I think even the "non-french" (I don't remember the right word) could figure that out..

Yeah, I figured

When I first started joining forums a few years ago, the first one I joined was for 1/6 scale figures. So I tried to think of an original name that had some military background to it...

cqb= close quarters battle

101= 101st airborne division

Billy the Kid · 09-09-2003, 02:04 AM

My username is in honor of one of our most famous former residents - the colorful outlaw Billy the Kid, who is buried less than 100 miles from my home.

The famous or infamous William H. Bonney was born in New York in 1859 and died in New Mexico in 1881 at the tender age of 21. But he sure packed a lot of action and crime into those 21 years.

To some he is a hero. To others a cold-blooded killer. Probably he was both.

But I have always wanted to use him as a username and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. Was going to use Shredder in my name (because he's my favorite character). But I decided to use something not turtle related.

I have always wondered where it came from. Very interesting.

Either that or he died of old age in Hico, Texas.

~~Leo656~~ · 09-09-2003, 03:47 PM

Yeah, that's also been mentioned. I did a few reports on Billy the Kid in school (well, since "Young Guns" is my favorite flick ever it made it an attractive subject for me to do a report on) and I've read a lot of evidence both supporting and contradicting the theory that "Brushy Bill Roberts" was actually Billy the Kid. Personally, I think it's possible, maybe even likely depending on certain evidence, but I wouldn't put money on the theory either.

~~Reznorite420~~ · 09-09-2003, 06:07 PM

Out of all the movies/films in the world, ranging from ground-breaking masterpieces to incoherent, trite pieces of wasted film, you chose YOUNG GUNS as your favorite?

Not saying it's bad, it's just not something I would label as a "favorite" myself, just something good to watch every now I then.

(I can already see ahead the fate of this thread as it turns into a 15 page argument on the definition of "favorite", heh)

~~Leo656~~ · 09-09-2003, 06:24 PM

I know it's far from the normal choices people usually list as their favorite movies, but for what it's worth I've seen both Young Guns movies probably a thousand times each and they're still enjoyable to me, which is all I can really ask for in a movie. Add in all the little things like an all-star cast of stars who can actually act, a great dramatic script(s) based on a true story and the fact that Jon Bon Jovi wrote the music for the sequel and what's not to love?

It's just a solid movie with a little bit of everything. It's funny, but it's not a comedy. It's powerful, but it's not really a drama. It has action, but it also has heart. In short, it's just a plain good movie, and I think it's actually better off that it isn't more reknowned or appreciated, because as a rule, the more a product is accepted or recognized by the public, the greater the lapse in quality. If Young Guns had been a success on the level of The Matrix we'd be on the fifth sequel starring Billy the Kid's ghost by now.

Soft air? It seems like most people think that the Airborne and Fallschirmjagers fought the war alone.

Yeah I guess a lot of people would like to believe that he survived into old age, but I doubt it.

Either that, or maybe he's a 144 year old man currently hanging out with Elvis.

Soft Air = Simulated war with old (1940 ---> 1945) U.S. Army (and Marines) Uniforms and Old Nazi German uniforms palyed by air pressure guns and air pressure rifles like the original M1-A Garand, Thompson etc...

I don't like it. Becouse i'm a Policeman and...

*That Matt Guy* · 09-10-2003, 11:08 AM

Eh, over here people who do that are called reinactors. I didn't think people were allowed to dress in various Nazi uniforms in Italy. I know Germany and France have laws against displaying swastikas, I figured Italy would have the same thing.

**Kali** · 09-10-2003, 11:53 AM

Heh, finally I have the time to sit and write this out.

Okay, I've been using Kali as a nickname for years, even before I got the Internet. Even back then I was a writer, and was constantly looking for the right pen name. (I have stuff signed with names like Kitty Laine and Luna Moonbeam.)

When I started high school, I ran into an old friend who had been studying new age spirituality, just like I had. We got a few other people and started a group, and we all had special names to use within the group. I happen to have a handful of name books I constantly use for characters. I spent a few days looking through them and finally decided on Kali.

Kali is the name of a Goddess (whom I knew very little about until later,) but it also has a general meaning of "dark goddess" and "full of energy". This name actually stuck with me. Occasionally, if I'm signed up somewhere that already has a member named Kali, I'll use a second name like Gargoyle (from my time in the Gargoyles fandom) or Shedemon (reflecting my current avatar.)

Whoo! 'cuse me, need to catch my breath.

**Nturtle** · 09-10-2003, 05:28 PM

well my amazingly uncreative name comes from when I was downloading TMNT eps off of ninja turtles network, I kept them in a folder called "Nturtle".

Wasn't that story great
