Mine is just a name that I have used off and on most of my life.

You have to be there when it's all over. Otherwise you can't say "I told you so."
Better days to be,

I live in Tennessee, needed a handle so I thought what would represent Tennessee? I like sipping whiskey so, George Dickel because I prefer Dickel over Jack Daniel. Initially was just George Dickel but needed a handle while at work so George Dickel at Work. Been using it at home also because George Dickel was working on me sometimes while posting.

Tears of Rage for all the innocent people who have been no-knock raided....
tears of rage for all the guilty people who have been raided who would have come quietly if they'd been arrested normally....
tears of rage for the children who have to see mommy and daddy get arrested and don't understand why...
tears of rage for the children who are removed from their homes and put in foster care where they get mistreated....
tears of rage for anyone who is a victim of a repeat offender who should never have been let out....
tears of rage for anyone who needed to defend themselves with a gun but couldn't because they weren't allowed to carry one...
tears of rage for aqnyone who's had their property confiscated even though they were never found guily of a crime...
tears of rage for people who save up their whole life to buy a piece of land and then they're told they can't do anything with it...
ahhhh...there's lots more but you get the idea...
Now that I'm meeting some folks from these boards in real life, I'm thinking of changing it to something that sounds better as a spoken nickname, but I don't know what.

Eight fifties and a R-2800.
Futo, you might be interested to know that my (albeit none too grand) Japanese dictionary defines futo as "suddenly; by chance; by accident" and futoi as "big; thick; deep; sonorous". But I think ookii "big; large; great; heavy; powerful; huge; massive" might be closer to the mark. Then again, given the variables in different systems of Romaji, this is something of a guess.

Pretty self-explanatory.
"Rifle, model of 1898"
Peter Paul Mauser's brainchild, which was a turning point in design, and preceded basically every modern bolt-action rifle to this day. My dad's revered 8mm 98 Mauser conversion was always the gun to take for deer and elk when I was a youngster, among all his sporting rifles. It never failed him, and he felt "jinxed" if it wasn't in his hands during the season. Not to mention the fact I've gunsmithed and built a few serious rifles built on 98 Mauser actions. I did this to the chagrine of some benchresters who so joyously reminded me that premium barrels should never be threaded into something other than a Stolle, Nesika, BAT, Shilen, or tricked-out Remington 700 action, anything else would be a travesty. I still have that golfball centerpunched at 500 meters by my 6.5-06 Interdiction Mauser...
So yeah, it's kind of an "in your face" thing. But there's also a lot of intrinsic beauty in the 98 Mauser.
