My first venture into the cyberworld was on a forum at a politically-charged news site, where most people hid their location and some even their gender. I chose to give both in my username so as not to be too deceptive, and have just stuck with it ever since.

I have always been a ford fan, but I also like to change up quite often. Well, after going through about 8 different mustangs (from my first being a new 87 LX 5.0 to my current 06 Jack Roush), the one ford that I enjoy driving the most is my BLACKLIGHTNING
2021 RTL , brake pedal from "Web Boards" chalk white
Long story short.Back when I was a young E-5 stationed at Rhein Main Germany(Air Force) back in the 80's,myself and a group of guys and acouple of ladies took a Rhein River tour and after afew beers I deceided to tie on a bandana and take my switchblade and place it in my mouth and pretend I was a pirate and when two tour boats got close enough side by side,I jumped from one to the other.With that the two pilots of the boats thought this was "fun" so they stayed side by side and I think I made 4 jumps before my buddies decided that I had enough "fun" and the girls gave me the nickname "MAD MAC"(last name of "McCoy") to the roar of the crowd of mainly German locals onboard. I was worried that the "POLIZI" was waiting for me at the dock!!!! And that's my story and I'm sticking with it!
The book 'Cabal' (then the movie 'Nightbreed') by Clive Barker. "Midian is where the monsters live, and you came to die." But I am a really nice guy, just ask me!
Eeeee gads..... Usually I tell people to google it as the story is out there.
But here goes.
In the early 90's I owned a 26' sailboat and me and my scuba buddies would go over to Catalina Island almost twice a month for 3 day weekends. One Saturday afternoon after a day of diving, we went on shore to take a hot shower and had some drinks at the bar. The famous drink was called a Buffalo Milk. Yum....
Anyway after having more than I probably should have, as we were getting back in the inflatable dingy to go back to the sailboat and cook dinner, I had one foot on the dock and one on the dingy about to board when another friend jumped in the dingy. Well the dingy went all over the place and I fell in! Dang I just had a shower and fresh clothes on too...
Now just so some know why people drown falling overboard even a dingy or small boat, have you ever tried to pull yourself back up in a boat trading water? Without a ladder or some kind of assistance, most people cannot. If they are alone... trouble! Now when we are scuba diving and ready to get back in the dingy, it is super easy to use your dive fins and pump and pull yourself up into the dingy. Without fins it is near impossible.
Anyway after a couple of attempts to try and pull myself back up in the dingy after falling in, I finally looked up at one of my buddies, reached my hand up and said "Dude, pull me in I got no fins".
Well, thats how I got my nick name and it stuck ever since.

I was at a large conference in Chicago after a late evening of entertainment. The gift basket in my room had a pair of RayBan sunglasses, which I wore to the morning meeting. The Blues Brothers was a popular film at the time, and everybody started calling me Elwood.

Before the advent of the hand held GPS I bow hunted with a buddy whom had a terrible sense of direction and I'd tell him he probably couldn't find true north even with the aid of a compass. Normally all we had was a compass and a Forest Service map and by the end of the day he would be totally confused. Eventually he needed to ask me which way was camp and started sarcastically calling me pathfinderjoe.
No imagination in mine. My first name is Dudley, so that's what I use.
