You'll have to find your own clip of Droopy walking.

Now that the shin splints are healed, I'm betting this is more accurate...

Bill because that's my first name, demon because that's the squadron I was in (407 Demon Sqdn)
hence Bill the demon.

My little wirehaired fox terrier ('86 - '01   :'( ) was called Stix. After his death I came up with Stixxy in memory of him. I use it on almost all forums I'm a member of.

I just realised i never really explained why i changed my sn. Or i did and didnt remember doing it..eh..either way One night i decided a change was in order and seeing as i no longer owned the Cavalier Z24 didnt need the Outlawz24 name any longer. How Darkrider came to be the new name...well its partly because of Mad Max and the name of the partner he was supposed to have in the movie the so called "Dark One" and partly because of a dream i had one night that is kinda hard to explain really...

I didn't need to know that...... the vision of you wearing the kilt was enough!  Now you made it even more distressing!!!  ;D

Well, been playing rugby for the past 6 years, and rugger is slang for someone who plays rugby.  That may be well know outside of the states, but here in the US not many people really know anything about rugby.  The 81 is the number of my favorite wide receiver growing up, Tim Brown.

My name is Ben and several years ago there was a SNL skit with some weird guy in an office adding er and ama to there names at the copy machine.  It stuck and when the internet came to me and my friends it was like picking a cb handle so Bender it was. The 01 was added later for my secret love of the General Lee and orange.

   I forget what movie it was from, but there was a class full of high school kids watching a campy sex-ed anti-pregnancy film from the 50's.  Setting of the films' scene is insert-cliche-makeout-site on a bluff overlooking the city, some young motorcyle jacket wearing kid's convertible, moonlit night.  Two teens are in the front seat: the boy looking like a 5 years younger Brando and an all American blonde in a poodle skirt. Our two young lovers are getting hot and heavy.  The following exchange between the two went something like this:
 
"What's the matter, Jenny? Don't be nervous."

"I don't know Fast Eddie. It's just that, well, I've never done this before.  Won't I get pregnant?" 
She wears a pouty, questioning look on her face.

Fast Eddie's face changes from concern to a grin.
"Oh it's okay, I'll pull out."

The class erupts into laughter.

Jenny smiles, and with a silent enthusiastic nod opens her legs.

The class becomes a zoo at this point.

   Cutaway to Jenny in stirrups in the hospital giving birth.


  My last name is Brosius, pronounced as if the i is an h.  And everyone used to call me Broshi in the Marine Corps.  Marines being as macho as we are, jokes and ball busting were rampant.  So after seeing this movie w/ some other Marines,  I was at the mall buying something, talking to some teenage girl working the counter, and someone made the comment, "Oooooh Fast Broshi!!" in a cooing tone.   Hilarious.

Just call me Timmaaaaay!!!

Ecosse: 1) Because I love sports car and prototype racers of 50's and 60's. 2) I'm half Scottish.

Ecurie Ecosse was a formidable Scottish privateer outfit during that time so my username is a tip of the hat to my love for a golden era of racing and to my Scottish blood.
