Um checkcing your handle, I'm wondering if we're related.

Yeah, a million yeafrs ago I was a hosptial chaplain and we had a health show and there was a chunk o' smoker's lung. It would at least need a very strong marinade.

"Um checkcing your handle, I'm wondering if we're related."

My father spent his working career at the same place... the kind of place were he wasn't allowed to discuss the sorts of things he was up to (DoD). After he retired I was looking for looking for a job change and his old place was hiring. I found out what he was doing all those years and quite a bit about his reputation. They referred to him as "Mad Dog" and I needed no explanation as to why. Once they knew I was his kid, well, the name sort of stuck. That was years ago...about the time I signed up to be a Freeper.

I've tried to not be quite so hot-headed, but my kids will tell you I've not fallen far from the tree. My oldest boy occasional refers to me "Mr. Road Rage". Guess I still have some work to do on that.
