GasramGandu - When I first joined IFG, I had a nice HW90 airgun , which uses a gasram instead of a spring, hence the nick gasramgandu aka GG :-)

That's the gasram explanation out of the way. Now how about the 'gandu'? :mrgreen:

If I cd pick a "nick", I wd call myself "El Guapo". Not that I consider myself Guapo, just that I like that name from the movie Three Amigos. If you've seen that movie, I'd also like a Plethora of Senoritas, I can dream, eh ?

If you have'nt seen the movie search for clips on Youtube, they're hilarious

Ok, mine is much less complicated:

Leo as in:

1: a northern constellation east of Cancer
2 a: the fifth sign of the zodiac in astrology — see zodiac table b: one born under this sign (that's me !!!)

Dude as in:

1: a man extremely fastidious in dress and manner : dandy
2: a city dweller unfamiliar with life on the range; especially : an Easterner in the West
3: fellow, guy —sometimes used informally as a term of address <hey, dude, what's up>

Interesting thread.

I use the handle 'Pran' because my initials in my native language Kannada is Pra.na (like in Hindi)

-Praveen

PS: On a serious note , Mack The Knife personally I think you should change your handle to protect your privacy.
