Naqam = Vengeance
El = of God.
So, Naqamel = Angel of Vengeance
... that and I thought it would be a cool name for a Christian Metal band that I was trying to get off the ground.

BenGoodLuck - Ben's my first name and GoodLuck is a play on Glock (I carry a Glock 30). We have an inside family joke - "do you have good luck with you today?"

I am a licensed funeral director/embalmer so the undertaker part is pretty self explanatory. My high school football number was 57 - and there you go.

It was either ^^^^^ or sheep dog. Not that I go looking for it anyway. For most of us old folks it's a term applied to a fixer, technician or just about anyone who can identify a problem and either fix the mechanical issue or find an equitable outcome to a sticky situation.
An old Navy friend hung the other on me awhile ago when I called him "FROG" (He was UDT, or if you prefer one of those aquatic mammals long before there was the acronym.), he called me "sheep dog." Didn't really think much of it until later and the better half reminded me of what they do, not just herding the kids around.

I shoot sports photos and use 2 Canon 1 d MKIV's which are great for that type of shooting, 10 frames a second will usually get some great results.

My last name is Metz so one of my friends in his best Italian accent called me Metzaballa once. It kind of stuck so I just use it for screen names.
