Oh, I did that ages ago. See HERE. Mar 09, 2008. :D

I did run across another picture a few days ago of some wildly younger Rik Littlefield. It's this photo, shown in context in this rogues' gallery. Oddly enough, I do remember working with most of those people back in 1977. I also remember wearing sideburns then, and the glasses look familiar, and... Perhaps that's actually me?? :shock:

apparently I'm an American journalist who doesn't like the government, might explain why I get hassled at American immigration sometimes just after he's written a thought provoking article !

AndrewC is well, Andrew and first letter of my family name - some bulletin boards have issues with my family name and block it !

"Explain your user name." Uh...it was on my "birth certificate?" :lol: I try to be pretty much an up-front kind of guy. :D

Some very interesting usernames here and quite often I never pick the right reason as to why someone has that name (except for Cyclops :D ). Mine is a pretty long story so I'll drastically shorten it. Ended up heading to hospital about 12 years ago with a lump on my thyroid. Was told the news wasn't good so I had myself dead and buried. A good friend gave me a little silver gecko as a good luck charm before the op. I was told to aim for something good after the op, so I vowed to have a tattoo of a gecko if I came through triumphant. I did come through and four weeks later had the gecko tattoo done just left of my heart. (My hubby reckons by the time I'm 80, it should be down around my waist somewhere :roll: )

Cheers
