I use the AFDB too but I do it all mentally.
I find the ectoplasm buildup with tin foil
gets too messy for evereyday phenomenomn.

Are we protected in our package cars since they are aluminum? Sometimes I feel unsafe in thunderstorms.
 

Steelheader

The Fishing UPS Guy
Have two names on here (If I can get my old one back, would rather use it instead). I was originally Steelheader69 on here. It's my moniker on my fishing bulletin boards. I'm a Steelheader (which is a person who fishes for Steelhead) and I was born in 69'. Trust me, have had numerous emails over the years from people thinking I was some sort of porn spammer with the Steelheader69 on my email account. LOL

The NWRiverfisherman is my business name. I'm a professional fly/jig tyer here in the NW. Have had articles published in Salmon Trout Steelheader magazine and have some flies being published in a new book on NW salmon flies shortly. I'm a fly designer also for a major flycompany out of Utah (just design, I don't tie in bulk). Figured I'd stay away from the UPS names and stick with what I normally use on the net. Easier for me to remember my log in that way as well. :laugh:

Man O Man... Don't do that! You're opening a giant CANOWORMS! Sometimes the steward needs to open that can and let the worms see the light.

Two minute Therapist
well my story goes like this; one of my stops dock guys were referring to us the ups crew as losers not to my face till I overheard them. Then I made a comment that Friday, that I only had made $1500 that week. The look on that poor loser was priceless(shock, disbelief, despair), and then they would ask me questions about the pay or benefits but I would never disclose that info. Of course he was just a dock guy, but he was better than me. Ever since then I would get the look U know THE LOOK! :cool::cool:

I have used mine in the past, refering to my U.S. Navy days as a salty sea dog (2 tours in the gulf) only to realize it to be more fitting in this career-coming home with visual dried salt on my browns!

of people using the handle around the web now though.. which is strange.

I didn't put much thought in my User Name. When I decided to register, all the cool names like Wornoutupser, 30andOut, Sendagain, DoubleStandard, Over9five, Toonertoo, were already taken. My first nickname at work was "Crash", I have been also called "Oldtimer" and "OldGeezer". Those were taken too. That evening, my dog that I use as my avatar, was doing what we call a "Victory Roll". He was on his back wiggling back and forth trying to scratch a flea he couldn't get to. My wife made a comment like "look at Freckles, the Scratch King". So I used that.

When I was asked to become a Moderator, I thought about using another User Name, but I figured it would be too much trouble to log on and off. I thought about using "Barney Fife" or "Under9Five". At least I'm honest!:laugh:
And your honesty shows. Thank you.
 

RockyRogue

Agent of Change
My username is two words, actually. Rocky (after the region of the country or UPS district) and Rogue because I'm a rebel:w00t:! Try to stomp on me:ohmy: ??!!? I THINK NOT:thumbup1:! -Rocky

Just happy to be here.
I have fellow TSG techs to thank for mine. We went out into the woods one weekend playing airsoft and you can imagine a what image a 6'4" red headed stepchild lumpering through the woods might conjure up.
 

Captain America

SuperDAD to the rescue
You know the comic book? I agree with the good Captain's philosophy of fighting for what is right and not giving in because then I could not live with myself happily. That and Underdog was taken.:punk:Punk's not dead!
