Well, I am what I am, and I am a preacher. That's been my life for over 30 years now. I get to see some of the best and worst in people. That's why I decided to get my CHL. I've had a few encounters that could have turned very nasty. Mostly from people who were looking for a handout from the good church folks. It's amazing how angry they can get when they get told "no, I won't give you cash, because I don't have any." Glad to be on the forum and glad to have to camraderie of like-minded folks.

No interesting story to mine I'm afraid. I play poker on Pokerstars.net when I get bored sometimes :D It is fun, and I am quite decent, but I get bored easily (especially when playing in large tournaments that can go on for hours and hours)... so I have a tendency to go All-in hehe :)

plus, I live in Houston, so... there we go

I was asked about mine in another thread but here it is again. About a hunnerd years ago when I first got on the innertubes I was signing up for something that I don't remember what is and believe it or not there were several myrons already signed up. So, I just added the hull number of one of the submarines I served on in the late fifties. And I've found out a few numerals in an email address cuts down on the bot generated spam that goes to every known given name in the universe at every known IPS.

:fire When I started riding again, it was recommended that I choose a riding nickname or handle, because I might not like the one someone else gave me. My first bike was a Kawasaki Mean Streak, and Mean Streaker drivers are sometimes known as "Streakers". So I became Streaker.

Not near as interesting a story as the name might suggest. :coolgleamA:

Texas is the obvious part - it's where I'm from. 10X is my goal - ten shots in the bullseye.

I have quite the sweet tooth, and on the day I signed up for the forum, I had actually made some homemade Nutter-Butters and they were on my mind as I was trying to decide what to call myself here.
