"Stogie" because I like cigars, the numbers were meaningful at the time I started using the name.

trying to remember if I I've answered this before. . .

Came up with the name when I was doing a lot of online poker. My brother in law had the name night chaser on poker games. In a similar fashion, wanting a name that tied in my illini roots, along with giving the image of being a "loose" luck based player I chose Illinichaser. I liked the name and have used it ever since, no matter the forum. BTW, anyone wanna get the cbid poker game going again?

Mine is easy enough. I'm Irish with family connections to the IRA and I'm a huge boxing fan. So Bomber refers to both:-) Dirty protestant traitors!

I like AF cigars a lot & I love Hemingway novels, since most cigars come from the Spanish speaking world I went with ocho instead of 8. 8 being my favorite number and part of my birth year.

The inside joke here is that I write absolutely nothing like Hemingway. Most everything I write is a run on sentence or contains multiple thoughts / clarifications with commas or parentheses used liberally. I can’t for the life of me whittle down my writing to short sentences that say more than what’s written. Had to get sister to edit all my English papers in college and she’s a lawyer!
