Mine is the model of my first AR-15, An Oly PCR-00, got it at the WAC (traded a glock 21 and a beat up super blackhawk for it)
How bout you? |

Simple enough...my name is Justin, and I ride a 2003 R6.
I started using it on the bike boards, and just kept it. |
|
So if this is a recycled thread, where's all the old shit, cleaned up and painted to look all purty and new?
|
|
yup...the other version was likely to get trashed, and instead of posting yet annother thread I'm resourceful when I wanna be! |

I have used the nic Paradox online for a very long time. I used to run a BBS back before the days of the World Wide Web. It was called HoP, House of Paradox. Now days if I sign up for a board and the nic is already in use I add 800 to it. The 800 is a bowling goal that I have yet to make.

STRATIOTES koine greek for WARRIOR
the M-word group was also a bible study group that included the original language of the holy scriptures (koine greek).
nic named after that verse by team mates. |

R= Recycle
32= the amount of pages I "recycle" of PCR-00's posts to mess up everybody's active topics |
|
Thread hi-jack in progress. News at 11!!! I thought 300 was the bowling score to achieve? |

Years ago, when trying to get on the worldwideintrawebnet for the first time, via AOL, I ran through dozens of attempts to find a screen name that wasn't taken already.
Before my final attempt, I put down DT, which are my initials. No go, so I added an O to the beginning, after mumbling some profanities to myself, "OH BULLSHIT!!", to be exact. Wouldn't you know it? It WORKED! I used it, and it kind of grew on me I guess. I thought it was kind of a play on the word "Oddity", though that aspect has only been brought up to me once since, on another forum. (someone who was all worked up about a rather ODD firearm I had shown in a pic) Not too glamorous, but there it is. |

I just like unicorns. Probably the love of sci-fi and fantasy I've had since I was like six or seven.

Wow Strat, we are, like, totally, cosmicly connected. My real name means "warrior" Gunchyck is pretty self-explanatory, right? I like guns, and I didn't want to have to keep explaining to people that I'm a girl. (Though I find that I have to explain it anyway to some...) And my cavalier usage of the word "chick" pisses my mother off. I, sadistically enough, find this hilarious. |

Rune: I am mostly Irish and I rather like Celtic runes... 75 cause I was born in well, 75.
However, if you ever see /Rinacruinne/ around, thats prolly me also. It is Irish Gaelic and translates to /// Ri na cruinne /// ~~ ///King of the world///. I have been using that nickname on the web since, gawd... 1990. |

"Trey" comes from being the youngest of three brothers. The two deuce (which I misspelled that fateful night I signed up) was to make a play on .223.

One of these days will you fill me in on what a scrun is exactly? |
|
|
Must... resist... impulse... to post... really dirty comment!!!! |

Not that I really believe either of these is what scrun really means, but...
1. scrun Originated by Dafydd "pipeline" Williams of ATMOS Software Productions. scrun is a situational word that changes meaning depending on it's context. It is a usually a general exclamatory, or can be used in place of "stuff". "I have a whole heap of scrun here." "Scrun you, hippy!" "I'm just scrunning about." by Dafydd Williams Nov 30, 2003 ETA: This is specific to SCO unix IIRC NAME scrun - SCore front-end process to run a user parallel program on a cluster SYNOPSIS scrun [-SCoreOptions] file [program_options] DESCRIPTION scrun is a front-end program for scored(8) that manages a variety of cluster resources. User programs running on a cluster must be invoked via the scrun program. Firstly, scrun invokes the user program, specified by file, on the host where scrun was executed. This is done in such a way to get the required resource information. Then, scrun tries to login to scored. After login, scrun becomes a front-end process in order to control job status of the user program running on the cluster. When the user program finishes, scrun also terminates. Valid arguments to scrun could be SCore options. The options are various resource specifications to SCore-D and/or options for language runtime systems on which user programs rely. In this manual page, only SCore-D options are described. The language system options must be consulted where those systems are installed. If the first argument of scrun does not begin with the minus (-) character, or the third argument when SCore options are specified, then the next argument must be the filename of the program to be executed on the cluster. The specified executable file is copied and then invoked by scored on all allocated nodes in the cluster. Arguments following the filename are passed to the invocation of the executable file on all nodes. The executable file must have read permission so that scrun can read the file and copy it to cluster nodes. The file must also be an executable file on the host where scrun is invoked, so that scrun can execute the file to get resource information. The scrun program can also submit a parallel job to cluster hosts which have a different OS and/or CPU from the host where scrun is invoked. In this case, at least two executable files must be present, one for the scrun local invocation, and another for cluster execution. To allow for this situation, the executable files must be compiled with the SCore smake(1) or Hmake(1) commands (not make or gmake). In this case, the executable file must be a symbolic link to the .wrapper script which will be automatically created by the smake or Hmake command. It is the users responsibility to have consistent heterogeneous executable files compiled from the same source code. |

Not even a little bit. |

Thank You, I tend to walk into things like that! I just figure I should know what a scrun is if I'm going to be married to a big one........ |

"Cyclic240B" should be obvious to his crowd. But to break it down, "Cyclic" refers to my days as a Machinegunner in the Army. "240B" is a reference to one of the machineguns that I carried, the M240B. So given an M240B, a position about to be overrun that most likely has you at your FPL, or "Final Protective Fire", and a crap load of ammo linked, it is the maximum rate of fire that the weapon is capable of firing with the trigger constantly held back.
You have mulitple rates of fire that the situation usually determines for you. Those being "sustained", "rapid", and "cyclic". An M240B's was/is; * Sustained: 100 rpm "Normal" * Rapid: 200 rpm "Contested" * Cyclic: 650-950 rpm "SHTF" The 650-950rpm figure of "cyclic" is also based on what the gas regulator on the barrel is set at. The "240" has three settings to compensate for carbon buildup, and the resulting rate of fire slowing down during lots of firing. But given a clean weapon, and putting the knob on the highest setting, that baby will spit out the bullets at 950rpm. But doing so will usually get you a swift kick in the ass by the NCO running the Support by Fire. So when in Rome..... And there you have it.... |

Yeah, I had that pretty much figured from the beginning, but sometimes even a shot in the dark hits something. I initially that your name was BigSCRUM. Which knowing you kinda' actually fits. But then I got to thinking your a typical American and don't really know what rugby is much less the scrum so...it all went bad visually from there and I quit thinking about it. |

I was a party at the compound (skillets house) like any other party lots of booze lots of people and then there was me! Friends brought some moose jerky from Alaska for us and i got my grub on and a vegan we knew said "How gross" I smiled and she left. As i continued to consume the jerky and drinking my beer I proceeded to the front porch to hang out with the crowd. She (the vegan) turned around and said geez I came out here to get away from that and I for some reason made a loud call of a moose at her and Scrun called out EREX! And we all laughed and from there on Ive been known as Erex...of corse theres a pitch that the guys would joke about id take on anything living with my fal including a T-Rex ha ha and i would still make dinner out of one!

I still remember the old nickname though. |

Winchester 22 WRF Model 61, my first rifle when I was 7 the stock was short enough I could reach the trigger and I still have it. I'm the second owner.

2 reasons for my handle. 1) I carry a browning Hi-power 9mm. 2) A patient a long time ago called me Millicent ( I adopted the name for my evil twin, we all have one of those). He couldn't remember my real name but called me that every time. Thus...9Millie
