Explain your avatar and name.

[bootsnthejeep]

Well, I got dubbed Boots my junior year in high school. It's a shorter, more easily pronounced version of my last name. My Biology teacher just busted that out randomly in class one day, and you know how nicknames catch on...

And the rest of it is the fact that my first vehicle when I was 16 was my Jeep CJ7. I still have it, in one form or another, its been thru several major overhauls. We were pretty much inseparable. If you saw one of us, the other one probably wasn't far away. And at least one of us was probably leaking.

Guess my avatar isn't there anymore. Gonna have to look into that... It was a good one too.

[Doby45]

Doby45 is from one of my favorite breeds of dog and my favorite caliber of handgun.

The picture is an image of a pup needing some dental work..

Signature is something my old highschool shop teacher taught me. You can only ever have two of the three, so pick wisely..

[OBIII]

User Name, Orrie Bruce. I am the III and last, ergo OBIII. The OB actually got started back in the Marines in the 70's when I had to sign so many documents, I just started using my initials and a co-worker stuck it on me.
Avatar: I have been a fan of Garfield since he first appeared. I have always been a cat lover, love dogs too.
Signature: The Oath, once taken, is never rescinded. I have more fear of Domestic enemies these days than I do of Foreign ones. However, in the future, if we do not vote these Socialist's out, we may once again have to fear both equally.

Semper Fi.

[shdwlkr]

My avatar tells it like it is if you want to be free you have to fight for it. if not then your president is doing a great job. NO he is not who I wanted in the White House and no I don't care what race he is. Don't care if he has a birth certificate either as it isn't going to make much difference.
The Republicans are a disgrace as a party and for that matter so are the Democrats. Yes some in each party see the way things are going but far to many see the gold they can put in their pockets and drink to much of Obama cool aide.
As a country we are 90% gone and it will take a lot to fix the screw ups that have occurred in the last 60 years

[Down South]

The Down South part is self explanatory. My avatar of Yosemite Sam and his animated demeanor somewhat reminds me of myself from time to time plus we have the same name.

[home in oz]

I am a retired Engineer Soldier.

Good branch!

Hoo-ah!

And I am home in oz, (Kansas), no where exotic.

[Cariboo]

The Cariboo is the area I fell in love with after having traveled in 6 provinces & 49 states
My avatar a pic of my youngest son & me many moons ago

[exile]

I use "exile" because although I grew up in Kansas, my wife and I moved to her home town in Nebraska. Nice place, but it isn't Kansas. Also because the Bible says that we are aliens
and strangers here on this earth. This isn't my home, I'm just passing through on my way to someplace better.

My avatar is my Ruger flattop in .41 magnum. I know most people don't get excited about them because it's not an original flattop caliber, but I love it. I wish someone had introduced me to the .41 magnum sooner. Knife is a Cold Steel SRK that I bought years ago when I was single, too big to be of any real use, but what the heck, I put it in there anyway.

I am a retired vocational rehabilitation counselor.

[maglvr]

No avatar because I haven't found just the right one to bring across the true, inner-me, the real me, all of my wishes, wants , dreams and desires, not only for myself, but for the peace and happiness of mankind as a whole!! OK, it's because i'm lazy!!
My name? now that is a very complex matter indeed! I'm not sure we the have time to explore the true depths of it all, but OK, here goes!
I Love Magnums(357, 41 & 44)

[linotype]

My avatar is my favourite handgun cartridge - the .45 Colt.
Started with a cheap import .357 handgun, moved up to a .357 Blackhawk, and hunted with a Super Blackhawk for years. That all changed after a few Skeeter Skelton articles on heavy .45 Colt bullet over 6 grains of Unique. Enjoyed many Ruger and import .45 Colt single actions over the years.

The name came from my younger days in high school when I “haunted” the Mergenthaler Linotype (line-of-type) machine and an old time operator at a local newspaper. Really got in to the hot lead typesetting and printing part of the business.
Got the nickname one day when the page typesetter was trying to fill a page and need a few more lines of type to square it up.
He yelled out, “More linotype!”
The machine operator handed me (the gopher) a tray of ready to go line type, and said, “Hey young mister Linotype, sounds like he's calling you.”
The nickname stuck and that's all they called me from then on.

When I started casting I gathered up all the surplus linotype I could find.
Guess I'm still moving linotype after all these years!

[troyboy]

User name is the same as mine, Troy. Avatar is a picture of the big diggers I tend too.

[MBTcustom]

My avatar is a picture I took of myself while hunting in my favorite spot so I could show my wife that I was still alive. That was the best hunting season of my life. I shot my first deer with a muzzle loader, I shot my first deer with a recurve bow (pictured), I finaly got the 300 yard shot that I have always dreamed of "and I pulled it off", I won the arkansas Triple Trophy Award with those three deer, and last but not least, that was the year that I killed my first deer with a cast lead boolit. When searching for an avatar, I could find no better picture that describes me better than this one of me hunting in the Ozarks.

My handle is one that I took from my childhood. Here in Conway Arkansas there was a knife-maker in the 80s named Ken West. He had a shop down-town when Conway was still small called Kens Spit & Whittle". He had a love of bone handled knives and when he was showing one of his knives to a customer, he would always say "this is a good knife: good steel, bone handles" I always wanted to spend time at the Spit & Whittle, but Ken died suddenly of an aneurysm in his brain. He was the one person that I always wanted to get to know, but died before I had the chance. I use this handle as a way to honor his memory. Not only that, but I have a very deep appreciation for goodsteel.

[Newtire]

Named myself Newtire after getting divorced. I heard that these folks were called retreads and didn't like that title so came up with Newtire. The Avatar is me breaking a claybird with my old Savage 24.

[gmsharps]

My initials and then my fascination with the Sharps Rifle. My Avatar is the first of 21 45 ACP cases pulled from the ground at the site where SGT York earned his Medal of Honor.
