My fave Kramer is Eds from the mid-80s, and thats where I got my user ID from...

I still have them all but am not into acquiring more. I used this ID on some guitar forums 5-6 years ago and have just managed to keep it.

For me its all about seeing, flashlights give you that anytime.

I choose orbital because of the orbital bone of the eye,
and a bit of atomic orbital for the LED thing.

Not because space stuff....
 
Good Thread.

Me... I used to love the movie Young Guns. I watched it so much, I could quote every scene, so a friend started calling me El Chibato (Billy the Kid....although it is actually spelled Chivato).

Definitely. Amazing designs and awesome functionality. Check out their new IP phone range.

Currently working with some of their IP phones, Personally I prefer the older TDM phones better. They're not as flexible, but they fully boot up in less than 5 seconds! IP phones, not so much...
 
I played a Kramer ... I think it was a G4(?)
was the one Joe Satriani played once
I had it lowered and set up really well
the harmonics on it were the best
I do miss it

Your username?

I have seen some way out there one's and often wondered what some of them mean.So spill it what's the secret behind your cpf name? I'll start.

I am a thermal spray operator.Didn't put a lot of thought in it now that i think of it😀 What i do is apply a ceramic coating to various parts with a plasma unit.
 
Re: Your username?

I know there's a thread on this, already, but I used to do a lot of scrap metal recycling. I always used to rationalize that I might as well buy whichever flashlights, because I was just going to find that much money in the trash, with in the next week or two, anyway, so in a sense, it was like getting free flashlights. (still required work, though...)
 
Re: Your username?

I really dont know how mine came about. i remember that i needed a user name for something (dont remember what) and i just put silent in front of my first innitial. I think it might have been for the original xbox live back when call of duty finest hour was the thing to be playing. 😀 But i am not for sure.
 
A couple of reasons for my moniker. I was born in July so some would say I'm a Leo. Leo is often associated with Lion. Rex means king, and the lion is king of the jungle. There's also the reminder of the King of Kings, who is Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
 
1st off its a play on a rather crude phrase for one who never goes slow, 2nd I run a2 stroke outboard still and I am primarily a bass fisherman and my throttle has two positions full tilt boogie and I'm fishin.
 
I love our country, its heritage, our freedom and the people who stand in its defense.




"Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it."
John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776​
 
It's etilhsalf spelled backwards. Pig Latin for etilhsalf is etilhsalfway, which is the name I originally wanted but it was already taken.

Thats a pun grenade if I've ever seen one!


In forums past, in places like this, and in life generally, I'm the tech'iest person in the room. The gravity toward which electronic questions and problems travel. But this place is so technical, I've never felt so normal (and even below average) in ability.

Nor have I ever learned so much or had as much fun doing it. :grin2:


As for my avatar. Before electronics, I loved mechanical devices. And its harder to find a more compact, intricate, and beautiful device than a mechanical wristwatch:

My high school freshman year I was in a transportation class, which had a lot of juniors, most friends with my brother. Typical of guys of that age, we traded lots of insults in good fun, but I'd never hear half of them. "What are you f'n deaf Floyd?" (Floyd being my last name). They'd get lazy and only pronounce 1 f, so it'd be deaf loyd and I'd mock them by saying, "I'm f'n Defloyd!!!" whenever they'd say something I didn't hear. Usually resulted in a punch in the side, but it was good fun lol.
 
I picked mine because I'm from Ohio, The Buckeye State. It has nothing to do with some college around here. 😛 Mostly because I like buckeye candy which is peanut butter fudge dipped in chocolate leaving a small area of the fudge exposed. :naughty: This looks just like the Buckeye tree nut, pictured in my avatar. Also, the real Buckeye tree nuts are poisonous to humans. :eeew:
