Mine is a mix between the epic hero, and a badass rifle that someone told me about in A-stan.
Mine's just something I made up as a nick years ago (at least 5 or so...), and I've used it as online nick ever since.

So he told me that I was a stuntman because he used to call girls stunts! Don't ask me why. And Woodland! is just me pciking m81 as a name, thats all.

I got the nickname bastardchild awhile ago......
Well I was playing Ghost Recon under the name "smokey" when I got on a hot streak and started owning everyone on the server. They naturally start complaining on how im a "cheap bastard" and a "cheating bastard" and how I was probably 12 years old and sat around all day and played Ghost Recon.
So I put up the screen name "bastardchild" and showed them how it was. To this day it sticks even in my msn name says bastardchild. And hopefully I'm going to get a tag for my bdu's that says bastardchild.

the main reason why i added the Z was not to make it sound cool. i added it becouse while playing games online my name was memphis{CDN}, i got alot of stupid questions: asking if i was from memphis tennasee(sp) like if i new someone from there or, what part of memphis i live in etc.(even though in the game i indicated i was from Canada with a {CDN} after my name) so to stop it i added the Z so people would not get confused, even though they still sometimes do. but whatever some people are stupid

My parents always watched M.A.S.H. when I was a kid(only one TV), so I had to watch it too.
Although I thought the show was quite funny....even at a young age I found it's anti-war message beyond heavy-handed.
I always found the character Colonel Flagg incredibly funny...when he made his rare visits.
Like when he wanted the surgeons to save the life of a suspected enemy infiltrator(who he had shot escaping) just so he could have him executed.
And when he made his final farewell from the show, he made everyone turn around as he jumped out a glass window to make his "covert" exit.

Deep Eyes is also my favorite brand of rock climbing gear. It's spanish and very hard to come by in North America but it rules!
So I started using Deep Eyes Six (or DE6 for short) for online gaming years ago and it stuck.
