Explain Your User Name

Worked on the Titan Launch sites at the Cape for 20 years (1985-2005, Complexes 40&41). Back when the whole internet thingie started up, the engineers in my office all put "Titan" in our new-fangled e-mail addresses. Bob became "TitanBob",George became "TitanGeorge", and so on. My 1st name is Tom.

Now that The Mighty Titan is no more, they launch Space-Ex Falcons from CX 40 and Atlas V's from CX '41. Watching them launch off of 'our' old pads is kinda like seeing a video of your ex-wife's latest honeymoon. Oh well, time marches on.
 
I am of french blood and culture. My name is Stephen (Etienne). One of my favorite zydeco musicians called himself Beau Jocque, so...
 
On the B-17 flying fortress, and the B-29 super fortress, the "Ma Deuce" .50 cal M2 machine gun(s) were located in the rear of the aircraft. This location was affectionately referred to by the tail gunners as the "deuce caboose".

Mi- Michigan LP- Lower peninsula Troll- the Yoopers (U.P. Folk) like to call everyone south of the bridge trolls. I suppose a little redundant, but hey, is what it is isn't it? ;)
 
Told it before but what's to hurt telling it again.

In honor of the name of my first ship -- the one you never forget -- in a shortened version, and her Coast Guard hull number.

And no, there ain't no "r" in it.....;)
