In mocking the most ridiculous form of music, a friend and I made ourselves "rap" names.  Heavy (6'4" 285 lbs) and H for my last name.

theNewB was back when I started in '01 Sat there for a while thinking of a name and said to myself "well im new so theNewB it is" played H2H for a few years and swore i was the only NewB in the game... until one fateful day i met NwBie... then i finally knew i wasnt alone. Moved to the MA had to setup a new account so i stuck with theNewB but just added at 2 at the end. So this game has a good flying NwBie and a crappy flying NewB ;)

When I started Warbirds 1997 I was "save".  

When 6 characters was introduced I became -save-

When I was appointed as a trainer ->  =save=.

Save did not work out in here -  so I became "gr8sh0t" and have been in here  for 2 months or so and have just started  to get used to AH

Fly Ultralights, both weightshifts and ruddercontrolled.
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

::eek::Mine is pretty obvious..... named after a big, ugly Wookie from a movie that rocked the world in the mid 70's. Star Wars.
I always liked Chewbacca. In game, I'm A8Chewie. A8 being my squad uniform, Aces & Eights. The name Chewie is also my real-life "nick-name" given to me by some old co-workers. I had pretty long, dark brown hair and a thick full beard at the time. I came in late for work one morning and my hair was a mess and all over the place. My co-workers thought I looked like Chewbacca for a moment and the name stuck. And stuck it has, going on 12 years.

ByHeck, not as many interoperate my call sign ( By Check {I use a credit card like most of us}) comes from my father.

After he retired in the late 70s, he returned to his youthful poetic nurturing.  He would read his poetry at various senior citizens locations around the local area.  He was never officially published; however he did make up [photo copied & folded to 5.5”x8.5”] booklets that he gave out to the audience members.  He signed the booklets, “by heck!’.

The family also operated a small craft business for over 25 years, known as “Crafts Byheck!”.  Currently we run a Herbalife business, and you guessed correctly, it is licensed as Herbalife Byheck [ http://www.shopherbalife.com/byheck ]

I am just carrying on a family tradition.
"By Heck"

When we got Aces High and we couldnt make up names, he got a bright idea to call me Sgt. pappy.



Ditto, Beatles Song. And it has a bit of a standoffish sound. Love the song. I desperately looking for a name and said hey, lets look at the Beatles songs.

Been nicknamed Badger over the years in several companies, now most of the guys I work with are Poles and they fought that calling me Borsuk was original. Of course it is Polish for Badger

one could look at it 2 ways........what do you chase a shot of Tequila with?..........another shot of Tequila!

and then again, I was always chasing after it in my younger years.......

thru the years have switched from El Toro, Mezcal, Quervo Esp & 1800 to nowadays Patron Gold.....but these days a good "tieing one on" comes many blue moons apart....;)
