DM because I'm a drunken monkey. Whitey is my nickname (last name is white)

Well

When I was a 2 weeker about 3 to 4 years ago. I did not have any idea how to choose a name, purely cause I was about 12 or 13 at the time. Just click and play was my thing. I was assigned B67891.

Now I flew like this, and when I got my mic my aussie accent and humor got me plenty of friends (and enemies cause of the squeaking!), so they all called me B6.

Well I got sick of being called NUMBERS GUY, so I changed it to B6Dogftr. The B6 was there to make sure everyone knew who it was, I flew like that for a while too, but people called me "Dogfart" so I thought, screw them I will come up with my new name.

An because of my name, Peter Arthur Charles Lawrance. I said, hang on lets use my initials, drop the last name cause its a Gamer Tag and you get PAC.

Pacman = B6Pacman = Famous Australian loudmouth.

There we go  :aok

When I signed up I mistook my account name for my callsign and got it bass-ackwards. I changed my callsign when I came back after a year's break but no one knew who I was, so I switched it back.

Because I find the character Yossarian from Catch-22 rather amusing, and I find myself agreeing with his logic moderately often.

Also I love that book.  In fact, I may just go and start rereading it now.

P.S. My love of the B-25 comes from the book, not vice versa  ;)

P.P.P.S Yes the comments on that video are clean.

P.P.P.P.S. There are no comments.

from the expression Flotsam & Jetsam, which is the name for the debris field left after a plane crash and the wash up on shore after a ship wreck.

one of my favorite metal bands called Flotsam & Jetsam

i joined Aces High as a way to spend more time hanging out with my best friend, (known to you all in Aces High as Paul, Ink, Mortis, and i believe one or two other callsigns) I took the name FLOTSOM (i prefer the "o" sound to the "a" sound in the word) and he took the name JETSOM as kind of a parody of our playing style. always be aggressive and always leave a mess behind.

we were a part of the B.O.P.'s for a short time after i first started playing Aces High, but we left the B.O.P.'s due to differences in playing styles and personal preferences to form our own little squad. It was called SUICIDE DWEEBZ, our motto was "BLOOD OR BULLETS" as those were the only acceptable reasons for RTB. It was our way of ensuring that we never got score hungry, as we would almost always assuredly die every time we took to the sky.

we would live up to our names....

Three Reasons, mainly.

1.The Bobcat (Thusly Wildcat) is the animal of Kentucky, I love them, their looks and their mannerisms.
2.The Kentucky Wildcats are my favorite team, Women's BBall, Men's Basketball, Football, you name it, I love it. (Except baseball, I never got into that sport, I'll still root against any rival teams that try to beat us.)
3.The F4F and F2M are some sweet rides in the game.

Add in my squad, The Freebirds, and you get (Now in-game) FBWldcat.
