MizPete Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Petey: lack of imagination. Waaaaaaaaaaay back in the olden days (after he'd been shooting for a couple of years & Robin T Banks INSISTED he join SASS if he wanted to come back to Mule Camp) he comes home & says he needs an alias. First thing that came to my mind was Pecos Pete. In the old TV shows & movies there was always a Pecos Pete in the bunkhouse. He submits it. Uh-oh. Seems like there had been a Pecos Pete, but he had recently died. I think Petey may have been the test case for if you die, somebody else can have your alias. Me: since I don't shoot, I started as Unarmed Bandit. But that was awkward, and didn't fit well on name badges. A few years ago I went with Fair Game because if I'm scoring and you're shooting, that's what you get - whether you want it or not. And it fits great on a badge. But everybody (depending on where I am) just calls me Miss Bobbie or Mrs. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Kane 18264 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I’ve always been a fan of Robert Howard’s work, and the Solomon Kane character seemed to match me perfectly in temperament and sheer doggedness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
