth certificate. The military was hell...sockf--ker, sowf--ker, runnyeyed sausagesmoker, redeyed powernapper...[:D]

Another 'Nam vet...[;)]

My study is really a kennel and home to four Pomeranians (the canine variety, not the grenadiers referred to by Bismarck). When I first had to come up with a name, they were in my lap and under my feet. Since five (they at least consider me to be an honorary Pom) makes a good size pack, Pompack just seemed to fit.

Mr. Frag, I got bored and was looking on the birthday counter, and I noticed yours is the day after mine, lol.

Yes, I think getting a nick-name is part of being in the military at some point. My buddies gave me many, the best of which is Boomer which was short for Boomhower(Sp?). If you have seen King of the Hill you will understand where that one comes from.

You speak like an idiot?[;)] Actually, Boomer is the name of the Canadian P-40 pilot (CO)who shot down a Jap Rufe over Kiska.

no Ron, I'm just hard to understand...

Well Ron I'm sure the P-40 pilot had a much better story behind his handle.

Note to self, don't get a transfer if the captain of the USS Pyro's nick is Boomer. [:D]

It's My Name...My First Name in fact[:)]

His actual name is Boomer. I think his dad porked his Mom and gave him his surname.

mmmmm.... Perhaps that nickname was nastier than I thought. Oh well, still beats Buttass and Bajitious...
