Mine is kind of a family nickname. I inherited it from my grandfather. Some guy in a bar gave it to him and it stuck. Then same happened to me. At least the wahoo part lol. Shcock is my ol ladies last name. Been together for a few years and figure ill take hers considering my family history. So when we get married im just changing my name to Wahoo Schock.
I love my pack and a good community (cigars/Vape) "I'm at the point in my life where if it doesn't taste good,I'm not putting it in my mouth"
Ok so I've had a number of people ask about mine as well so time es-plain Lucy....
When I first joined the boards I had only ever really smoked or been involved with cigars through my Pops and Grandpa and had just been smoking out of their humis or buying singles here and there for years. Was very much wet behind the ears and thought that a cigar was only good if a company rated it 90 or above (Hahahaha MAN talk about being wrong!!!!) I was lucky enough to always smoke pretty dang good stuff out of Pops' humi and most of those sticks were getting 90+ ratings in Cigar Aficionado etc etc. so I figured I'd add that as well as Irishman since that is my heritage. Family immigrated from Ireland years and years ago when we were the Gainer Clan and left our hometown of Gainerstown that had been named for the patriarch (at that time) of our family.
As for the picture, that is me on my wedding day since we got married on horseback at the top of Elkhorn Mountain in Estes Park, CO. Parents took that shot as we left the ranch at the bottom of the mountain and the wrangler guided us up. Just the two of us, the wrangler and the judge that met us at the top. Great day

Irish, that's an awesome wedding story!!!
Thanks Ray, was an amazing day for sure, September will be 4 years married. Starting to think about something special for the 5 year anniversary already. Maybe a newer bigger wedding set.

I'm a huge fan of the Stephen King Darktower series and 007 fanatic.. So..
Stephen King's opus! Wizard and Glass could be a stand-alone feature film. It was by far my favorite book in the series. My story isn't very entertaining. My assigned email at UW was ejgorman@wisc.edu...it just stuck.

not to start any trouble but my favorite king books is Christine. I really enjoy the Dark Tower sereir very much Christine was the first one I read and fell in love with.
My name isn't really a complex story as more of a long one I suppose, about 12(?) years ago I had some rough times and my mom offered to let me move back home, so I packed what I wanted and took a 17+ hour Greyhound trip from Illinois to South Carolina, shortly after moving back in my folks introduce me to this thing called a MMORPG I had never played any form of online gaming at the time, so I was like sure I'll try it. Game was called Anarchy Online it's a sort of futuristic SciFi kind of game with some seriously complex customizations, when I was picking my character I selected this uni breed called an Atrox (genetically engineered to be a brute breed of slaves sort of with no equipment to reproduce) and the template I chose gave the Atrox this big bushy beard and stovetop hat, loving Mel Brooks films I named my dude Hayblinkin, couple years down the road World of Warcraft comes out and like many I jumped ship with some AO friends to go play that, well my first character (and longest played an, d really only character I could ever stick with) was a Gnome Mage, so I went from playing this monster unisex Tank to a tiny squishy Mage and my friend Mots just one day started calling me Hayblet, so now it's my Xbox live name as well, the avatar? I just f$&#ing love Fallout 3.
I have used usaf06 since I entered Air Force back in 97. It has stuck ever since starting with my yahoo email.

That, and I realized my avatar hasn't been commented on. When the forum switched over, I'd been reading a ton of church history and theology. Still am, although more focused on my own faith tradition than the wider scope I was revisiting then. Still, I've always been fascinated by and appreciative of the courage of the anabaptists during the radical reformation. This picture is an engraving depicting the story of Dirk Willems. He was in prison for heresy, escaped, but stopped to rescue the guard chasing him who had fallen through the ice on a lake. Willems was recaptured and executed when he could have gotten away if not for a faith that placed the lives of his captors above his own life.

I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.

Sometimes those itty bitty avatar pictures don't appear large enough for the detail to be clearly defined. Peter said he thought mine was a camel. Believe it or not, for a while I thought your's was a guy on the left reaching for an alligator on the right. I never stopped to ask, or even wonder WHY he was reaching for the business end of an alligator. What's wrong with me?
@Bob_Luken I thought yours was a Camel for the longest time....
Haha after @peter4jc told me that he thought it was a camel I actually did look up a few camel pics and found one that, except for the cigar, was very similar. A few weeks back I changed it to that actual camel pic just to be goofin' around.
And, just in case anyone else is still wondering, I'm not the guy in my avatar pic.
My handle was kind of a spur of the moment thought several years ago. I live in New Orleans I work at Best Buy as a Geek Squad manager. I own most of the cool tech gizmos and gadgets as soon as they come out.

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
Life is too short to smoke bad cigars!!!
Oh when the Blues, Oh when the Blues, Oh when the Blues go marching in!
