Mines pretty simple. Storm chasing is my top hobby that I have the most time and money put into. Since I hate stuff like StrmChsr without vowels, I just went with chaser. Figured it to be better than meso, tornado, or any other storm related name.

Needed to think of something when I first tried out the game.  Tried a few names that were taken so since I live in CO, "Aspen" came to mind and I flew under that for a while.  Took a couple years off and came back.  Aspen is about my least favorite town and sorta sounds like a perfume name so I decided to go with something else.  I shoot a lot and work in the firearm industry and AMAX is a model of bullet.  Short, easy to read and pronounce when getting a check six....which I need a lot of.

"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.

No, that's kappa's boat.  His boat is bigger and has more chicks on it.   :mad:

Use to play this game series a lot. really enjoyed the original and the 2nd, the 3rd one was kinda "meh" and the 4th one was absolutely awful, but they redeemed the series with twisted metal black (still play this one occasionally). haven't had a chance to play any of them past black though.


been using "tmetal" for a while on many different games. It seems rather appropriate for AH as I tend to end my sorties buried under a pile of twisted metal at the bottom of a smoking crater.

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

I still long for the day where the characters from "The Love Boat" and "Star Trek:  The Next Generation" are swapped, with Piccard as Captain Stubing, Geordi as Gopher, Woopi as Isaac, Deanna Troi as Cruise Director Julie, and Dr. Crusher as Dr. Adam and vice versa.

Havermeyer was a B-25 bombardier in Joseph Heller's famous WWII book "Catch 22" whom the other pilots hated because he'd lead them on the straightest, most accurate path to target irrespective of how good a target that made him and his comrades for AA fire. I'm very willing to sacrifice a drone or two to achieve my mission, so I felt the name matched well.
Hopefully the families of the pilots and crew I've gotten killed don't hate me for it though.  :(
