- Thread starter Gunfighter14e2
- Start date
In a land far away in later 1965 we were playing tag. Both M60s went down an two of us were carrying M14e2's, after it was over the C/O tagged me with my logon on here. Him making it up, made me smile, but when the first-shirt called me that when we got back, I figured I'd done earned my keep. Not bad for a 18 yo farm boy from Indiana, that day opened other doors. Some of which were good an some otherwise.
Back around 2001 my Kids decided that the Old Fucker has to learn some computer skills and at least be able to do e-mail etc. so they could stay in touch with me other than Land Line, that is sketchy in my area as we are rural, so put me in front of the computer they had used for school. "OK, now what the fuck do I do?"
"Well, what are you interested in?" Me,"Not much other than shootin as far as I can and what is going on with my friends I had in the Army."
My youngest son told me I need a name for this "forum" that he had found and since I was best known around town and everywhere else as Foul Mike that is what was settled on. I think I was member #23 or#24, it has been a while.
Most of what I have learned about computers has come through this site and I am still not worth a shit at it but I keep trying.
When I first started I really didn't know or understand that the replies I was receiving were actually coming from "real people"and not some kind of computer generated text shit. I honestly did not know and it took a while for that to sink in.
And here I am today, Foul Mike, with the potty mouth that cussin just rolls out of his mouth and he says what he thinks and Fuck em if they can't take the truth.

You know you're a packratt
when the stove dies while cooking Thanksgiving dinner and you pull a spare out of storage
or the transmission shop tells you the transmission side of the ECM is dead and you still have the computer the garage replaced because there was a problem with the engine side of the computer over a year earlier.

Yes it is, but this is where I learned it as it was the only thing going back then that really piqued my interest and it went from there.
Otherwise, I would have missed out on a whole lot of things that I now do regularly, like read the News etc.
At the time I was fully convinced that these Fucking computers were a thing being foisted off on the public by the communists.
I named each and every one of the computers that my kids had, first was Stalin then Trotsky and Lenin and Kruchev as they got better computers.
All communistic Mother Fuckers as far as I was concerned.
It took a long while to win me over and I am still not sure that I was not right in the first place, what with viruses and malware etc.
You live and you learn, albeit at a slow rate for me. FM

Sublimation is the turning of a solid substance in to a vapor when heated bypassing the liquid state. Many moons ago I was underage drinking with some buddies when I saw the fuzz approaching and I said it was time to sublimate the f**K out before we get rolled. We escaped and the nick name timesublime stuck.
Longish story...
My Father went into the army and had some skills like knife and axe throwing and bullwhip abilities. This was when Lash Larue was a B movie hero. His army nickname quickly became Lash Laroe.
My online name(s) have always been a tribute to the man who taught me all these things and how to be a man who accepts responsibility for himself.

First rifle my dad bought me in about 1973 was a Browning BAR 300 win mag that was a single shot semi-automatic. Yes there is such a thing, it almost never cycled a second round in, but almost every deer I shot only needed one round so it was a fine rifle cause it always fired the first round. Three different smiths couldn't make it cycle. After I exceeded my life's quota of vodka and whiskey I started making 60-80 gallons of homemade wine every year and tried to brew enough for one bottle per day so needed 300 plus bottles per year. Started using magnum bottles so I didn't have to wash and cork so many bottles. Reloading bullets and magnum wine bottles, then emptying them out at long distance are two of my favorite hobbies - so 300winemag just kinda fit. Spent half my life hunting and fishing, the rest I just wasted...
I'm a redhead (daywalker type, NOT a ginger) as well as I used to chew, and Redman was my callsign back in my USMC days. When I set up my first email account back in the 90s and Redman was already taken, I added the SS to the end for Scout Sniper. Been using it as a user name ever since.
I use my actual name because I prefer not to hide behind a Pseudonym. The asterisk on the end was the result of a 'Hide crash back in the very beginning which required re-registering but prohibited reusing the previous userid. Rather than go with a pseudonym, I simply added a character to the old userid.

Because Sarcasm is my primary language and i try not to take anything seriously except my freedom.
I’m a ginger and I like to hunt. My mom’s family is mostly German descent. Though I’ve heard several translations of the phrase, this is what I stuck with.
Wife's pet name for me (cyrillic: Ящерка). It's Russian for "little lizard" even though I am a big fat grouchy bastard

I'm adept at quick and dirty solutions to common problems a man that hunts/fishes/fucks with electronics/programming/jeeps/owns a home with a pool/etc.
I think I came up with the name after I carved a firing pin out of an old worn out dewalt reciprocating saw blade for a savage mk2 because savage wanted a picture of my DL before they'd ship me a new one.

Many moons ago, I was reading the comments at the bottom of an article. I don’t even recall what the article was about. But there was some dipshit on there just a pissin and a moanin and a bitchin about something. Well I couldn’t stand it. I was going to log in and tell him to “Lighten Up Francis”. So I logged in as Srgt. Hulka and made my post and really pissed him off. So, even though it’s misspelled, I kept the name Srgt. Hulka on any forum I join.
With a few thousand jumps and a few years as a skydiving instructor.... I got into the bad habit of making big hook turns landing and got busted up doing one... while I was out of commission I chose the AOL login Hookturnr way back when and it has been my go to ever since for just about everything
I got drunk in high school and as the resident motor head, drank motor oil... Came in the next week, and everyone (including teachers) was calling me Motor Oil McCall...
