    ever wish you had picked a cooler az handle?

    The only names I can think of that are cooler than what I chose are Clint Eastwood (I think it's already been taken and there will never be another), and Cool Hand Luke (I'm not cool enough to pull off a Kurt Russell character, let alone Paul Newman)! -Snake
