    So, Porrick it is
    Porrick is from Padhraic, a variant of Pádraig.

    Great idea Big Mickie. My avatar just happened. When my son was little (he's now 30) he called himself 'zooming man'—he was always moving at warp speed. When I had to give a name it just came to me. I typed it in expecting it to be taken already; but I got it.
    Have a happy and entertaining long weekend.

    Exactly - that's precisely why he called me Porrick

    Their dog looks EXACTLY like your avatar.
    I had forgotten about Wamba ... I think I need to see a picture of that dog.

    I know that Serenity has no weapons but she does pretty good with her engines. That and the fact that I figured Serenity needed to be mentioned.
