better yet, let's guess where the nick comes from before it gets revealed...


Skuzzy = SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) ?

only computer geek would know that (and a pretty old dude at that)

I was a transplant from AW. In AW I was ->SUN and when I signed up for AH, I thought AH had "kill macros" like AW had.....so I chose Nuke as my handle, expecting to tie the name into some "clever" kill macros.

Anyway, Nuke is my original AH handle. I'm "Crumb" now in AH.

Skuzzy can correct me on this but I think he designed the first or one of the first Adaptec SCSI controllers. The 1510 maybe?

I was looking for something to go with my last name which is Sides back in '90 when I started playing AW. I went with Ironsides which I later shortened to Iron. My ID was 1253 I believe.

After the 1968 Pontiac GTO RA 2, the hotest pontiac from that year and one of the hottest cars of the year.

When I worked at ThrustMaster, one of my jobs was to do support in various online forums.  One of them was Delphi where a big group of AW dweebs hung out.  They were a foul, smelly group of nerds, and I was just an innocent kid full of hope and promise.  They branded me with a handle, S.O.B (Son of Buzz - Buzz was my father and they knew him), then planted the seed of depravity that helped grow me into what I am today.

So, if you see one of the CAF dweebs online, or anyone named BeBop or Shebop, you can blame them.  ;)

I forgot the story behind Creamo's handle, and the story about the stewardess, but it was a good one.  Spill it Creamy, or I'll put Gordo's posting spree on our BB to shame!

Ok...

Many moon's ago, I found myself in need of a new cpid for Air Warrior.   So, I grabbed a dictionary, closed my eye's, opened it and stuck my finger on the page.  Turns out, my finger landed on "Tumor".   At first I thought "oh hell, thats terrible", but then I reflected on the fact I'd had 2 real "Tumors" surgically removed, I figured it fit.

I remember Creamo's, SOB.

Had to do with a prank about group masterbation, a task, the yelling "Creamo!" upon completion of said task, the lights being turned on, and a dawning soul wrenching realization.

I have no idea what my name means.

I was Glans in AW for a long time but they finally figured out what that was and made me change my name.
