Shortened version of my original "Redzdeadbabyredzdead" name. Shortened to be more PC, when I became a mod. The Redzdead...name drew a lot of question marks, and offended some, but it was simply a pun from Bruce Willis' Pulp Fiction response to the question, "Who's Zed?"...Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead.
Anyhow...Redz works. My grandfather had red hair and his friends all called him Red. My older daughter has the same red hair.
...and well, there you have.
My original name on CB was lars1038, which is a combination of an old restaurant nickname and my lucky number (yes, 1038 and 38 are my lucky numbers)
