[quoheleth]

The book of Eccleasties in the Old Testament was written by Quoheleth, which comes over into English as "The Preacher." I'm a pastor. I was "Preacher_man" on TheHighRoad, but that got confused with one of the moderators, "Preacherman," so they asked me to switch.

I'm glad I did...It gives me a James Bond flair...

[MojoTexas]

I originally started using the username "Mojo" online when playing computer games, because I always thought it was a cool word, and because of the Doors song "LA Woman" where he sings about "Mojo Rising", and because I'm also a fan of Mojo Nixon.

However, especially after the Austin Powers movies came out, I started finding that the username "Mojo" was already claimed. Since I am from Texas, I started just calling myself "MojoTexas" or some variant to distinguish myself from the other Mojos out there.

If you're a fan of video games and especially the XBox 360, it's also my username on XBox Live.

[LaserTex]

LaserTex - I was stationed in Korea with the 607 Combat Comm Squadron (1 yr remote with follow-on to "my final assignment" in San Antonio. I was supposed to go to the Engineering and Installation Squadron at Kelly AFB.) I had to fly home on a hardship (father died 3 days after "partying like it was 1999 - Jan 3, 2000). I was on the side of a mountain in Korea, playing "the satellite will fall out of the sky at midnight 1/1/2000 - aka Y2K bug". I was supposed to go visit them on the 7th of january, but he crashed that party by dying. After the funeral, flew back to San Antonio where the family was living in our first house. 30 yr mortgage and all. Thought I would go see where I was going to be working, so i drove out to Kelly - Jan 2000) Found the buiding but the flagpole was bare, grass to the hip, chain around door, closed. No question about it, closed. # weeks later I am back in Korea, telling them that the location I am to report to in June 2000 is ...closed. After many months of me telling and them debating, it was discovered, 22 days prior to my departure from Korea, that the E&I Squadron at Kelly was ...closed. AND, I was going to the Combat Comm at Tinker... house in San Antonio - work in Oklahoma...a heckofa commute. After some frantic work by our Chief Master Sergeant (they ROCK!), I was transferred to the Air Force Research lab, Optical Radiation (LASER) Branch, Non Commissioned Officer In Charge. I was going to be a LASER Technician in Tex...LaserTex.

Daily name is Doug...
