QUOTE: Originally posted by Cthulhula QUOTE: Originally posted by zardoz at the request of Mookie - My 'handle' ZARDOZ comes from title of a sci-fi movie made in 1974. In the movie, Zardoz is actually a huge flying stone head who makes periodic visits to Earth to pick up grain consignments and issue bizarre statements involving the male anatomy. The movie stars Sean Connery as Zed, one of a carefully bred race of supervisors, the Exterminators, who oversee the agricultural labor of the neanderthal Brutals, since in 2293, with most of the Earth's surface off-limits as a polluted Outlands, industrial society has been abandoned. All worship Zardoz. Director John Boorman's ZARDOZ presents the "perfect society" of the late 23rd century, in which no one dies and age is meted out as punishment. I went to see the film one day during my layover on a passenger job in Chicago with a few other rails. Somehow, after seeing the movie, my nickname around the railroad became "zardoz", hence my use of it here in a railroad setting. A very cool film, best appreciated in an enhanced state of consciousness. Did you know that Burt Reynolds was originally supposed to play Zed but had to give up the rold due to illness? I think that is why Connery wore the Burt Reynolds type mustache in that movie.

QUOTE: Originally posted by jhhtrainsplanes QUOTE: Originally posted by admiralh I don't know how interesting this will be, but I'll explain the "Admiral H". It is short for Admiral Halsey. He was William Fredrick Halsey, Admiral, USN (Retired), now deceased. I am distantly related, but was named after him. In high school, I had a science teacher that was a WWII history buff, and he made the connection. From that point on, in his class I was known as "The Admiral". He was kind of a kook, and had me put "The Admiral" on all my tests. Well, to make a long story longer, the name stuck. It is now also my "Biker" name, amongst the folks I ride with. And my CB handle as well. I figure, since I've been branded with it, I might as well use it. Admiral. Damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead. Oh sorry, wrong person. Just couldn't resist.

Well, Pop, you just made my day! Actually, it is very simple. I have a driver - ergo 4 hands instead of just two. You know, co-conspirator! Laughing Mookie!

QUOTE: Originally posted by raakone Ok, since others have told about their names.....ok, I have, but I'll tell here..... Ra'akone supposedly means "Raccoon" in Samoan, even if there are no raccoons in Samoa. Ok, weird obsessions, eh? I liked that Windows explanation. I read that too that O/S 2 and Windows NT essentially have "common ancestry" ~Ra'akone

It was of British Columbia and featured the Skeena. I know this is way across Canada from you. WOW the views were awsome. Very pretty, very nice. If it wasn't so cold I just might become a Canadian.
