Now, what the Klingon Bird of Prey against a Star Destroyer?

(Well, if the Enterprise could kill one, it must be "what's for dinner.")

Now, back to topic.

My name CactusJack is after one of the wresteling characters of Mick Foley.

Turpin is my middle name, as was my uncle's and grandfather's. It is an anglicization of Thorfinn. I am a descenant of Thorfinn Rollo (Hausakliffer) Einarrsson, the 7th Viking Jarl of Orkney, b. 890, d. 997. Though his nickname means Skullsplitter, he died peacegfully in his bed at the age of 107.

So, there you go!

"prester" is also the plural form of priest/vicar in Norwegian...

Great thread concept Mikey! Mine's simple, although I do get tired of being asked if I liked Jurassic Park! Some time back (before we changed the laws here to support revenue raising) I kept a pet Brown Falcon. This experience turned my general admiration for birds of prey into a fanatical love of raptors in general, falconidae in particular. Oops that got a tad long-winded

My very good Irish friend Michael Egan started calling me Porrick (there were already plenty of Pats in our class) when we met in high school in Wisconsin back in 1981.

So, Porrick it is

Porrick is from Padhraic, a variant of Pádraig.
