Re: Your FI name, why?
Mine is from my favorite quote from the Bard himself Bill Shakespear. "Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war" . I always liked it so started calling myself Wardog when gaming.

Re: Your FI name, why?
I've been thinking about responding to this for sometime. I hadn't thought about the 'why' I chose McBiggles for any length of time since I did.
The 'Mc" cuz I'm actually an Mc, so I come by that honestly. The 'Biggles' because ... it's Biggles!
Look it up.
There maybe a load of other Bigglesiziz#? out there.
Here, with my mates, there's only one McB.
And I thank you lads for that.
And, that's a great picture of Terry Thomas, (who had a lot to do w/McB).
Thinking about taking the 'McBiggles' over to "Star Citizen" as well.

Being Irish, he had an abiding sence of tragedy, which sustained him, through temporary periods of joy.

Re: Your FI name, why?
I needed a nick name for my Blue Max (a DOS WWI flight sim). Since I liked Snoopy and the Red Baron I combined them and got Snoop Baron . So it has nothing to do with Snoop Doggy Dog or Snooping on people which some people have assumed from time to time Plus it was better than "Slomo" which I had been using for playing X-wing

Re: Your FI name, why?
Well its been a while but many years ago I need a unique name to play a FPS and I happened to be rereading a Judge Dredd magazine about a Brit-Cit Judge going by the name of Armitage. I've used it since.
Of course he got his name while fighting in the UK civil war from Armitage-Shanks the maker of toilets....
