TexasAggie


Do I REALLY need to explain this one??

Okay....I graduated from Texas A&M in 1995. I'm also from Texas.

Welcome to the forum! How "northeast" are you?


Thank you. Glad to be a part of the forum.

Hunt County.

[Hos]

Hos is an acronym for HimOverSin ...as in God. Pronounced Hoss, like the guy from Gunsmoke (not to be confused with the "ladies of the night.")

[longtooth]

Welcome aboard Hos, & you are sure among friends. I do like your acronym.
Glad to have you.

[TexasRedRock]

I got my name from my Jeep. I bought her between my 2nd and 3rd tours in Iraq. Jeep calls her color Red Rock Crystal PeralCoat, so I named her RedRock. She is my first vehicle purchase in the state of Texas, I stuck the name on her and she started to run better. (in the early stages >5000 miles) she was having some electrical issues.

[YellowTJ]

YellowTJ is also a Jeep thing. It's yellow and it's a TJ model, love that thing!

[rodbender]

I used to be into drag racing, before the days of rev limiters. Back when, if it wasn't a 4 speed it wasn't a "real" drag car. I had a run of missed gears and broken axles and exploding driveshafts and needless to say, I bent a few rods (and crashed a couple cars) in the process. Frustrating, but one heck of a lot of fun. My first computer was a XT turbo, 10 meg processor, put it on turbo and it raced to 12 meg. Man, that was flying back then. My handle was Moses back then, but that's another story altogether.

[DONT TREAD ON ME]

rodbender,
Your name has a much better story than mine.

XtremeDuty.45...thats what I carry a XD .45 Boring but all that I could come up with.

[TxDrifter]

Texas Drifter has been my CB handle for years. Based it off an Uncle of mine's who went by Arkansas Traveler. Since I was traveling back and forth between Texas and my duty station in Colorado it worked and has stuck with me ever since.

[longtooth]

Good screen name & welcome aboard.

[BrassBullets]

I just thought mine sounded cool. Jbird, when I hear that name it makes me think of the East Texas Jay Bird or the Blue Jay.

[Purplehood]

Okay, this is a strong indication of my lifelong affiliation with Nerd-dom.

During my first tour on Okinawa back in '79 a whole lot of jarheads and squids used to play Dungeons & Dragons at the Futenma Air Station base chapel annex.

Purplehood was my main D&D character name, for which I had my brief 15 minutes of fame amongst that august crowd.

[Assassin]

Mine originated on the TexasBowhunter.com forum. I love bowhunting; it fits perfectly with the definition of 'assassin'.

assassin - one who kills by surprise attack

From there, I just try to keep the same name so I don't have to remember too many.

[Taxman]

Well mine is not that creative, just a living. I am one of the good guys i.e. not a gov't employee
