Hey man, just saw your 1 month old message, sorry about that! In fact, the username comes from a book but it is a character in the "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series.

The guy (whose name is Whiskeyjack in the books) is a major character in the first four books. If you like epic, military fantasy, you should check it out. The first book is titled "Gardens of the Moon" (yeah I know, not the best title ever)and the second is "Deadhouse Gate" (which is a much better title!).

"Now YOU'RE a dick for calling him a dick when he wasn't even being a dick. Dick."

That's hilarious and earns a new follower. Thanks for the laugh. :D

Hey yourself! Thanks for the kind words! And the name thing is easy-- it's under the 'edit your profile' section of your profile page. The first field will be 'screen name'-- I like to change it up, keeps me on the lookout for clever ideas. Cheers!

Without sounding too much like an impressionable young adolescent, I live in Laurel. So maybe like 15-20 miles.

Hey!

Thanks for the follow. I really appreciate it! I'm following you now too.
