    Default Welcome to a new member with a unique username!

    Yup, it's happened.
    We have a new member that has come up with a rather unique and apropos username. I'm often intrigued by the creative names that some guys come up with when they join up, but this guy...
    This guy came up with a humdinger of a username. No doubt he spent days thinking up a username that would connect him with this forum. Of course, one can spend all this time working out the perfect name, only to discover that someone else already picked it. Of course, one can then simply add a number after the name in order to still register it, but it takes away some of the cache. Sure, we could have a Slartibartfast17, or Hi_Bud_Gl247, but it just wouldn't be the same and it would be confusing when trying to keep the people straight.

    Not this guy. Nope. He came up with his own username.

    Please welcome to the forum...

    Funny that the other 30,000 of us didn't think of that.

    That handle was also given to a rookie fighter pilot in the movie "Flight of the Intruder". The pilot wanted to be called Razor but Danny Glover dubbed him "StraightRazor",

    Lools like their death ray's scope aims just a little on the high side - or maybe they fire in long bursts to make sure they get it
