I was a licensed wildlife rehabber for about 4 years. Mostly bottle-fed baby cottontail bunnies. Have released over 300 of them. I had the highest survival rate with mine. With bunnies you only feed them early in the morning and at night. Was the only wildlife I could do with my job because they wouldn't let me bring any to work. Even the personalized tag on my truck is BBBUNYS. I have since let the license go because Kansas changed the laws about qualifications. I was a volunteer and didn't feel like paying $200 to take a class for the licenses and the class offered was 3 hours away and was two days. I still sneak in a batch or two of bunnies each year though.

I started using Big Tool in the 11th Grade in a Tech Class I had. I had a pit bull named TOOL and all my family and friends called him BIG TOOL. My Teacher didn't make the intended connection.... So He was always joking about it.

It's an interesting "brotherhood" that crossed all branches of service. In my experience, Warrant Officers from whatever branch were a tight bunch who would go out of their way to help each other, and always looked out for their troops. Maybe because we started out as Privates & worked our way up. I like to think we were also closer to the NCO's than the Officers were, as we passed through those ranks. I thought it was the best job to have in the Army, whatever the specialty.

Mine is rather obvious. I am of poor Swedish farmer stock and my first name is Stephen. It was my nickname for many years along with just Swede. I also used it in the Army. I was gonna use 1EyedFatMan, but the Duke had it first, LOL !!

Mine's pretty obvious, I think. It was given to me by a Tennesee cop who is on a VW site I used to frequent when I drove a VW.
It's what I do. My signature with the drill seargent is a reflection of the fact that some of the kids once called me "sarge" when I was the hard-nosed guy on outside lunch duty who would continually bust them for chewing or smoking. That and I guess I'm the teacher you least want to cross around our school. The kids took a survey once and they decided they would rather have the assistant principal mad at them for a long time than to have me mad at them for a short time. But hey, they love me anyways!

I use my real name because:
1. I like to have people recognize me in the Internet, right JMAX?
2. I am not afraid to let people know who I am or where I am.

My hair is thin on top and thick on the sides. I was on a drunken rampage on my motorcycle one rainy night a decade and a half ago. The gal I was trailing decided she needed to wear my hat. So it wasn't long before my hair was sticking straight up. I was spotted by several of my friends that night who all agreed I looked much like Nicholson's Joker. They started calling me that in jest(...pun intended!). It fits my personality, so it stuck.

The Harley Davidson Sportster made from 57 to 85 had cast iron heads and cylinders. The 86 model changed to aluminum. Hence the ironhead nickname. I have a 1975 year model. 44 is my favorite handgun round.
