I'm usually the guy behind the camera so not too many exist of me haha I like it that way though!
Here's one from a while back when I was melting some aluminum to cast a custom intake manifold to attach some Dellorto DHLA 40 carbs to a 1.5L MG Midget engine.
FIRE IS FUN! Yes that's a modified garbage can, and yes I'm doing it inside, and yes I'm sticking my hand into the flames with nothing but a welding glove and an old leather jacket. I believe I'm supposed to say "I'm a trained professional. Don't do this" here
And me and my wife. Yup, they let me have a pilots license
Oh and my username? Back in about 1996 I needed to pick a chat handle on IRC. I had a nike hat next to the computer (swoosh from the nike swoosh) and cmk being my initials. Not too creative I guess!

Oh yah, about the avatar thing - well mine is pretty reasonably explained, my middle name is Archangel (thank you grandma, lol), in one of my favorite animes there is a badass battlecruiser by that name, its designation is LCAM-01XA (there is also an LCAM-02XA, the Dominion, that's the bad guys ship), and the captain is the chick in my avatar. Izumi's avatar, well hell if I know, ain't nothing that I've seen in any anime...
Cpetersen, you a Texan by any chance?

Come on rupe put him in the corner for a couple days!
What IRC nets were you on back in those days? I was an admin on several nets and even owned one for a couple years back in the late 90's.

Wing was good too, for once the masked bad guy turns out to actually be a good guy, and also survive in the end... if you've seen the Endless Waltz move that is (have you?). And the 8th MS team was kinda disappointing, at least the last two episodes (what the heck was the logic behind blowing up the hospital ship?) - but I guess they did have to set the stage for 0083 Stardust Memory and the later ones...
