How do you pronounce that - i always imagined it as cracker, but for some reason i got to ask, is it because you couldn't say crater as a child?

I used to smoke these clove cigarettes from Indonesia. The brand name is Djarum.

When I was trying to figure out a username, they were in my pocket.

Of course I quit smoking more than 3 and a half years ago but I had already been here a long time so... here I am.

I'm gonna go ahead and say what everyone is assuming. Crakeur got his name from the unsavory walkers of the night doing deeds for their crutch, methylbenzoylecgonine.

edit to add: I know you are secretly loving the fact that I can't figure this out..aren't you.
Sitting there rubbing your hands together with a maniacal laugh just like your avatar.

Hey Djarums,

I'm pleasantly surprised to find out that you actually used to smoke. I personally tried those indo cigarrettes too.. they were full of tar and had this pungent odor.

Glad to hear that you quit all together, I still smoke good ol' Marlboro reds.

Majorion = Maj Orion ... Not... Major Ion

Peace all,,

Majorion

times have certainly changed. Back then, we didn't have the photoshop and video editing whiz kids creating and debunking the ufo images like we do today and, get this, we had a white guy for president. Ancient man, ancient.

reply to post by Crakeur


I don't mean to so sound insulting, but did your name somehow originate from the term 'crack whore'???

I'd kill for those 10,000 points.
