Good thread OP and thank you for your service in the Military. Thanks also to
the other veterans who've posted.
When I 1st registered, I tried to sellect a couple of user ID's and it rejected them
and stated that they were taken. I don't really remember what they actually were.
I thought for a minute and come up with Badbeat13. I was playing quite a bit of
Texas Hold'em at work at the time(those days are gone). It seemed that I'd have
the best hand going into the river card 90% of the time, but was only winning
about half of those hands. I just thought of the poker term, 'bad beat'.
I like to put numbers in the front or at the end of user ID's or passwords and 13
is an unlucky number to most, so it just seamed fitting to me to put it right along
side of bad beat. 13 is actually my favorite number though. I've been a Dolphin
fan since 1981 and when they drafted Dan Marino(#13) in 1983, he became my
favorite player and 13 became my favorite number.
Nice thread and I hope more people post, it's an interesting read.
