Mine comes from a character in an episode of Bugs Bunny...Sir Loin of Beef.

Makes a nice acronym too..

It had to be a dog. A lazy, good for nothing hound that was as smart as it was hard headed

So far I'm still working on the smart part:p

It's an old latin phrase us/army sigs guys used to have. It means:

Volo Regno Ursi Tactu Honeste

Fly with Speed
Be supreme over all
Lead
Be silent
Honour

Just in case you were wondering...

Pollock, not the fish but the ethnicity. I was always called it in high school. Proud of it!

Well I used to play alot of Steel Panthers III. I just loved being the Russians. At the end of each turn the names of the troop leaders who successfully rally are flashed on the screen. One was named Zapkin. I liked it. Lt. Zapkin or something. For some reason I just liked it. Weird isnt it? Maybe i was a zapkin in a former life????

My call sign stands for Search And Rescue.

It's what I do on my spare time when I am not spending time with my wife and son, working or playing AH.

I am attorney, and "JNOV" is a latin acronym used in the law. Roughly translated, it means "justice notwithstanding the verdict."

I used to race motorcycles back in the early 70's and my racing buddies gave me the nickname.

"Thunder"

Back in 1996, I bought the boxed AW from a used SW store. I flew a lot against the drone fighters, but usually found myself at equal energy and running away from the drones.

When I signed up for AW in early 1997, I chose the name Runs From Drones (analagous to Dances With Wolves.) Since there was a five-character limit for the in-flight ID, I chose Runny.

In Feb 1997, when I joined the Skull Squadron, there wasn't enough room for Runs From Drones ^Skull^, so I just became Runny.

I'm a Shill instead of a Skull, but I am still Runny. Every once in a while I think of using my Quake/Half-Life name of Killbilly, but I pretty much stick with Runny.

There was a movie a few years back called "The Final Countdown." It was about a nuclear-powered carrier getting caught in a timewarp back to Dec. 6, 1941. At one point a pair of patroling F-14s go after a couple of Japanese fighters straffing a yacht. One of the fighter jocks says "splash one Zero" when he shoots down the first one.

Hence, Splash1.

Now if I could just shoot down a Zeke.....
