I'm glad the 1st account never worked, it was a really stupid name like Yaris509 or something. (509 has been the area code I've lived in most my life.)

.....and here I thought it might have something to do with the Jetsons

Just -Black Yaris- in reverse. Captivating, huh?...

Lol, it may have been subconsciously. My van was the same color of Astro the dog!

'Kalispel' is the name of a Native American tribe, and also one of my go-to MMORPG character names.

Killchain · 10-06-2014, 11:20 PM

Killchain, is a military/CIA term of a "chain" from the lowly scout/operative in some foreign country seeing the "bad guy" sending a message all the way to the presidents office of taking "action" on the bad guy. From the highest office all the way back down the chain to that lowly scout/operative to do whats needed.

I was always taken by the word and its meaning. I know some people don't like it but I do.

It is also the name of a city in a beautiful part of Montana (I stayed there after driving the Going-to-the-Sun Highway through Glacier National Park...before I had my Yaris). The city name is taken from the tribe. I drove through Pend Orielle County in Washington (where the tribes other reservation is located) this last summer...also a beautiful area.

Full disclosure about my handle: It is my Imperial operating designation. I am a stormtrooper clone serving directly under lieutenant Pol Treidum (RIP) and stationed in the original Death Star previous to the... incident.

And no, I am not a member of the 501st Legion, as 99% of them are nothing but a sham. I am the real deal; just ask around and see for yourself.

sheekeebut · 10-07-2014, 11:20 AM

So tk, have you been relocated? Looking for a new job? Last I checked the Death Star was considering a kickstarter-backed rebuild

*tk-421* · 10-07-2014, 12:28 PM

Yeah, I read about that. Not interested. I guess you had to be there to understand how crappy that whole experience was.

I'm up to a lot these days, although most of it is classified...

sheekeebut · 10-07-2014, 12:49 PM

Well, at least you're moving on. It's a good time to be a clone, lots of film and movie ops on earth.

*tk-421* · 10-07-2014, 01:42 PM

Yeah, no kidding. I've already gotten a few calls myself. I do lomee some Disney doe!

nobodywise · 10-07-2014, 04:40 PM

Let me stay away from this one

I love the back of my car, the front... not so much

why? · 10-07-2014, 08:03 PM

I love torturing people with questions. I came up with the name on a slightly insane role playing server, fun stuff. Have all sorts of slightly insane stuff written up.

I do as well. So many sales reps, clerks, etc. who are employed by most businesses are relatively unprepared to answer questions...and I can tell by the way they respond that few people ask them questions on anything but an extremely basic level. The only exception to this I can think of (off the top of my head) is Apple.

True. But I don't think you need to be an apple sales rep to know everything about their products. Knowing apples products in today's day in age is like knowing how to speak English.

sheekeebut · 10-08-2014, 12:35 AM

Hmm, I had never thought of it that way before...

You guys had best learn a few other languages, keeps other parts of the world open to you -- and you to them.

Anyway, this Android user says he prefers languages other than English. But he knows he must improve on his English.
