What’s in a screen name

Your wife's pet name is to call you a lizard? 🤔 🤣

Simple question, cause I see so many and wonder what the story is. What does your screen name mean.

Mine is simple, it is my nickname throughout a lot of my life. My last name is Cogburn, and I grew up in Arkansas really close to Ft. Smith and Judge Parker’s court. The 98 is the year I joined Uncle Sugars chain gang
When I arrived at my first Army Aviation assignment as a W1, my company commander gave me the Hollywood call sign “Hondo.” I knew Hondo was a cool John Wayne character and as a W1 you could be called much worse things, so who was I to argue? It was later in my career when I started participating in the hunting and shooting forums and I was an AH-64D instructor pilot so I chose Hondo64d as my forum handle.

I was hoping it was because maybe you were from Hondo, Texas.

Here is some useless trivia about Hondo, Texas. It is the place that spawned John Hillerman. He went to a voice coach and learned how to get away from a deep Texas accent and that allowed him to play man roles on stage and screen, including the role of Higgins on the original "Magnum, P.I."

Also, in "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls," the scenes of the african village where Ace endures the challenges of spears in his legs, the small village was built as a set just outside of Hondo.

But, alas, my hopes were dashed upon the hard rocks of reality.

Moderately? Time to reevaluate your ideer of moderate
I live in CO.
Constant exposure to that many liberals has caused a shift in my scaling…….

Plus, you only sniff the glue and last report, had stopped eating it.

Just be glad for the upgrade and be happy.
Or are you too retardent to do even that???
 
No super awesome call sign, no long distance Romulan kills, or even massive amounts of concrete poured🤣 Just a kid that loved Trek and has brothers to this day that call me Spock. Oh and any fans of the show gotta admit Savik and Ta’pol were fuckin hot lol. Fascinating!
Oh yeah? I can one-up that.

My younger brother was born in November of 1966. So, our mother was pregnant with him most of that year. Which was also the debut year of Star Trek. Her favorite character was Mister Spock.

There is an old wive's tale that a mother can mark her child by something she is fascinated with. It turned out to be true. My brother has ears that come to a point. Not quite as sharp as the prostheses they had for Leonard Nimoy, but enough of a point.

One of my favorite bits of trivia is a memo that was circulating at the network. "Lose the guy with the devil ears."

Another useless bit of trivia. In an interview, Nimoy mocks Shatner and accuses of delivering the corniest line. In the funeral service for Spock, Admiral Kirk (later demoted back to captain) says, "Of all the souls I have known, his was the most human."

I guess you had to be there.

Then there's this prima donna... Has to absolutely have soft things to lay on but he's the overdrive. After he tells you about all of his problems he will finally work. Most mouthy husky ever talks back like crazy

Huh. I always imagined you as a dude who loved Sears Toughskin jeans. Who wore their infamously-named size “Husky”. Who drove a semi.

Me? Well I’m a carbon-based life form.

Unlike you inorganic farts in a baked bean factory!
 
Bob Dylan's 115th dream

I was riding on the mayflower when I thought I spied some land
I yelled down to captain Arab, I'll have ya understand
Who came running to the deck and said, "Boys, forget the whale
We're goin' over yonder, cut the engines, change the sails"
