    There used to be this weird dial-up online service provider called AOL, and Grancey and I joined when we moved from Alabama to Iowa 24 years ago. We were pretty homesick at first, and the AOL rules specified that each screenname had to be exactly 10 characters. Grancey came up with warrrreagl while trying to stretch "war eagle" into 10 characters. I took that name and have used it as my online presence everywhere I go.

    Somebody at the old TFP did this for me many years ago.

    I remember aol (and dial-up.) They had some weird rules. When I had it in ~2000 I was a dancer and used 34dgirl@aol and one of my sisters was kate777. I didn't stay with them long, but went to earthlink and then had my own domain for a couple of years.

    Those were the good (and S L O W ) old days.

    I just checked, and my old domain (34dgirl.com) is available. I'm surprised that some titty fetish site hasn't grabbed (heh-heh) on to that.

    buzzgunner 180 gr. of diplomacy

    The term "buzzgun" is slang for a submachine gun. Consequently, a "buzzgunner" is someone who uses/owns a "buzzgunner". My wife and I own several of them (HK MP5, IMI Uzi, and Lanchester Mk II, among others) and (when we were younger and more athletic) used to compete with them. (We both have handfuls of 1st place ribbons from those competitions.) In addition, I was the full-auto program director at our local gun club (one of the largest clubs in the state) for over 9 years. Oh, and... it's the license plate on my four-wheel drive.
