my name is chris catone
we did this a few years ago. some may remember but who can name my avatar |
When I was in AF training people couldn't pronounce my first name Osvaldo, so one guy decided to call me by my initials O.O. Double O, and I ran with it every where I went. I've been flying a B-757/767 for over 16 years, so, when put together Double0757, nobody has that name in all the forums I belong to. To this day I'm known by Double O in all my social and work circles.
I don't have license to kill, but I'm working on it! |

I grew up with a Telly, and always wondered why it wasn't shortened to Ari.

I assume that Telly is a diminutive for Telemakos, son of Odysseus and Penelope, heir to the throne of Ithaca.

Some BFs think I'm Jesus. I'll roll with that till something more interesting comes along.

I have been a fan of Mapei cycling team since 90's . I own a Colnago EP in Mapei color . I dressed from head to toe in Mapei kit on every ride . Yes , I am a fred and proud of it .

I started using mine on this forum to reflect what commuting by bicycle means to me. One of my favorite movies is The Big Lebowski. There are quite a few followers of this movie that have developed a lifestyle call Dudeism. One of the tenets of the lifestyle is “tanken-er easy.” So, to me escaping the rat race of commuting by motorized vehicle lends oneself to tanken-er-easy.

When I was 10 years old in 1963, my family and I moved from Boston to California. We picked up Route 66 in Chicago and took it all the way to its end in Santa Monica. As they say in the song: "more than 2000 miles all the way." Taking that drive was one of the fondest memories of my life.
