    Last name and first initial. When I started college that was what they gave me as my student ID. They used it to log into everything and anything, sort of a "PIN" if you will.

    My areas of interest are so broad that if I tried to put them all into a username it would take an entire page. This is just a lot simpler.

    Snooterbuckets is my email address; you'll note there's no # after it, so I guess I'm the only one in the world to have it! It's a nickname my brothers had for me when we were kids, (heaven only knows where it came from), and when my nephew set up my first computer/email address, he thought it would be a cool name. It is, but I've had to explain it so many times, I probably should've just gone with something like, colonyparkman!

    Mine's sort of obvious too... There never was a "real" 442 wagon produced, but that what mine's built to resemble...

    yeah, and i do wonder what you sound like...do you have a thick french accent like i would imagine steph (wagonmaster) has, do you sound like a country canadian ...like Dave from davidsfarm (youtube...thick accent with lots of eh's and aboot's) or do you sound like Rick (the Rev)....with no precieved accent?(at least to me anyway)

    YES!


    my name...hmmmm well, there are only 4 million Ian Craigs out there (especially in Scotland!) so i didnt even bother trying! 10yrs ago i set up a yahoo mail account and created a1awind.
    it is a combonation of two of my favorite Jimmy Buffett albums ...A1A and Banana Wind. as if you couldnt tell im a bit of a beach bum at heart
    so being a parrothead comes naturally to me (hell thats why we named my daughter Delaney..on the album "Fruitcakes" jimmy wrote a song about his daughter called "Delaney talks to statues")
    1. named daughter after beach bum trubedor's song.....check
    2. turned luxury station wagon into a surf woody......check
    3. not a matter of IF im gonna wear a hawaiian shirt but which one...check
    4. constantly drive spouse nuts bitching about not living near a
    beach......check
    5. pine for the days when i lived in miami.....check
    yeah i got it bad!

    Nope no accents, except maybe in Slang and Southern drawl, y'all!

    I speak, read and write English, French and Spanish, when I'm not sipping too much scotch or tequila, and even a bit of ancient Latin, when I do. (Quebec highschool taught us Latin and Greek, and we had to spend the entire day speaking it, even when we asked for a smoke, a bag of french fries or played hockey, none of which existed in Roman days.)

    Now Mississipian is a whole other language for me. I...... can't..... hear..... that..... slow..... :biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

    Louisiana Creole is almost ok. They really messed up french... :biglaugh:

    Wife and I love Jimmy too, but have never been to a concert. I'm afraid a certain odor in the air might put me off (never was one for the stuff, "If you know what I'm talkin' about.....")

    Have you read any of his books? IMO he's a real good story teller - in writing as well as song.

    Growing up, I was always in a classroom with at least two or three other guys named Chris and none of us ever went by our given name "Christopher". The teachers used to call us "Chris L", "Chris P", "Chris S" or "Chris T". So eventually, I took the last half of "Christopher", rather than the first, and people started calling me "Topher". "S" is the initial of my last name.

    CS54 stands for Country Sedan 1954. I can't type very fast, and the longer the words are the slower I type. I am a 2 finger typist. the only thing I can type reasonably fast is: "now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party". that comes from fixing typewriters for many years. - "I fix 'em - I don't use 'em" was my motto.
