It's what I drive

 

I'm a database (db) systems geek (with apparently no imagination for a better screen name )

 

<<<<<See location...

 

Just my tag....

 

My screenname was born the day I tried to install AOL on my computer right after polishing off a few 40oz Mickeys with my brother-in-law.

I thought. . ."Boy, I picked the wrong day to do this. . ."

Hence the name. . .


Later,

 

Mine is cuz I'm with (married to) RDY2RAC. His, well what guy (L or not) isn't ready to race. Ok, so I do it too. Just not as often as I'm usually in my Mountaineer.

 

Graduated from Texas A&M University and as everyone probably already knows we are the Aggies. I thought about 1FASTAG, but thought this one would be more generic.

 

Zeus is of course the greek god who whips lightning bolts at people. The Lightning part is obviously what I drive.

Had my music picked out for the ride home upon acquiring my L at the dealer. AC/DC's Thunderstruck all the way home. Every vehicle that I beat/passed/raced, I would yell out "You've been thunderstruck!!", along with the song. It was insane. Emotions were flying. The truck was too cool. My buddy next to me was sailing in the excitement as well, but finally goes, "OK Zeus, settle down a bit over there," after an hour or so of that. Ever since, it stuck.

I'm in the process of creating a decal with Zeus's head a lightning bolt and the words "Zeus's Lightning Rod" around it. Then I gots to figure out where on the truck to put it without looking tacky.

 

Funny thing, everytime I look at this board I try to picture what
some of you may look like, your age, and what you may do for
a living.
I really figured Masterloggie was a logger or, possibly a timber
cruiser for a major lumber company, and that Chickenears owned
a Kentucky fried chiken restaurant. Damn, I missed.
Hey Masterloggie how long ago did you fly the 4's.
And Chickenears, I knew exactly what ears of corn are being of the "hilljack" gender of sort.
I was going to use my old handle, SPUD, which go back to my
days of hanging high steel but got confused while fillling out the
info when I originally signed on and put my given name in by
mistake,. Oh well, Mom would be proud of me for that...

Somebody else already had slowpoke. So I thought, "How does one get struck by lightning?" Lightningrod! Somebody already had that one, too. Well, to shorten the story a bit, I tried a few more obvious choices that were also taken. I've always liked western mythology so I started looking at the different groups of deities. I decided to go with the Norse gods because of their notoriously disfunctional and vengeful nature. "Thor's Hammer" was the obvious choice and I almost went that way. Then I remembered how screwed up Odin was when it came to his temper...."Odin's Wrath" was born. There is no easier way to get struck down than to tick off the leader of the norse gods. His wrath is manifested in the form of lightning and commonly accompanied with, his son Thor's, thunder.

Yeah, I know the reasoning is kinda cheesy; but, this all happened in the course of a few minutes and I still like the handle. So, I'm happy with it.

 

my mom forgot to renew my hooked on phonix subscribtion.... j/k. I'm a huge Metallica fan and when I signed up for AOL many moons ago , every Metallica related name was taken so I said, I know nobody has thought of this......

 

Raise Show Bloodhounds..

 

Hmmmm.... It's a rather short story since my driver's license says "Logan" too...

 

A line from the movie Top Gun. "I feel the need for speed."

 

Cheebmonkey, It is something that has stuck with me since my youth. When I was young I played too much two finger pick up with the cheeb (wackey tabacky...bun....green....etc)

But I am feeling much better now.......
