    My first and last name. Nothing to hide.

    During the pre-internet BBS years I was El Chivato, and carried that name well into Shooters.com and then changed it during the Shootersville years.

    I was pissed at an ex at the time plus bad times, feeling pretty low, so I thought my heart was disposable as I didn't care about anything any more.

    I stand by my name more than ever now. The reason? Eric Rader. Had I known he had an issue with his heart, I would have gladly given him mine. Its a decent one, low miles, never ridden very hard. I am the disposable one, not the heart, at least now...

    Bubba - I'm kinda what you'd think of as a "Bubba" - not enough hills to be a hillybilly, not enough trailers around to be a redneck, so I just kinda became a Bubba..

    My handle ~ (Turn Key) might be recognized be some, if they have a DOC number.

    I prefer to keep my name on line as a handle due to my days working Juvenile and the ankle bites that knew me as the QRT officer that would leave those knots on your head.

    Thanks the Lord those days are over with although those ankle bites are into their twenties now and some are pretty computer savvy. So I’ll just stay ‘Turn Key’…

    Some may remember me as Pup on GT, which IMO has gone down hill ever since Eric’s big site update and a never ending push to charge $$$ for a status avatar. I still drop by there every month or so. :)

    In the Navy no one could pronounce my last name correctly. So everyone called me Beau. Kinda stuck with me.

    I used to call my Halo avatar "Paco"...then a guy who started showing up to our gaming sessions thought he was really good...and called me an "*******" every time I killed him (which was a lot, he was too cocky). So I added Bedejo to the end to taunt him further... In case you're wondering, I'm actually of German descent :)

    When I got my first home computer I was trying to sign up for a e-maiil account. Every name I picked seemed to be taken. It was just my son and I at the time so I used a combo of both our names. Been using it for everything ever sense because its never taken. Rick/Zack = ricnzak

    For several years I was the Director of Instructional Technology at a local university. A few co-workers were Bob & Tom fans, so El Director was born. Thought it would command some respect, but, no..... not so much.

    When Jay invited me here, he said "Make your screen name something easy for me to remember"...
    And well...he's old. And I'm kind.
