First two letters are intials. "464" is the old Air Force specialty code for bomb disposal.

Department and badge number. I have had to write it on every ticket, summons and warrant I have issued for the last 15+ years so it is easy to remember.

I figuered it was easier than my State ID# that is on my court notices every week: NJ01230003658

You know, I could never find a way to (mentally) pronounce it as I read so I kinda began associating it with "Ruptured Duck". Sorry. [:D]

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

Good, remind me when it is yours ... the last two years I have completely forgotten mine [:D]

time to get your prescription renewed...

lol
ok

Tally short for Tallahassee where I live as well as running up a tally of "kills" in the games I play. 662 is month/year of birth to remind me so I don't miss it like Frag!

My real name, Guillaume, was too hard for all the englishmen at the institution which I attend to pronounce, so they shortened it to Gnome. A few weeks later, I had to think of a good name for an Orc Warlord (for Warcraft III), and so Boss Gnome seemed like a good choice.

Invernomuto = Wintermute in italian.
Taken form Gibson book "Neuromancer"

Bye

Title of a sex pistols song. Used it ever since i mudded online at ronin.

Jaws came from the tall guy in the James Bond movie. If you see me and see what the dentist did in my mouth.. you will understand. The 43 is from the unit I served with in one of my Bosnia tours.

I needed a name for a D&D character and was playing the board game Marita-Merkur at the time and saw the island of Skyros. So my new magic user became Skyros the Blue. All MUs needed a color back then, thank you Gandalf the Grey. So I shortened it to Skyros to use here.

Hum... Maybe one of my favorite pastimes in Michigan in the fall...

It's my job.....[8D]

You mean you're not sure?

Spooky was the Fox Mulder's nickname in the "X-Files" TV-series ... and I really loved this show (at least the first seasons) [;)]

Good stories! Some of you may "need" counseling[:D]

Grotius -- Hugo van Groot -- was a Dutch philosopher who is widely regarded as the father of modern international law, which is my field. His most famous work was called "On the Law of War and Peace."

And his thoughts on the law of the sea are called the "Grotian notion of the ocean". [:D]

Sonny has been my nickname IRL every since I can remember. I'm a III and with dad and grandpa around they needed something to call me so as not to get me too confused when my dad or grandpa was called so I wouldn't have an identity crisis.

I'll give you guys a half of a guess on mine.

I wanted to use the same name I use on the Paradox forums which is Garuda (a mythical beast) but the matrix forum wouldn't let me. So I was stuck for a name. I then suddenly remembered an old mate we used to call fudpucker and decided to use it. A fudpucker was a cocktail drink that this old friend once got horrendously drunk on when we were on holiday in Corfu.
