My call sign when I was a radar guy in Thailand... long ago.
I used My Rank in the Corps and three letters of My first Name.
Its a paintball gun, and the number 07 which was on my jersey when i played. Been using the same name since I began with "Mr Gore's internet" in 1996

Very creative legelegel. You should have a side job of creating avatars for the forum participants.

Let me know if you would like for me to tweak this image or have me go in another direction.
It was my CB "handle" from back in the 60's... Everything else I tried was taken. My sign off went like this.... 3's to he's and 8's to the she's, ... this be the Rogue Wizard,... Based and stationed on the evil side of the moon....we're gone.
Well, since you asked...
My user name is obviously an acronym.The abbreviated phrase itself, just 4 words, comes from a long-standing inside-the-family joke.
The phrase in question was originally voiced by my dear wife (fiancée at the time) while we were trying to eat out at a local Italian restaurant after she had just come from a very long, hard, frustrating day at work. Too bad for us that we had run into an elderly nutcase waitress who wanted us to do things her way rather than our way.
I was baffled by the nutcase waitress's strange behavior but my dear wife thought it best to appease the waitress by doing things her way rather than ours. My dear tired wife felt that to do otherwise would embarrass us.It was the strangest, damnedest, funniest experience I'd ever had in any restaurant before or since.
Later, I related the bizarre experience to my kids and their spouses. We all had a giant laugh over it. Once my wife was fresh again and thinking straight, she saw the insane humor in it too. In time, it became a family "battle cry" of sorts... brought up at every meal we have ever eaten together since as a family in an Italian restaurant.
If anyone ever guesses the phrase, I will tell the rest of the crazy story. There is more to it, but I better stop here while I'm ahead.![]()
