    Mine is based upon the design of a certain auto/truck’s combustion chamber. Vroom!

    That has been traded in for another truck without the “Hemi.” :/

    At least, the newer truck’s engine has some of the characteristics of a Corvette’s engine. Back to Vroom! :)

    I was put on the spot to come up with a name shortly after finding this place and in this particular circumstance (A tizzy) Nugent crossed my mind and I only needed to change one word to fit and unfit simultaneously.

    LOL.... I tried it and it doesn't work.
    Mine is just what my friends call me and if I remember right I had to add the m which is initial of my last name.

    What a wonderful story that is ...... Thank you for sharing your great detective work :)

    @mr1874 said:
    My handle comes from when I was doing genealogical research on my wife's side of the family. I had run into a wall with finding information on two distant relatives living circa 1874. To make a long story short, I eventually found that both relatives were married in 1874. Found the information by actually locating the original church documents showing entries for the marriage,
    with names of persons getting married. Discovering maiden names are like finding gold to the genealogical researcher. I decided to assume the name "mr1874" here for that discovery. My icon is a close-up image of the mintmark area on a genuine 1874-CC dime. I see that. at a distance,it appears as kind of a cartoon face. Anyway, the close-up shows the die crack through the "CC" that every genuine 1874-CC has.

    Was wowed by and loved proof Morgan’s when I first started collecting. Ironic now because I no longer own one and collect solely early gold.

    Yes, Paradise. Full name: Purple Echo Starbutts. Purple was her color code at the breeders. Echo was my call sign on the K-9 Search and Rescue team. And Starbutt... well, you'd just have to see it, I guess. :D

    Catch me up, please. Is that a picture of your Mango? (Beautiful Pigeon, Rollerman!)
