I have two reasons for the name "Phoenix-Talon."

Reason #1 ...

The general definition of a Phoenix is a bird of paradise that dies and is reborn In the ashes of fire --the Phoenix is an Eagle-like bird.

As most of your learned fans already know, the Phoenix was indigenous to Egypt, appearing (according to the accounts of the people of Heliopolis) once in five hundred years. The Phoenix appeared in Egypt and furnished the most learned men of that country and of Greece with abundant matter for the discussion of the marvelous phenomenon.

Reason #2 ...

That's what Janet likes to call me :)

She doesn't call me anything, she just elbows me in the side to wake me and says please.

Just kidding, just kidding, I am a happily married man, but I thought that was funny.

I'm an outspoken Cowboys fan in Eagle Country, Reading, PA. One of the guys that works out at the gym that I work at refers to me as "Cowboy Dan" everytime he sees me, so that everyone can join in on the constant ragging of my team. Hence the name.

Cool, we get one of these threads about once a year, nice to hear from some of the newer members.

Skaven is from the Warhammer universe - they are a race of half-rat, half-man sinister creatures who stalk the underworld. I'm born in the year of the rat (1972) and always liked the 'lil creatures, so I adopted the name.

Yeah, it's strange, get over it. :)

Interesting that you have reflections of the Eagles in your Avatar and again In your Sig picture. At a glance, I'd have thought your id was ... PA Eagle :)

It's not too late to change ...:D
