No but he and I went to a number of air fields that had B-17s. You could get into the plane but the passage way to the tail was off limits. I said "Fuck It",  no one is here to stop me so crawled all the way into the tail and and sat on this tiny piece of plywood with two 50 caliber machine guns below me. It was a tiny, tiny space. It gave me a very small taste of what it must have been like. I was there for a couple of minutes before I was discovered. Add about 12 hours on that stool,  lower the temperature to minus 40, add flak and a pack of fighters throwing their 50 calibers and that is what it really was like. Ignoring the rules and crawling back there is one of the best things I ever did

As a follow up to the thread below, guys, how did you choose your name/handle.  I play a lot of golf.  I wanted parfour but it was taken

"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines." Besides, as a revelation, this does not exactly reveal anything at all.  Except that I had a childhood.  Stop the presses!

Everyone always asks for the last four, so I thought I'd buck the trend.

Funny thing one girl thought I was LE because I had the number 911 in my handle.

was Commander of the 8th Air Force as well as overall commander of the United States Army Air Force European Theatre of Operations during WWII. My father flew 40 missions as tail gunner on a B-17 in the 8th. 18 fucking years old and shooting a 50 caliber machine gun at fighter planes 5 miles up, 40 degress below zero and the windows open. Meanwhile I mispelled my handle. It should be cspaatz not cspatz but I said fuck it no one knows or cares what it means. Now you know. I am proud of my father and he is still kicking at 88!

My Dad went over on DDay +4 and got hit on Aug 23 near St Lo.  Wouldn't really discuss it til I joined in late 70's.  Those guys still amaze me

did an incredible amount of reading on the 8th Air Force and it was only with great effort that I was able to get him to reveal anything and even then it wasn't much. I do remember him saying the reason he joined the Air Force was because if he did manage to live through the mission he didn't have to worry about being killed until the next time he flew. Granted that could be the next day but it usually wasn't and an infantry guy like your Dad could bite the bullet at any time day or night.  
18 years old and risking getting blown out of the fucking sky. It is mind boggling.

Did he ever watch "Memphis Belle?" One of the best war movies ever.

My hero is the same age and was the bombardier/navagator on a B-26, also in the 8th.  Survived more than 50 missions.

The topic has come up before, though not in a while. Here is an interesting thread from the newbie board from about a year ago

Perfectstorm,

First thing that comes to mind when I see your handle is that movie "The Perfect Storm."  I love that movie.

I was thinking of my morning wood when the sunrises and I love Michael Jordan.  It made sense that my handle should be sunrise2323.

I should add "sunrise" was taken so I just added 2323 twice for MJ.  

Lol, MJ does not give me morning wood.

Actually, my first choice (which I used years ago) was already taken. My current handle is a slight variation. Just conveys my personal preference with a lady, nothing more.

all lepidoptera.  my favorite specimen is, in fact, a moth.  but "butterflydust" sounded prettier than "moth dust."  my bedroom is like a lepidoptera graveyard.  i have even given lepidoptera as gifts.  (i know, how charming... "i am glad you are in my life!  here's a dead thing as a gift!")

and actually, "butterfly dust" is comprised of millions of teeny-tiny scales.  again, "butterflydust" sounded prettier than "butterfly scales."

I just thought you were ambidextrous! :D

My TER handle... just kind of popped into my head. Use to use Amber when I worked for an agency.

Alexandria I am known by, and it sounded intelligent and "worldly".

I try to pick a name that can be put in a guy's contact that could be a "guy's" name. (Alex)

sports drink they served at a marathon I ran once.

When I was married I ran 18 marathons........then, just like Forest Gump, when he was running one day and decided to quit......I got divorced and decided that  I didn't need to run such long distances anymore and I quit!

glowerlord917 reads

If you break it down...

glower — have an angry or sullen look on one's face; scowl.  
lord — a person who has authority, control, or power over others; a master, chief, or ruler.

...but that has nothing to do with what the name means of how I chose it.
