where did you get your callsign?

[canacka]

Got mine from friends and teammates while playing baseball as a kid.  They'd say, "He can knock the ball out of the park every time!"  You know kids, they started mixing it up, saying it faster and in different ways and then ended up with the nickname canacka.

[Dichotomy]

di·chot·o·my
   /daɪˈkɒtəmi/ Show Spelled[dahy-kot-uh-mee] Show IPA
–noun, plural -mies.

division into two mutually exclusive, opposed, or contradictory groups: a dichotomy between thought and action.

When I worked for Philip Morris as the National Event Coordinator for their country dance contest.  We were in a meeting in New York and the Director of Marketing jokingly said 'hey when we go to the clubs (my name) can teach us how to country dance'
'No actually I can't'
'Can't dance never bothered to learn as I was always DJ'ing'
he give me a long look and says
'So, let me get this straight, you're running the worlds largest amateur dance contest for the worlds largest cigarette manufacturer and you can't dance and don't smoke'
'Pretty much'
'Boy you're just a walking talking dichotomy'

And that's been me since.   

[Treize69]

Was originally (and for about a decade) Treize, after my favorite anime character.

Briefly changed to White13 when I was exclusively flying in the AvA and running Grupul 7 Vanatoare. Changed back when I went back to the MA.

Currently, after a long hiatus, back under the callsign 2Dragoon in honor of the unit I reenact, the Second Continental Light Dragoons.

i tried learning to line dance once. the bar i was at had 3 bars within. i tended to go to the lest crowded one.......there were about 5 of us there. the batender insisted on trying to teach us, even though she knew we were all drunk.

 it wasn't pretty. 

[Mongoose]

The first flying game I played on the computer was Wing Commander.  You had to create a name and call sign for your pilot.  I always like the story of Rikki Tikki Tavi.  So I named my pilot Rick Tavi, and his call sign was Mongoose. 

I used the same call sign for War Birds, and now Aces High.

 

[stroker71]

First name here was Stroker1...was a mistake ment Stoker.  How the "r" got in there I dont know. Second name was Duhasst after the RamStein song...Only that song was actually duhast but no one really cared. WMBohica came from letting Wrag (Jesse) name me if he came back to the game after he quit.

B= Bend
O= over
H= here
I= it
C= comes
A= again

[68Wooley]

Major Stanley Wooley - Royal Flying Corps, Western Front 1916 to 1918. Principle charcter of the book 'Goshawk Squadron' by Derek Robinson which, along with all his other books, is highly recommended.

[Penguin]

I fly under Penguin, since all of the names from the Redwall http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redwall[/i]]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redwall series were taken.  I figured that animals were next on the list, and penguins never seem to have any luck these days with the melting icecaps.  I decided to pick it in order to showcase what may be a soon-extinct order and family.
