Some of you have pretty interesting usernames. What does it mean?
My name is Ryan. My friend's little sister, when she was 2, couldn't say my name. She called me Rynie. Well, that nickname stuck, and now my nephews/niece call me "Uncle Rynie".

Witten + tenacious... fused together.
I signed up and started posting regularly over on the TrueBlue Message Boards right after Jason Witten made the catch-and-run play where the Eagles D swiped the helmet off his head.
[/URL][URL="http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/211545_100002667647597_1032386_n.jpg"]http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/211545_100002667647597_1032386_n.jpg (http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/211545_100002667647597_1032386_n.jpg) <----- a standout football moment in time we all know and fondly remember
Jason Witten — thinking about what he stands for as a player and family man + how he's always gone about his business — has always been a favorite of mine. He's tenacious. I think of myself as tenacious. There it is.
Not the most clever, ever, but that's the reason for the username.

The VTA is in the midbrain between several other major areas, some of which are described here. The mammilary bodies and the posterior hypothalamus, both included in the diencephalon, extend rostrally from the VTA. The nucleus ruber (red nucleus) is situated lateral and oculomotor fibers are situated ventromedial to the VTA. The pons and the hindbrain (rhombencephalon) lie caudally to the VTA. Finally, the substantia nigra is located laterally to the VTA.

Ha! We didn't rap, we used to call bars acting like we were a radio station doing a contest and ask Cowboys questions. Our radio handle was KOTX radio. (I'm sure someone will get it) :laugh2:
Anyhow, we would ask fairly easy questions and then when they answered them correctly, we would tell them that they were wrong. (they lost) :lmao2:
Anyhow, we would call them using the computer's modem and record them all digitally. I had them for years, then my hard drive failed. I didn't own a CD burner back then, I only had a zip drive. I have no idea where that old zip disk went.
