No offence intended. But now that it has been published, I suppose you'd always be the #01 Shopper at least for Guncrasher and me here on the forums. Let's just hope we don't misread when giving a chk6 warning.  :t
There was no offence at all !!    :salute it is only spelled wrong on the bbs not ingame ! I don't get mad at things .. It's all good !!

I've been an avid rock climber for over 20 years and a professional guide for about 17 of those years.  Seemed like an easy callsign.  I was told that I needed to change it to "chunks" after hurling in the back of a friends RV8 and leaving my personal mark on the interior.  For what it's worth I managed to get chunks on both the pilots rudder pedals and the elevators!  That was a record for me!

I am a photographer and have used a lot of Nikon Gear so I just used NikonGuy.  I recently changed my name to RZ67 which is my all time favourite camera Mamiya RZ67 ... and no I will NEVER EVER change my name to CanonGuy, what does that tell you, lol.

You prefer a straight machine gun package?  :D

Used to be Stoliman because I drank too much.

When I gave that up I switched to Deke in honor of Deke Slayton, one of the original Mercury 7, and because it is one syllable and easy to say/hear on the radio.

When I started playing Air Warrior back in the late 1980s you had to create your own in-plane color artwork (in my case, for an Amiga 1000 PC).  Prior to learning the plane set, and thus in complete ignorance, I decided that the P51 was the plane for me.  So, I bought a Squadron/Signal paperback on the P51 with color illustrations.  I liked the color scheme on Major "Deacon" Hively's P51b, so I decided to use "The Deacon".  This carried over to AH as "TDeacon".  So there...

Its from a song iKo iKo and have been iKo since 1995 Air warrior days http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wNSHPQj0W8 and its about to Indian tribes fighting and the words just happened to fit the game also like burning down flags and the chiefs all dress in green and Red like your home country.
My 1st hearing of it was done by the Grateful Dead witch i have seen many times  :cool:

Words:

My grandma and your grandma were Sit-tin' by the fire. - My grandma told Your grandma "I'm gonna set your flag on fire."
Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now ! Hey now ! IKO, IKO, un-day Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-n?. - Jock-a-mo fee na-n?
Look at my king all dressed in red IKO, IKO, un-day. I betcha five dollars he'll kill you dead Jock-a-mo fee na-n?
Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now ! Hey now ! IKO, IKO, un-day Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-n?. - Jock-a-mo fee na-n?
My flag boy and your flag boy were Sit-tin' by the fire. - My flag boy told Your flag boy "I'm gonna set your flag on fire."
Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now ! Hey now ! IKO, IKO, un-day Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-n?. - Jock-a-mo fee na-n?
See that guy all dressed in green ? IKO, IKO, un-day. He's not a man He's a lov-in' machine Jock-a mo fee na-n?
Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now ! Hey now ! IKO, IKO, un-day Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-n?. - Jock-a-mo fee na-n?


"Iko Iko" is a much-covered New Orleans song that tells of a parade collision between two "tribes" of Mardi Gras Indians and the traditional confrontation. The song, under the original title "Jock-A-Mo," was written in 1953 by James "Sugar Boy" Crawford in New Orleans. The story tells of a "spy boy" (i.e. a lookout for one band of Indians) encountering the "flag boy" or guidon carrier for another "tribe." He threatens to "set the flag on fire."

Crawford set phrases chanted by Mardi Gras Indians to music for the song. Crawford himself states that he has no idea what the words mean, and that he originally sang the phrase "Chock-a-mo," but the title was misheard by Chess Records and Checker Records president Leonard Chess, who misspelled it as "Jock-a-mo" for the record's release.

"Jock-a-mo" was the original version of the song "Iko Iko" recorded by The Dixie Cups in 1965. Their version came about by accident. They were in a New York City studio for a recording session when they began an impromptu version of "Iko Iko," accompanied only by drumsticks on studio ashtrays.

Simple enough answer.  80th FS Ace "Corky" Smith bringing in his P38G single engine.

Considering how many times I do that if I get the 38 back at all, "CorkyJr' seemed appropriate.
