Was nicknamed SwampRat in 1971 by a few co-workers because we use to chase drilling rigs around the country to repair the drivers and I usually got through the mud and swamp without getting stuck and the guys would laugh and say I got through just like a muskrat so they called me the SwampRat, the name stuck and when I meet with the guys, they still call me that, they probably forgot my real name already.
I HATE mud and snow!!!!!!!

RedDog derived from the name of a motorcycle I once owned. A friend had bought a new Triumph Daytona 1200 that was screaming yellow and I recall him say, "there's a new dog in town... yellow dog". It naturally followed that my Kawasaki 1100 then be RedDog.

After being out of that game for 3 years following 28 years of riding, I just bought a Buell XB12XT - BlackDog of course.
I'd rather be dragging a club than clubbing in drag

I had to come up with a handle for the game Motor City Online a long time ago (awsome game). At the time I had an 89 mustang 5.0. Wheelhop  just sprang into my head as it was an issue with my car.

Brooneg is the name I use on all my online games.  It is unique and I know I will be the only one who uses it.
