Every day I beat my previous record of consecutive days I've stayed alive.

I could analyze engine problems, just not as adept at fixing them!
I have to add here, while stationed on Nantucket several of us Snipes qualified as Coxswains
NONE of the Bosn's qualified as Engineers
So the long and the short was that the Snipes could leave without the Bosn's, but THEY had to have one of us to go out
We had one Snipe that was a good boat operator, just not as skilled at navigation. He was a Coxswain also, just not as sharp.
But I made it a point to train all of my Snipes to handle the boat. It is a small team, after all!
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

Mine is pretty simple. My 1st name is Clarence with the middle name Russell. From the time I was born, they called me C.R. and I was born in 1963.
So as I see it, I became C.R. in 1963 so crin63. People frequently refer to me as crin because of the name.
Not so much clever as it is simple. I like simple.

Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

Even though I knew your name, I still think "crin" in my head when I see your posts.

The initials of my first and middle names, mick is derived from my Irish last name.
On some other boards I use Norman Paperman.
Norman Paperman is the name of the main character in the Herman Wouk book Don't stop the Carnival. Don't Stop the Carnival is also the title of Jimmy Buffets 21st studio album inspired by Wouk's book. It consisted of twenty original songs written by Buffett and was recorded to promote the stage play Don't Stop the Carnival that was produced by Wouk and Buffett. The play had a short run in Miami...

Yep, I always thought it pretty easy to pronounce given it is a common French word, and there are pretty mainstream references like 'film noir' etc, but a lot of folks trip up over it for some reason.
If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

Mine has a fairly obvious significance (.. sez me ?) .. and another, less obvious one.
'Drummond' ... after Bulldog Drummond, an old British fictional character from old novels. Part of my reason for using it is to emphasise my 'Britishness', don't y'know, old bean ....

But there's just a little more to it. As well as that ... 'Drummond' just happened to be part of the name of the building I worked in, for several years in the very early 2000's ....

Educate man, Liberate man
I chose my User Name here, in lieu of my old one, at another forum where I was Terminated.
I picked Aboutime as a manner of speaking....As in About Time....I got to speak again without fearing the termination of voicing my opinion to endless whiners...from the predominantly LIBERAL forum where speaking the TRUTH then, was like putting a TRUMP bumper sticker on your car, and wondering why the car gets DAMAGED.
I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
So, this is for them.
