Re: How did you all come up with your screen names?

I am a volunteer firefighter in the town that I live. Have been for many years. (There's the fire part) Love boats, always have since I was a little kid. Fireboat sounded little and unimportant. We all want a bigger boat....AKA a ship. (there's the ship part) The number 1 was due to the fact that the name Fireship was already in use back when I first joined AOL many years ago. Added the #1 and it worked. If you ever see the username Fireship1 on any other fourms it's probably me. I use it for everything. ;)

18R = 18rabbit, the 13th ruler of the Mayan empire, a South American Caesar-type at about the same time as the Roman Caesars.

Re: How did you all come up with your screen names?

In the Navy, people in different areas have different slang names. Engineering = Snipe, Deck Division = Deck Apes, Air Group = Airdales and Combat Systems = Twidget.<br /><br />I was in Electronic Warfare, so I was a Twidget. So named because we spent so much time in the dark.

Re: How did you all come up with your screen names?

I took on my handle because there was a point in my life that being my dogs' dad was about the only reason for me to get up in the morning. Those two meant everything to me, and I miss 'em terribly. I have two other dogs now, but it's just not the same...
