Quick Draw McGraw's alter-ego. I do some gaming and the handle has just kind of spread. Used to be Kabong28 and technically now I guess I'd be Kabong35 but of course the 30 has just kind of stuck around. Lots of people who think it has something to do with drugs, which infuriates me, but oh well.

When I moved over from Britain to Pittsburgh PA in 2000, I thought i was going to be seeing as much of America as i could in the (then) two years of my contract. So, BritOnTour kinda described where I was from, and what I planned to do in a very simple manner.

I've been here 12 years now, and lived in PA, OH and now TX. Who knows where i will end up next!

Only chased one Referee to their car while my kids were in sports :rolll Volleyball referee was obscenely bias during a tournament for daughter. We (parents) filed a complaint and believe the referee was not allowed to referee in that area anymore :nono:

I'm a fan of swing music and dance, so my user name comes from a song popular 70 years ago.

The older I get, the better I used to be.

Quick Draw McGraw was a favorite cartoon character when I was a kid. His sidekick, Bobalouie, pronounced his name "qwiks-draw" and I thought is was funny. So to be contrary to ordinary, that is how I came to this as a user name here and elsewhere, too.

Some buddies of mine were working on a nickname for me. One of their wives, with impeccable taste I might add, said, “He looks like a silver fox!” Well, anyone with buddies (at least like mine) will know that a cool name like that, esp. from a “chick”, will not fly. Took them about 15 seconds to butcher silver fox into “grey goose.”

Can't be all bad. My precious 2 year old grand daughter is nicknamed "Goose", though my daughter has never been able to explain why.
