well, heres the explanation no one expects for my s/n

last name is stone (see, in the corner it says stone)

so a few years ago some friends started calling me stoner and the name stuck

1313 simply because 13 is my favorite number and there was a stoner13 at the very first online place where i needed a screename so i put another 13 after it

its my nickname for any online thing

.... okay okay, since this topic came up again.... i was racking my brains for the screen name, when the movie Yojimbo (by akiro kurosawa) came to mind. so i just changed it a little, and that's it!

....and it has totally no connection with me whatsoever...lol :-)

I've been a police officer for 25 years. I made corporal about 10 years ago and will not make sergeant. Decided I could be one here in my little fantasy world.

Well,
Being from Louisiana, I've become somewhat of a history buff of the u-boat offensive in the Gulf of Mexico, most of which happened right off the coast of LA. Also, my grandfather and my wife's grandfather both worked at different times at Consolidated Shipyards about 30min. away in Texas. They built destroyers and destroyer escorts. Thus "subhunter", honoring family and state.

When I joined a few days back I was thinking about a cool name, but couldn't come up with anything. Then I noticed two unopened boxes on my workbench; the other being Tamiya sd.kfz223 Leichter Panzerspähwagen, and the other Italeri A7 D "Sluff". So, try to type "Leichter Panzerspähwagen" after four beers... (++)

Joker comes from a television show that I designed the graphics for "Battlestar Galactica".
One very crazy day we were shooting "green screen" ( a big green screen is placed behind the action and later on computer graphics, "CGI" is placed by the folks at visual effects) and we were "shooting" the Viper out of the launch tube and in order to get the feeling the there was more than one we (me) would have to change the tail codes and the pilots name and call sign (placed beside the pilots shoulder on the fuselage) for each shot.
The director couldn't have enough names/callsigns and I was running ( really runnning) back and forth between my signshop and set, slapping these things on in front of camera) and running back to make more. As a laugh I stuck my name in there as Lt. Peter Hickey/Joker and....you guessed that's one that made it to film and some of the promoshots.
The best part is that in the launch tube when all is very serious and the world is coming to an end with those nasty cylons, you get a closeup of my name and then a pan shot to"my" face and Joker is being played by an African Canadian and I'm as white as they come...Joker gets" it" in the big fight. The actor playing"me" and I had a couple of chuckles about that.
Cheers
Joker

I'm Mr Crewchief because one of the exchange pilots of my former squadron always called me Mr Crewchief when I was launching .

I'm a crewchief on the F-16 in the Royal Netherlands Air Force.

That's all.

Mine's an abbreviation of Clan Graham (scottish) motto. 'Ne Oublie' - "never forget".

What we're not supposed to forget has apparently been forgotten. Way to go, guys.

I named myself EasyOff because if I don't like how one of my figures is coming out I'll strip it with Easy Off oven cleaner and start over. I'm color blind 4 colors so I have a hard time liking what I'm seeing sometimes.

I have a big blonde patch of hair in the middle of my brown haired head. It wasn't dyed that way either. Its a birth mark. So, I was dubbed spot by my weightlifting buddies and soccer teammates.

Mine was decided as I was signing up on the Armorama forum and comes from a combination of two things:

Babycakes- a nickname someone has given me, and
GI - because I would be building military models

I was in a combat engineer battalion in the U.S. Marine Corps and mine was the call sign of my squad. I sat my guys down and said "let's get a cool call sign! Any suggestions?" and "Hellbent 11" was born!
