What's in a name?

[Scanker19]

So on the CMP forum they have an explain you name thread, but we get to have avatars here so explain that too.

I'll start.

Jordan is my first name, LS initials, and 19 is my "lucky number".

My avatar is the Rock-Ola logo. My Rock-Ola is my favorite M1 Carbine I own. For those of your that don't know Rock-Ola made Juke Boxes ,amongst other things, prior to and after the war.
Half the reason I love M1 Carbines so Much is they were mostly made by Non gun makers,except Winchester, IBM (IBM is my Second Favorite) and a bunch others that either merged with other companies, closed, or changed names.

Garands were made by gun companies during WWII, so is like "wow you made a gun!" (sarcasm included)

GIs used to say "Rock-Olas play the sweetest music this side of a Funeral"


If this has been done Please save my dignity and delete.

Word!

Pretty simple, it's a black Ford, and it's a '76. Favorite toy, I have spent WAY too much on it.

Avatar? I can't resist setting the "High score" on those things, I hate the fact they don't go triple digits anymore.

My last name starts with O so I grew up as Steve-O. Yes, long before Jack Ass. I inserted opia on Steve as a narcissistic joke mostly playing off of the 2nd definition of the word Utopia below.
Utopia
1. an imaginary island described in Sir Thomas More's Utopia (1516) as enjoying perfection in law, politics, etc.
2. an ideal place or state.
3. any visionary system of political or social perfection.

[hip55]

no logical reason, I just made it up in the moment.

[e2cTrainer]

Well, I think both my name and Avatar say the same thing, I'm an Instructor with Equip 2 Conceal and I am "for the people"

I enjoy all of the forums for all the interesting opinions and experiences.
