New here but love this stuff. I see Sundog and Chak and some other FAers have switched over to here.  

Use to be scoots in FA. I just look like someone named scooter. But scooter was taken so I went by scoots6. Then joined HARD squad as HARD_SCOOTS ( which someone said reminded them of their dog after it takes a dump, LOL ) Then people kept messing up my nick and calling me SCOUT. So after while I realized, I kinda fly like a SCOUT. Sneaky and also like to escort buffs and SCOUT ahead for nmes. Now I am HARD_SCOUT. hdscout in the game AH.

Also have some Cherokee Indian ( not much but enough, heh heh ) in the blood.

Well OK! the REAL story is my girlfriend thought that SCOOTS was a lame nickname and childish so I changed it... LOL  )

HARD_SCOUT

Was Grim Reaper in AW3, Callsing was Riper, can only get 5 letters in the box so missed the other P in the name. Couldnt get Ripper in this game was already takin and tried many others, Spent forever to find a name. So The White Sox wone the World Sieres Last year and found that A short callsign was qwicker to typ for 6 calls so took the name Sox.

 White Sox won the series last year? What planet was that on?

 I know we had a cold spell for a bit last year but I don't recall Hell being frozen over when I looked out the window.  

 I know, I know....a Red Sox fan has no right to ridicule anyone concerning World Series victories.

LOL I know that I should get a life, because I DID read all the posts in this long m*f*
Well... a long time ago long before I startet flying Flightsims, I needed an alias because I was active in a lot of newsgroups on the usenet. I had my big green Amazone Parrot walking around on my keyboard (which could make my newsreader do strange things), so I took the name GreenBird after him. 1½ year ago when I startet flying EAW online, I just continued using the name.  
When I signed up for AcesHigh I found out that GreenBird was one letter too long, and took the name GrinBird instead without thinking about it. Later I have found out that its maybe better than GreenBird and consider changing to GrinBird in EAW-community newsgroups and ICQ too.

Grinbird you and I might be the only ones to have read this all the way through. I felt obligated, you don't have that excuse.  

I also heard that if your post gets to 100 you get a free month of Aces High.

I used to race stock-cars semi-pro here in atlantic Canada.  I was on an IRC channel talking with other stock-car drivers and crew about setups for the chassy I was running.  Of course Lefturn was already taken, so I substituted a "ph" for the "f", and "Lephturn" was born.    It kind of stuck, and some of my buddies started calling me that in other things.  When I logged on to Warbirds for the first time way back in 1.01 I already had the handle, and used the 4 letter version of "leph".

Go fast, turn left!  Oink!

And she took a round coming 'cross the Channel last trip
I was thinking 'bout my baby and lettin' her rip
Always got me through so far
Well they can ship me all over this great big world
But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl
I'm taking her home with me one day, sir
Soon as we win this war"

Well, i came up with mine when i first got this computer.  I was signing up with an isp and needed an email address.  Well, since I teach math and I am terribly unoriginal, I came up with Mathman.  I ended up using it as my callsign/nick in all the games I play online.

I came up with mine, a shortened version of Leatherneck, due to the fact that I am a retired Marine Corps Sergeant Major.  I used to use the nick Marine47 but changed it upon coming to AH and joining the VMA111 Devil Dogs.

"S"ituation  "N"ormal  "A"ll  "F"***ED "U"p

AH was my 1st flight sim and I wanted a call sign which was (A) Airforce Related & (B) would reflect my flying until I got better. (I never got any better)

I always planned to switch to "FOKKIT" after Beta but snafu sort of grew on me.

A great group of guys (and gal) from Air Warrior on Delphi gave me my handle when I started supporting the Flight Sim Forum there for Thrusty.  They all knew my dad, and really like him, so I was dubbed  SOB - Son Of Buzz.  Since I was supporting joysticks, I almost got stuck with the handle of Stickboy, which doesn't fit my stature  , but SOB was cast upon me instead.

"Son Of Buzz", but my squaddies may tell you it means somethin' else!
