    The day I registered I had a bunch of travel brouchures on my desk. One of them had an ad for Kontiki Tours, and happened to be the first thing that caught my eye when I needed to select a username.

      Yes. Of course being slammed into whilst I am stationary is a sign of my appalling driving, of course

      What about you Texan? I bet you don't have any windows left because you've shot them out with your gun by mistake. Yeehaa!

        A young man, 14 years old, is sitting in front of his computer with its brand spanking new internet connection. He needs a nickname. He has a map of the constellations of the northern sky on his wall.

        He does not have a book on Greek mythology.

                I'm sure he was.

                      Anyone remember the Avalon Hill Game Company? Maker of the cardboard wargames which I played as a lad: Tactics II, PanzerBlitz, PanzerLeader, Arab-Israeli Wars, Squad Leader (and many expansions), Afrika Korps, Starship Troopers, and others. Oh, and Diplomacy.

                      I was saddened when Hasbro bought them and basically shut them down. So the name was in tribute. Used it first for e-mail.

                        Pre-computer board games. Those were the days.

                        I spent many hours playing Panzer Leader/Blitz, Squad Leader and Afrika Korps.

                          Ming and I grew up playing those games.

                          I was always amused from the suggestion That Jutland was best played on a gymnasium floor.

                                Yes, yes I am. I used to be a regular in there but it seems to have mostly dried up. Of course I used to be a regular on these boards too...
