Wow... ok.. mine takes a while to explain... :)
Way back in high school I played D&D... and my characters name was Gideon...
Moving on a few years...
back when AOL only allowed you to have 8 character names I need to pick a name and I came up with "Priest" from a book I was reading... Priest was the alias of a cyber punk and I liked it... Well... Priest was taken so I thought, what's close to a priest? Bishop! Yeah! So I picked "O Bishop O"... (the O's were decoration...)
Moving on a few more years...
I was signing up to a message board and I needed a name... both Bishop and Gideon were taken, BUT Bishop Gideon was not taken... I figured everyone would get it, that the name was Gideon and the title was Bishop... nope... everyone called me Bish... and when my son was born, he became a "Son of a Bish"... ha ha...
Moving on to the present...
I sign up here and I can't use my full name "Bishop Gideon"... So it gets shortened to "Bishop_Gid"....
Also, someone in between all that I registered as a Bishop with the ULC online... so, I am a Bishop, and can preform weddings and such.... but it's not like I do... :)
So... still reading? Congrats... you made it a long way!

That's uhmmm... a very Looong explaination. No, I didn't read it all either. I stopped right after D&D.
I quite using my old D&D names decades ago.
Anyway. My alias doesn't mean anything... It originated from needing to come up with a username. Took about what... 10 seconds.

You know from the novel by Herman Melville....
One of my favorite books from childhood and it is a constant reminder to, unlike the main character, not let obsessions run your entire life. Like this insane hobby (obsession!)

Neil is our Kole Tang's name. He is "in charge" of our tank! We are in the aviation industry, so Capt. Neil seemed so appropriate!

Tried to find something that said something about me that wasn't saltwater related....too easy. My other hobbies(obsessions) are custom cars(lowriders and old hot rods), guns, and collecting tattoos. The tattoos are the first thing you see, so that's it. My wife and kid call me color-book man. But they aren't the typical jailhouse blackwork type that you see everywhere. They are proffesional, VERY colorful, and the artwork is incredible (better be, for 200 bucks an hour) :scared: . I am constantly stopped on the street by people so they can check out my tats. Funny thing is, about a quarter of them are little old ladies going on and on about how pretty they are
I go in for more 1 or 2 times a month, and plan on being covered from neck to ankles eventually.
Got pics if anyone's interested. And they are all family freindly..... I'm 35, but my momma would still smack the %#$- out of me if I got anything vulgar in plain sight.
Had to promise her a long time ago I wouldn't do that.
Anyway, that's my story.
Peace,
Bobby
