Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. We all goof up once in a while. I think this brings your thread back into the limelight (not james...thats a member name...). I went back and read all of the previous explanations. Cool !

sorry if I came off a little mean. that was not my intention.


Peace,TSK

mine is a russian submarine manuver.

Mine is usually Area51mafia but for some reason it was already picked or im a dumbass and put the wrong email. But I used to live by Nellis AFB and me and my friends would sneak to the top of the nearest hill and try and catch a peak at Area51. So we would be a "mafia" trying to get around the camo dudes and trips.

Simple. Cray Inc.. My employer.

But then, everyone of us have a story behind and in front of us that only holds value for ourselves. So my story is that. My member name is less valuable to others then some of the interesting and valuable information we share amongst ourselves both here and ATS..

Well...

"From the Sanskrit for the incarnation of Godhead, an avatar is the 'body' you 'wear' in a virtual community - an animated, articulated representation of a human which represents you, the user, in any virtual environment. Some of the more sophisticated chat rooms provide the facility to 'chat' over the 'net via the visual representation of interacting human forms."

and then I put a mask on it....

It must be my obsessive need for privacy!

I apologize to anyone for whom the name has added intrigue and desire to do some unmasking to find out about the "international man of mystery". I've only ever been unmasked once, and so it will stay!

My name comes from the Egyptian God of the Dead Anubis

Egyptian god of the dead, represented as a black jackal or dog, or as a man with the head of a dog or jackal. His parents were usually given as Re in combination with either Nephthys or Isis. After the early period of the Old Kingdom, he was superseded by Osiris as god of the dead, being relegated to a supporting role as a god of the funeral cult and of the care of the dead. The black colour represented the colour of human corpses after they had undergone the embalming process. In the Book of the Dead, he was depicted as presiding over the weighing of the heart of the deceased in the Hall of the Two Truths. In his role as psychopomp he was referred to as the "conductor of souls". The Greeks later identified him with their god Hermes, resulting in the composite deity Hermanubis. His principal sanctuary was at the necropolis in Memphis and in other cities. Anubis was also known as Khenty- Imentiu - "chief of the westerners" - a reference to the Egyptian belief that the realm of the dead lay to the west in association with the setting sun, and to their custom of building cemeteries on the west bank of the Nile.
