That movie looks like big, loud and silly fun!
I always assumed you took your handle from that Brando movie, A Streetcar Named Desire.

I've had this username for about 21 years. It's a reference to Hiram Maxim, who invented the recoil-operated machine gun. He was from my father's hometown and he test-fired his prototype into the lake in my hometown. The bullets are probably still down there at the bottom of the lake somewhere.

I wish I had a dollar for everyone who thought the first part of my username was "Maximum" over the years.

reply

How about the immediate association to Maximus, one of the greatest scenes and lines of dialogue in cinema ever? ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKn-Agk-yAI

Any Grenada time for you? You must have loved heartbreak ridge

reply

The two noteworthy events that occurred while I was in--Grenada and the Beirut Marine Barracks bombings--I was not part of or connected to. For one thing, they occurred when I had been in less than a year. Truth be told, during my four years I was never in harm's way.

reply

Just being part of the American standing and prepared forces speaks very highly of you. For what it’s worth us civilians greatly appreciate and admire men like you.
I won’t forget that you posted this, your service meant a lot.

Thanks, Sho

no

Not an interesting name anyway so nobody gives a shit 😬

reply

you asked. don't get all fussy

reply

I did, which is what made it easy for you to troll. But I'm serious when I say that no one gives a shit. I would call you Sparky insultingly if your name didn't happen to be Sparky. Ok, Spark Plug?

reply

How do you know if no one gives a shit? I mean you only know your own position on this. It's pretty presumptuous...

reply

It's pretty safe to assume that no one will ever give a shit 😭

reply

prove it

reply

That would require me to give a shit. Which I could never. Stay fucked

reply

but you keep responding. why else would you?

reply

Sparky is a boring and unimaginative name; ergo, it is perfect for this banal site. Not only do I not give a shit, I do not give 1 of my priceless loads, or fucks, if you prefer.

I never use rubbers.

reply

WHAT THE FUCK?😐

reply

Nobody cares what you do with your dick, you are doing it by yourself so why wear a rubber you self-important jackass?
