It's that feeling you get when I shoot you down.

Actually it's one of my favorite types of music.

Well most people should get mine, even my in-game is from the same thing! :D
Always been a slight Star Trek nerd.


Also Eskimo, 3rd A/D is no longer named that, X changed to "The Twilight Zone", unless someone else used the name and I missed another memo.  Keeping up with that geezer is hard.

well mine is linked to my best friends name.

together we are FLOTSOM&JETSOM.

it comes from 2 separate places. one is a metal band that both of us like. the second is from the expression " flotsam and jetsam" which is what they call the "wreckage that remains" on the water or washed up upon the shore, especially after a storm or other catastrophe has destroyed a ship or plane. if you knew how many a/c i fail to land on a runway then the name would make perfect sense to you.

we used the O's instead of the a's because we didnt want people calling us "sam" (although now they call us "som's" instead) as well as the O gives the name a strong more defined and bold sound than the a does. (face it it just sounds cooler  :D)

My BBS name comes from when I used to work in a metal shop a great number of years back..
I used to make carabiners, most of which were anodized  :)

My ingame name: Sloburn(couldn't get my old name back but going to call HTC about that)
is actually representative of a couple things... 
1.  SloBurn is a band I listen to..  Think Black Sabbath meets Deep Purple with some anger thrown in for good measure..
2.  I'd like to think 38's burn pretty slow....  ?
3.  I roll my own
