My real name is classified to protect my identity.  My call name is John "Hannibal" Smith.  The name Howard Casto was taken from a fallen comrade I met during the Vietnam conflict.  During said conflict myself, and a group ofmy fellow veterans, were accused of a crime that we didn't commit.  We have been on the run ever since.  Now mercenaries for hire, we continue to fight the good fight our own way, helping whenever we can. 

So if you have a problem, and you don't know where to turn, maybe you can hire.....  the A-Team!

mines somewhat convoluted, but logical. my DJ name for the last 9 years is 'dj natty' started from the long dreadlocks i had when i first started djing, then as time when on the name got b@stardized into 'gnateye' phoenetically the same word with different spellings. after i cut all my dreads off i started a record label called 'fiyawoka records' which is where the symbol that is my avatar came from....


not super exciting, sadly

I used to use Vigo when I belonged to other forums, but now that I recently found an online home here at BYOAC as my source for the answers to life, the universe, and everything...I can't help but plug out a few hints of my little arcade project which will be unveiled soon.

Maybe when my project winds down to a finish, I will switch back to a Vigo Avatar, but if I take as long as some of the people here at BYOAC on finishing projects, It might be a while before I can make the Avatar switch.

so you're not vigo mortensen then?
Vigo Mortensen and I, we are only alike in physical appearance. :P

oh, and i think it's cool that there's two of us here with avatars featuring adrian edmundson (",)
I, like many Americans do not recieve enough exposure to entertainment outside our country. It's a shame that there are brilliant actors and comedians that remain commonly unnoticed in the US. I do my best to expose myself to these things, but I haven't seen nearly enough of Adrian's works....shame really.... :-\ Public Broadcasting shows some bbc stuff, but otherwise I have to look hard for anything else.  :'(
