What's your Galactica callsign?

[Topgun]

Sean: Reverend ? Chewie ? Sleeveless ?

[GalaxyRanger]

Double Spiral LOL on that. Yeah, Bunktime is gonna have to be somebody, it might as well be me. Now I gotta pay Solai another $12.95 to erase Dancing Bear.
I assume he’s charging you guys too, right, not just me?

Given the current Euro-USD exchange rate, that sounds like a bargain.

Bunktime sounds cool, doesn’t it? If you get promoted, you can be QUALITY BUNKTIME.

Still unsure about mine, though. What would the cross between a Beaver and a Tiger look like?

[frakkintalos]

Frakkintalos: Bulkhead

I really like that one.

Chuck: White Wizard
Audra: Siren
Sean: Chewie

EDIT: Topgun beat me to it.

Audra: Tonedeaf ? (totally kidding A!), Songbird ?
CoolOne ?

I think I will live longer as Bunktime because it’s two syllables. Dancing Bear’s three syllables would have gotten me killed.
"TWO CYLON RAIDERS ON YOUR TAIL AT SIX-O’CLOCK, DANCIN…(explosion as my viper gets taken out).

Another reason that Bunktime will make me live longer is because I hear it reduces the risk of prostate cancer :eek::eek::eek::eek:

That would be Spock’s pet Sehlat.

Less chance of Starbuck-induced painful Rash too !

Is that true? grabs coupon for skin lotion

Since I’m navigationally challenged, my roommate calls me Roundabout.

bkitty: Censor
KMehthas: Freberg (for all his song-parody abilites)
Chuck: Blue-Lover
Audra: Penultimate
Sean: 2-Bit

It suddenly occured to me this would be an awesome topic. They have never made it clear whether or not they are assigned or chosen…so here will be our rule:

1. Select a callsign you want for yourself. You may choose to adopt a callsign someone thinks up for you

2. Suggest as many callsigns for other people as you like.

So there you have it. Let the games begin. Given this community it almost doesn’t need to be said, but I’ll say it anyway: play nice.

EDIT: as you will note in the thread I have offered to make dog tags when you decide what your callsign is. I ask that you copy the image to your own repository:

Hey, mine is bigger than his. :rolleyes:

That is way too good to pass up:

[Old_Timer]

perfect!

…

Very, very perfect. (Except in war movies any character named “Gramps” invariably dies - albeit nobly.)

TFG - I think I have mentioned this before, but since you brought up the origins of Starbuck, it is interesting to note that the screenplay of the famous movie version of Moby Dick (with Gregory Peck of all people as Ahab) was written by Ray Bradbury.

Bradbury tinkered with some of the details, but did not remove the simple statement (that still gives me the creeps) of Starbuck to Ahab right before things start to really go wrong - “Ahab beware Ahab”. Starbuck is the only member of the crew of the doomed Pequod who tries to stand up to Ahab - and fails pathetically.

Also, and as most readers here will know, A LOT of Khan’s dialogue in the Wrath of Khan is Ahab dialogue as per Bradbury lifted directly from his Moby Dick screen play. Kirk as The White Whale, however, has always been a bit disconcerting.

This is stupid question, but was just thinking about the origins of the callsign “Starbuck”.
Does the name starbuck come from Shakespeare?

Probably meant to evoke Melville, but our Starbuck was given her call sign after being put in the brig for drunk and disorderly as a brand-new nugget.

As for me, I’ll take Tracer or Hot Pants or Velociraptor (if I’m a raptor pilot)

Hot Pants ! YES !

How about “*SS” for Barb ??

[Starbuccaneer]

I still can’t decide, if everybody else is going with a silly callsign, I’m cool with Beaver, but if we’re talking serious callsign, I might jump on Lucky’s wagon and be Tiger again.

I think you should go with Lnyx. Still feline, strong, and dangerous, but more of a special breed, if you get my drift

ps: Strawberry is quite nice- I rather like it. How about Strawberry Velociraptor?

Audra: Coolest

now I will stop multi-posting and leave for Philly. I’ll be on tonight for the migration to the PT frak party but will miss the 10 p.m. Have fun!

Sounds like a 60’s band or a new flavor at Ben and Jerry’s !
