Rick Inman:
I'd never been on a public forum before and didn't know any better than to use my real name. A few weeks ago a guy I hadn't seen in 25 years called me on my cell phone, left a message, then called me at work. How'd he find me? Googled my name, found posts on Scubaboard, clicked to my web site in my SB signature where he found my work email address (which has my work name) and my cell phone number. Took him about 30 seconds to find out everything about me. I don't worry about it, though, 'cause no one else really gives a hoot...

You have a web site? ;)
 
Last name Ridgeway which gave me the nickname Ridge or Ridge-O. First name Larry. So L Ridge-O became el ridgeo.
At this time I'd like to thank my parents for having the foresight to bless me with a set of initials that would not only allow me to identify my gloves, shoes, etc., but also get them on the correct appendages (at least most of the time)
 
love cats. jg is my rank as commanding officer of our area sea cadet unit.
 
a complete lack of imagination...

i like H2O* and my name is Andy

(* but i prefer tequila, thanks)

And here you thought you'd escaped that debt forever, eh? :D
 
Fin59:
First name is Aleta...... .Spanish for fin
Born in 1959.....yes, a LONG time ago.

In my opinion, that's not that long ago...

But I don't use the "o" word either
 
Azza:
Azza is short for Aaron.
Just like Dazza, Shazza, and Bazza are short for Darren, Sharon and Barry.
Its a Brit, Aussie, Kiwi thing...

...meaning it'll all make sense if I have another beer. :beerchug:
