USER NAME / AVATAR Tell Us Why

[04EDGE40]

04EDGE40 - For my 2004 Ford Ranger Edge 4.0. Dark shadow gray 4x4 flareside, super cab, 410s, 15x8 Cragar Soft-8s, 31" Nexen Roadian MTs. I get crap for driving a "light" truck, but I love it and it's one tough little bugger!

Avatar - Thelonious Monk. I'm a jazz junkie, he's one of the coolest dudes to ever live, that's pretty much the gist of it.

Piperdown because I used to be in a bagpipe marching band.
Grizzly bear because at work I'm known as the 'Gristly bear'…..gristly meat combined with bear like attitude when I'm poked.

I always wondered about the bear. I figured you were an outdoorsman of some sort.

[Bruck]

Bruck is a nickname I picked up years ago on my local (Detroit at the time) ham radio frequency. When departing the on-air conversation, I'd sign off with something along the lines of, "the preceding transmission is brought to you courtesy of the Voice of Bruck News Service." I later started a blog by that same name, which attracted about 2 dozen readers. I don't update it much anymore.

Avatar: outline of Michigan's upper peninsula, where approximately half of my relatives live, and which is the greatest place on planet Earth ...for about four months of the year

Damn. I thought that was a dead crow.

LOL I was just thinking about that the other day - not everybody would recognize that shape, certainly not many people from outside of MI. So I wondered what else would they think it is? Now I know

Yeah, it's easy to see once it's pointed out, but I really had no idea.

Both: Being an 80's baby, Mike was a huge influence on my life and is my favorite athlete of all time (maybe tied with Ali). He was also one of the people who sparked my interest in cigars. To this day, I apply his sports approach (focus, compete, push yourself, etc.) to various parts of my life. So when I first joined a cigar forum and was thinking of what username/avatar to use, Jordan23 seemed obvious.
