|,,|, TO THAT!jailbreak '74....i love the live version. (currently listening to burnin' alive
Burnin' alive, set my soul on fire
Runnin' with a gun, this place is gonna burn
No firewater, or novacaine
No thunderstorm, no John Wayne
No kids to rock, nowhere to run
So watch out 'cause this place is gonna burn

Burnin' alive, Burnin' alive
Burnin' alive, Burnin' alive)
my name comes from my self proclamed title, GEARHEAD, and the size of the baddest motor to rumble out of the seventies--426 Street Hemi.

A day job? Does 8th grade count?[:o)] I like almost anything except country, rap, and most modern pop music [xx(].

It was my original email address, now I just use it for a lot of things. It's my first initial, last name, and baseball number for when I used to play.

Posted by Walter Clot on Wednesday, April 26, 2006 4:06 PM
[:)]When I was in the process of joining and was asked my name, I just gave them my name. When I started reading the forums, I found that many of you have very interesting names. I would like to know the story behind those names.[:0] BTW, my last name is pronounced Clo. I tell everyone that it is like the train goes into the "dee poe", not the "dee pot"! [:D]Whatever, I would like to know your stories. [^]Thanks,

Walter
