Never tried to pronounce your handle. Is it pronounced Jurk or Gguurck with a G as in Game?

How's life anyways, Gurck? I haven't really been on AT for a while, too busy at work and socially... We'll have to have another iPod slagging match sometime soon ;)



My handle is my name and the year I joined. Making some alias seemed a bit childish at the time.

My first name is Josh, and my friends and I used to read the comic Lobo (that was around 91 or 92). Well, if you have ever read Lobo at all, you know that the word frag is his fraggin favorite word... very quickly it became our favorite. Over time everyone I knew started calling me Jfrag.

The "Teh Foul" is a fairly recent addition that I added because it just sounds cool.

My current name is just the year and model of my car, a 1991 300ZX Twin Turbo.

I've had many previous names, and in fact have been a member of this board since 1997/1998.

I always think "FreakyJunior" when I read your name. :eek: It's funnier that way.

PM the mods. They'll change your nick for you. I had it done a long time ago.

Gunslinger == Roland (Deschain) of Gilead, son of Steven, Gunslinger, and Lord of Ancient Lands!

cK = "clan killer," from my Quake II days. Most "clan" members were quite obnoxious, so my brother, a few others, and myself would tag "cK-" onto our names and lay waste to most q2-playing clan members. It was stupid, but fun. Eventually, there became an actually "cK" clan, but I am not affiliated with any of that. =P

I was given this highly technical and cryptic acronym after my cruicial work I did in bringing home MIAs and POWs for the CIA back in the late 70's.
