Mike Myers is my favorite Canadian actor/director. MiniMe is about the only male character not played by Myers in his hilarious series of Austin Powers movies.
A tribute to his love of cornyness and use of Verne Troyer to mock Dr. Evil. I piss myself laughing every time I watch these guys.

Re: Where'd your name come from??
Great thread!
During the 70s I started using the CB handle, Hillbilly Rebel. Before that I was the Coors Man, until a weak signal had a "10-4 good buddy" calling me the colored man, I'm not. The Hillbilly is because of the part of Kentucky in which I was born, raised and live. The rebel is just my appreciation for the never say die attitude that the south exhibited in the civil war. As an old western line went, "If we had had a few more corncobs, we would of whipped you Yankees, too." I've been in more than a few corncob fights in my life.

Me and my wife were joking around about a label for gift bottles to friends. It was either this or blind truth. We laughed.

Re: Where'd your name come from??
Have 3 brothers-in-law, all 3 ministers. Oldest started out as trthskr1, next to oldest trthskr2 and so on. 2 of them look down on my little illicit hobby, the other one and his wife make a "shopping trip" by the house every now and then and clean me out of hooch. I don't tell and they don't either.
The name fits pretty well though, I've grown out of idealogies and seek the ultimate truth in almost everything no matter what it is and where it takes me. Lots of folks frown on that though. Gets me in trouble at times, oh well. I only wish I was smart enough to remember half the stuff I've learned in my life and forgotten.

My brother has been makeing whisky for years. I just never developed a taste for whisky even though his are excellent. He had me order him a 50# bag of brown sugar for a batch of rum. I tasted it and said, now this is something I can get into. He told me about this site. When I joined, the only thing I would have had to contribute would have been bulls@%t, so RumBull it was. Also like the mispelling of rumble which too much rum can get you into.

I had just got through watching young dr. "Franken-shteen" for the 40th time or so, and got to thinkin how this hobby kinda brings out the mad scientist in all of us. It's reminds of the feeling of being young and having a chemistry set and a quart jar of black powder - and a whole summer to blow things up. Yes, I do play the piano with all my fingers still intact.
Also, I love Marty Feldman and I try not to take myself to seriously, although Frau Bleucher might say something different......

Great thread. Mine was given to me many years ago, a hunting thing... Center mass was the easier shot and better odds of hitting something.... that and GutShot is a buddies nickname!
Re: Where'd your name come from??
I don't still...yet....just read. When I got my first pc and 300 Baud dial up I used first name and first initial of last name on the BB's. That was good through the 1200 B but when I went turbo, 2400B and joined compuserve some other sob had already taken davida but I wanted to be a davida too. So I was. Pretty unoriginal. Use that nick everywhere now except for BofA which has davida's into the 4 digits. Most everywhere else davida2 is not taken and that's my online name/nick.

Re: Where'd your name come from??
My name come from the word idiot. Back in the days i got the name idi (short for idiot here in Sweden) from my friends, cause i always blew stuff up. It started out innocent with blackpowder, and then got worse. Like blowing up my room (accidentally) at my parents house, or the biggie out at sea that even made the swedish navy and a couple of newspapers interrested..and some 100.000 of fishes reaching nirvana...

Re: Where'd your name come from??
If I may...blowing up things is OK, but using alcohol will give us all a bad name. Don't blow things up with alcohol!
