Mine is pretty straight forward I think .

 

[Hakunin]

Well, Hakunin is the crazy shaman from Fallout 2, one of my favorite computer games.

I named my awesome Hobgoblin fighter for an AD&D campaign Ibn Hakunin, and he served me faithfully for over a year and a half.

Most other people in that campaign had lost 5 or 6 characters, and I was the only original guy at the conclusion of the campaign.

 

[Paulson]

It's my last name.

 

[SWScorch]

{SW}Scorch is my pilot name for the game Descent3. I chose Scorch because I like fire, but I got the inspiration upon looking at a bag of microwave popcorn which had the word on it, and I just thought it had a nice ring to it. {SW} is the name of the clan I am in- Snot Whoopers

 

[Cyberian]

<< Plastic Jesus, he's so cool ...
He walks across my swimmin' pool

Just part of a chant that we used to sing while running in the Marine Corps about a Plastic Jesus sitting on a dashboard.

Apparently a spin-off from a folk song back at the beginning of the '60s >>

Don Imus used to sing parts of this on the radio when he was on "Imus in the Morning" in NY City many years ago.

Plastic Jesus

I don't care if it rains of freezes
'Long as I got my Plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car.

Through my trials and tribulations
And my travels through the nations
With my Plastic Jesus I'll go far.
Plastic Jesus! Plastic Jesus,
Riding on the dashboard of my car

[TripleJ]

Triple J is a radio station I listen to a lot. They are government funded so there aren't any commercials and making money is none of their concern. They just really have a passion for music. They introduce me to a lot of new music which is hardly ever or never played on the commercial stations. It is really one of a kind.

Listen to Triple J
