"I'll be back for breakfast!"

Red Dwarf resonated with me too, since I watched it as part of 2 Unit English in the HSC. Will never get over the fact that Rimmer was, and is, always a smeghead.

As for my username: I honestly can't remember! I used it a lot whilst I was in online gaming and I'd hear over voice communications "How on earth is a boomerang guilty?"
My pic was taken when my partner was extremely fascinated by this peacock that was roaming near a farm in Adelaide. She was trying to make it show it's feathers off...

Guilty Boomerang - Love it! 😉

what a top name and avatar! Be a great name for a Pub Band if there were any more of those in Aus. 😎

My username comes from the old rock/metal band I played guitar in for close to 15 years, it was PowerChuck, I added the ER at the end to make it a name, lol.
my Avatar, well, I Love Seiko divers, and actually it was the only pic on my computer that was small enough to use as an avatar.

I'm a longtime Brazilian Jiujitsu guy. And I got the nickname from a weird judo armlock that I particularly like applying (and if I may say so, am fairly adept at). :whipped:

What's your choice of axe, Powerchucker? Right now mine is a MIJ '62 re-issue strat that is currently at the spa undergoing some nitro relicing. In the meantime the Tele to keep me going:

prontoprint · Nov 3, 2016

Nothing deep with my username either, Pronto was a work nickname due to fact I got things done quickly when learning my trade and just added to my actual surname. Anyone awake after that description ?

The avatar comes from a watch I bought that said it all. Maybe I'll improve my jewel count as time goes on.

Very nice guitars blubarb! back in the band days I was mostly an Ibanez guy, I played Ibanez RoadStars.
my main set up for years was: a 1986 Ibanez Roadstar ii RG440, customized with Seymour Duncan "Custom Custom" Humbucker with coil tap switch, and the single coils in the mid and neck position were Fender Lace Sensor, i think blue and red models. it had a double lock Floyd Rose, and was painted all black with rosewood fret board.
my other one was an Ibanez SZ series, it was beautiful blue flame top with nice MOP tribal inlay on the fret board.
here are some pics of my 2 old guitars.

my rig was an SKG 8 space rack with a
Digitech GSP2101 studio tube processor/pre amp 2U size
a Alesis 2 chanel compressor/limiter 1U
BBE Sonic Maximizer 1U
Korg Toneworks DTR1 digital rack mount tuner 1U
Furman power conditioner and rack lighting unit 1U
Alesis Quadraverb unit 1U
ADA MP1 effects processor 1U
all this was controlled by an ADA MIDI Controller pedal board.
the signal then went to my Crate 120Watt stereo Amp Head, and into 2X 4x12 Speaker cabinets,
a Behringer 4X12 Stereo cab, and a
Marshall 1960A 4X12 cab.
we had a massive flood at our studio back in 2004, and we lost everything, so all that equipment is gone now. the rest of the guys lost everything too.
now, all I have is an early 1980's Fender Stratocaster with Dimarzio Humbuckers in the bridge and neck, and a single coil in the mid.
and a Martin acoustic/electric. this is a pic of my youngest son when he was born 3 years ago. a photog came to the house when he was about 4 days old and took a bunch of pics, this is him sleeping on my guitar. : Funny edit, before he fell asleep on the guitar, he took a pee on it! lol. the wife is dressed in all black behind the guitar holding him on it, and photoshopped out of the pic.

Bad news about the flood you must have been devastated! The photo of your son on the guitar is fantastic, and the fact that he christened your guitar is hilarious, the irony of the flood destroying your equipment and your son peeing on your guitar doesn't escape me either. Certainly one for the telling when he is old enough to be embarrassed in front of his mates 🙄

delmarco · Nov 4, 2016

Sometime between the 2004 Qualifiers to Germany's 2006 World Cup I played an online Brazilian Soccer Player Name Generator game and it came up with Delmarco as my Soccer name. My background is Brazilian/South American so it stuck with me. I use that name on all the forums I've joined from 2004 to now. So you can google it and find me all over the internet. Mostly you will find BMW stuff attached to it.

No avatar yet; usename is my dog that I lost two years ago, beautiful black labrador. Here's Nell at my local beach last year, and this summer in Cornwall, my newest companion - same type, working strain lab and even has a great, great grandparent in common with Poppy. Love my dogs.

I used to work for Fidelity National Financial as an Enterprise Systems Administrator. When I was signing up, I could not think of a user name and at the time I owned a BMW Z4. so I just put the two together. FNFZ4

From my last post about this:

I never mentioned that I almost used Seikopath for watch websites but decided to stick with my standard ulackfocus for all forums.

The Operational Group Incursori (GOI) is one of two joints of COMSUBIN, Divers and Raiders Command, and is the part of Special Forces of the Navy. The GOI has its origins from the Tenth Flotilla MAS of World War II who, with his actions managed to sink or seriously damage from enemy war ships to 72,190 tons and 130,572 tons for merchant shipping.

Ramones are my best group for life.

Adamh · Dec 15, 2016

Adam is my son's name😀. My avatar is a close up of an engraving on a ring that somebody in my family gave to me. I don't wear it on my hand because it's too blingy. For now, it is either under my shirt or in a drawer.
