I was stationed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with the Air Force and there were a bunch of us who rode motorcyles out in the sand dunes. I'd never ridden a bike before, so I spent as much time upside down as I did rightside up, ergo "Crash."

I had a cat with only one eye. One day many years ago, I was trying to come up with a user name and I was staring into the one good eye of that long-haired blue cat... the rest is history.

Star Trek reference. It just so happens that my last name begins with Kirk.

Mine is a "nickname", given to me by my college golf teammates. No, I'm not a surgeon, just a medical/ pharmaceutical sales guy who thought "Drug Pusher" would be a poor choice for a user name on a CHL board.

I'm really not a "Loner" but often feel that way when it comes to shooting. It's always hard to get friends who aren't into shooting as much as I am to go with me so I often go alone.

556 is for 5.56x45 NATO.

My kiddos came about a t-shirt with flying fish, steaks, hot dogs, and hamburgers circling around a charcoal grill with the words Daddio's on the Patio. :txflag:

I used to coach a team called the Mavericks (no, not those Mavericks) back in the day, and one day in 2000, I was signing up on usenet BB, aol, or some other such forum precursor and it seemed like a relevant name at the time, so I used it. So I started using it whenever I signed up for stuff requiring a username.

15-16 years later..... I no longer coach that team (or any for that matter) and it surely ain't 2000 anymore, but the name sorta stuck.

When I was transferred from Chicago to the Dallas area for work my local rep said I needed a "Texas" name. He said everyone has two names in Texas like Billie Joe, Betty Sue, etc., so going by my true name, Phil, Phil Bob is what he came up with and I have used it on a lot of forums as I have found it is a screen name that always seems to be available

My screen name has nothing to do with guns. I own a 1986 Buick Grand National.


Yes it's fast and no you can't drive it! :fire

I've been Hesitant to to post here. I was a lurker for a long time before I joined, unfortunately I didn't really pay that much attention to user names. When I decided to join, I used a user name that I had used on other shooting forums. Unfortunately it turned out to be a combination of two of the moderators here, I won't repost it, but due to that fact, I was kicked off and my first few posts were deleted. So when I rejoined, I wanted everyone to know that it was completely unintended and that it was Just Me. I shortened it to Jusme. No other meanings involved.

I used to carry a 1911 since I switched to Glock, it's a play on the 1911 cocked n locked mindset.

Years ago, my wife and I ran a media company that had "Studios" in its name. I was much younger then, a-la "kid." I've had the username for years.... plus it cuts down on trying to find username that's not already taken.
