LLUncoolJ:
I'm a Star Wars dork and I think the pic is hilarious. The name, if your can't figure it out, is a mash of the rapper LL Cool J, me being a dork (uncool) and the initial of first name (J). Although between you and me, I am actually super cool. ;D

Level42:
Mine is a nixie tube. These tubes were used to display numbers (mostly) before LED's had arrived. They have been in production in the USSR very long because....well we all know why. I've got a box of them and am planning to build a clock out of them....once I get all my cabs restored....

Originally this GIF showed all numbers but Patrick was kind enough to mod it to only show the 4 and the 2.

Which of course refers to my nick Level 42, which is the name of my favorite band, not a certain level in a certain game as some may think.

The name of the band was first 88 (after a certain bus-line in London) , but there already was a band with that name. So they wanted 42, which is of course from the book The Hitchhiker's Guid To The Galaxy. In this book (which makes fun of the whole SF genre) there is a big computer that has only one purpose and that is to find out the meaning of life. In the end, the answer turns out to be 42.

They thought just 42 was too short as a band name, so they added "Level" to it.

Fordman:
I work at Ford Motor Company and I believe in what we make and do every day!

Occasionally I take a ripping here on BYOAC, but its all good natured and I consider the sources from whom I'm getting ripped from!!
