Ratshot Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Hey everyone, I never made an intro topic under the name Ratshot. Before I went inactive in the summer of 2009 I had Zorro change my name from "Broadside" to what it is now. I thought I should properly introduce myself under my "new" name. I've put this of for a year and a half, very pathetic on my part. My name is Michael Delaney, I'm 17 years old and I live in a little village called Browns Flat which is near Saint John, New Brunswick. To sum it up I'm on the east coast of Canada, and no I don't live in an igloo. I currently have a job as a storekeeper at the local convenience store/ gas station. The sole reason I got my job there was to support my habit of buying Lego, pretty crazy eh? I'm also a volunteer firefighter, its the most rewarding thing that I've ever done in my life. I'm the head honcho at the local Army Cadet Core. Some of my interests are.... * Hunting. * Target shooting. * Hockey, I watch local, International and NHL. I occasionally play hockey from time to time. * American Football. (My football nickname is "dirtbag" because I'm always tripping ans shoving the other players) * European football/soccer. (Same nickname as above!) * Softair/Airsoft (Something like paintball except you use plastic pellets) * Swimming. * Skiing. So as some of you may already know I intend to join the reserves when I get done school, carpentry or firefighting will be my main occupation. I can't wait to get done high school....I hate it with a passion! I'm a fanatical fan of Mr.T and the Ateam. Cars are a big part of my life even though I don't own one, the Dodge Charger is my all time favorite. I take my drivers license test is this upcoming Wednesday (fingers crossed!) Finding Eurobricks in 2008 is what has kept my interest in Lego alive. Pirates is my all time favorite theme, WWI/WWII/Korea/Vietnam is close behind, and last but not least...Star Wars. (Me Christmas day with my new paintball mask) I hope to be an active ember here on EB for the rest of my life Thanks for reading and fell free to ask questions. Mike aka Ratshot Quote
Big Cam Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Good to get some inside facts on the infamous Rat shot. Just kidding. Well I guess all that's left to say is welcome to Eurobricks? Quote

prateek Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Welcome to Eurobricks! It's nice to know a bit more about the members here on EB. I was thinking of doing a reintroduction too, but I'm too lazy to compile something the size of this. Quote
Ratshot Posted January 9, 2011 Author Posted January 9, 2011 I was thinking of doing a reintroduction too, but I'm too lazy to compile something the size of this. It took me an hour and a half. I'm a super slow typer Quote
dr_spock Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Welcome aboard. See you in the Canada and car thread. Quote
Ratshot Posted January 9, 2011 Author Posted January 9, 2011 Welcome aboard. See you in the Canada and car thread. I don't go in those threads much. When I get a car later this year I'll post a pic. Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Wha? You've been here before? I didn't notice... Good idea to reintroduce yourself. I, and I hope others, should give it a try sometime; a lot has changed in my last three years here. Quote
The Legonater Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Ah, hello! I'm sure you'll find this site incredible. Hope you have fun! Ect. ect ect.... Intriguing idea. Perhaps I'll try it in a year or so. So you are a fellow A-Team fan- sweet. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 A late but deserving nonetheless welcome to you Ratshot! It was nice to read your detailed intro, now I know the reason behind the Mr. T (and all his treasure around his neck) avatar. Quote
Ratshot Posted January 9, 2011 Author Posted January 9, 2011 Thanks guys and yes, I love the A-team! Quote
Dan the Brickman Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Wow, a member on the same continent at least. Most of 'em seem to be over in Europe... can't figure out why. I never knew you had another (forum)name. It was already changed by the time I started getting active I believe. Quote
Ratshot Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 I never knew you had another (forum)name. It was already changed by the time I started getting active I believe. It changed in July of 09'. Quote
Capn Frank Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 So, why Ratshot?!? I live in a little village called Browns Flat which is near Saint John, New Brunswick. To sum it up I'm on the east coast of Canada, and no I don't live in an igloo. I'm sure you do. Or maybe that's where your Lego is stored. I'm also a volunteer firefighter, its the most rewarding thing that I've ever done in my life. Sweet! My wife also volunteers as an EMT at our local fire department. Some of my interests are.... * Hunting. * Target shooting. * Hockey, I watch local, International and NHL. I occasionally play hockey from time to time. * American Football. (My football nickname is "dirtbag" because I'm always tripping ans shoving the other players) * European football/soccer. (Same nickname as above!) * Softair/Airsoft (Something like paintball except you use plastic pellets) * Swimming. * Skiing. Ah-hem! Why isn't Lego on this list? So as some of you may already know I intend to join the reserves when I get done school, carpentry or firefighting will be my main occupation. I can't wait to get done high school.... That's cool that you would like to join the reserves. I was in the Wisconsin Army National Guard, which is similar to the reserves, with the same level of training as full-time Army and Army Reserves. Thanks for sharing er.. Broadside, Michael, Mike... er.. Ratshot. Quote
Ratshot Posted January 17, 2011 Author Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) So, why Ratshot?!? A very long dull story. My name comes from a anti-rat/mouse .22 caliber bullet. I'm sure you do. Or maybe that's where your Lego is stored. Keep my Lego outside? I don't think so!!! Sweet! My wife also volunteers as an EMT at our local fire department. Tonight is Fire Hall training night for me. I was told that we are going to burn down an old building Can't wait Ah-hem! Why isn't Lego on this list? Come on Phred! You know that it is automatically. on the top of the list That's cool that you would like to join the reserves. I was in the Wisconsin Army National Guard, which is similar to the reserves, with the same level of training as full-time Army and Army Reserves. The National Gaurd is a really great organization, kudos to you for being in them I'm thinking that I would like to join the truck drivers battalion. Some of my friends went there and they love it. Thanks for sharing er.. Broadside, Michael, Mike... er.. Ratshot. Lots of names eh? Thanks for the reply warty pickle! Edited January 17, 2011 by Ratshot Quote
richthelegodude Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Welcome Ratshot, although it looks like you have been here a long time already! I also love cars, I hope you passed your driving test Quote
estephano (DE) Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Hi Michael and welcome "back" to Eurobricks! Hope you're having a good time on here! It's good to be back to Lego, innit... Quote
