There's many I've wondered about. When BobTheBuilder asked about mine in Key West, and pronounced it wrong
, I wanted to start this thread, so here goes.
My Avatar is Rat Fink driving our Black Thunder with Tickle Me Elmo screaming alongside. I've always been a "Big Daddy" Roth fan and collect some of his work. I used to do cartoon work way back.
The Sig Line took a long time to come up with. I actually found the saying on a Bar/Restuarant wall and the Serious Off Shore smilie I found on-line.
The Screen Name I took because the boat is radical for a Black Thunder with the 3A's, 750's, etc., has two "Rat" motors, and I had to come up with something to finish off the word Radical and be unique, so.....
