My spotter and mentor Steve Roe hung this moniker on me about a year ago. There was a flurry of interest in my way of setting up a TC Contender for the flop and Steve upon following all the posts on the web dubbed me "Flopmeister". Though some of the older guys( and you guys know who you are Melvin, Robert, and Steve W.) like to call me Floppy when they get the chance. Most of you know me by my former handle of Armorpl8 which in its long form, Armorpl8chicken. Few have heard the story of one of the ladies at the church I attend(not often enough) telling me I was a steel plated marshmallow. "That Joe is hard as steel on the outside but if you ever break through that armor plating he is soft as a marshmallow on the inside." Armorpl8Marshmallow is simply too long and I spruced it up a bit, I tell most folks it is a play on my hobby...which is about half true . To be honest I have been called so many things, some not repeatable on this webite, it was hard to find a handle that would stick.

I'm a pastor... called to "proclaim" the Truth!

Ouraydog is the handle I use in forums, but Ouray is really the name of our dog, named after a small mountain town in Colorado.

Lionslair is mine. It comes from this county home site- our place is called that.

Back in school - college - aka TAMU Commerce - the student lounge was called that.
Still is. My beloved and I loved that place and often went there on weekends and
some days. (we were married summer before Sophomore year)
Lions we are and have many lions poised about the place.

I'm boring:
Ronald W. Semerena
I've been "Sem." for more than 27 years in the Army now, so I just add the initials RW to it; rwsem everywhere but GB Auction, where I'm rsem (forgot the w). Originally I was going to be semtex (Semerena from Texas) but the forum where I was registering already had one...

Regards, Ron

So I guess I'm stuck with it until the end of time
unless the powers to be can undo my boo-boo

I am very unimaginative when it comes to making up handles.
My handle here relates to my experience with 7mm in IHMSA competition. I started unlimited with 7TCU, then rechambered that barrel to 7Merrell, later I got an XP100 in 7INTX.

Mine came from extreme overclocking of computers. somebody called me a nutcase for blowing up the computer at least once a week!

But, I have also been called a nutcase for being Crazy enough to shoot a 10" wichita (357SM) in the creedmore position.
