    There was a work project from hell that wouldn't go away. It was a field beta trial at a customer site. One day, one of the engineers changed all the login names of the servers to be sucks2beme. When my son moved back home , he swiped my ebay id, so I used this one. When I came here, I just reused it again!

    Duncan MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod

    I love the tv series Highlander, the best show ever on tv.

    Pretty much everything has something to do with it.

    My email and AIM handle , Axe1592, is derived from Duncan MacLeods birth year, 1592, and the name I used when I was a kid in all the arcade games, Axe. You could only put 3 letters in the hall of fame and high scores and I wanted a cool name so I came up with that. Been using Axe in video games for over 20 years now.

    What is a SCompRacer? Super Comp is a class in NHRA that I used to race. A buddy used to jokingly push buttons about the class and one day I lost it and blurted out "It's Super Comp!" Unfortunately, all the emphasis ended up on the "S" and "Comp." Since the "uper" wasn't heard, everyone was ROFL and I was then branded as a "SComp" Racer. LOL, one of life's precious moments with friends.

    my name is Todd Sisco so I spelled Sisco backwards (ocsis) and put the T in front of it. I ended up with Tocsis and if you pronounce it out, it sounds like Toxis and it looks a lot better. It's something I came up with 7 years ago when I started frequenting forums and wanted to be unique.

    It was my original AOL screen name. Bobman was already taken, so I added a number to it. 1235 was from Bob Dylan's "Rainy Day Women Numbers 12 & 35."

    when I was a kid my family and everybody used to say I was an animal,so the called me animal..

    when I got a little older, through a series of events , that are best left unsaid, they figured out what kind of animal....

    so they started calling me Bear..still do, even have credit cards that say Bear Press..

    As a form of endearment (I like to believe), about 15 yrs ago they started callin me beardog...
    03 is the number of kids I have...

    hence beardog03

    1) Vr3mxstyler2k3

    Version 3 (I've used MXstyler as long as I can remember, and kept making new "versions" as certain people gained access to the older ones. I went all the way up to Version 4 - but it felt weird, so Version 3 it was. MX is quite simple, it has nothing to do with biking or motorcross or any of that jazz. My first stereo was the JVC MX G50 - hence the MX. Styler really has no meany, just a nice ending to an already odd name... Possibly means I am styled with speakers? Hehe...

    2k3 is self explainatory...

    I have quite a few other names...

    Vr3mxdmicblce2k7 (VR3MX - Dynamic Balance (polk technology) - 2007 (graduation year)

    My other one is Vr3mxxtrmespl2k3 - Vr3 MX - Extreme Sound Pressure Levels - 2003...

    Those are all the ones I currently use...

    Also can find me under AmpraSid and Definitive Sid...

    And anyone curious how I got Sid - Troy put that one on me as he said I looked like Sid from Toy Story... that I blew alot of things up (M&K)
