Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

Btw, your name, Straffo, has always reminded me strafing...


Nothing really related I've always  be a good at making typo
straffo == stratford or something like that, in 96 when I decided to use this nick there was a clever joke I've completely forgot :D


@treize : I'll ask santa claus for one :)

spro is short for sprocket

When I started AH in the "air_squadron" airsprocket was too long so shorted it to spro .

sprocket was my real nickname for years just after highschool . Now not many know it but but some still do :aok

Yes and btw it's not pronouned spiro like the V President :cry

When starting my two week trial I quickly found any "cool" names I could think of were taken. So I started out as SEARS. I own and operate a small independant Sears appliance/catalogue store in my town. During my two week trial  was flying between bases and some guy on local channel says "hey guys theres a Sears out here", then a couple of days later I put a message out on country channel asking if anyone needed a gunner, some guy responded " ya, roebuck does." That was it, I decided I needed a name change.When I opened up an account after the two week trial I grabbed a dictionary and worked backwards from Z trying words I thought were interesting until one came up available. I have been VERTEX ever since. Liked the definition also.

Got mine from my old name of 24477. Changed it to TwentyFo because everyone called me 24 for short and I love the TV show as well. Am I still a numbers guy? :confused:

Anyways, Jack Bauer for president.
