Hi. Im john and im an oddball.
Long ago at the same camping trip/booze-fest im heading to tomorrow, my truck broke down. So i shot it and left it for dead. Everyone else left except two other trucks. One of the others made the brilliant call to go mudding, where he promptly burned his clutch like cheap microwave popcorn. Unbuttered. I digress.
Anyway, down to one truck, three loads of camp gear and 6 people, i took action. My fuel pump failed and id shot the starter or something and a tire. No spare. Dont even remember how i fixed the tube on the old splitrim, but did. Siphoned gas into a two gal can, bungied it top of the cab, with a gravity siphon direct to the carb. Pop started it, yanked popcorn-clutch dude outa the mud, and towed him from about lovers leap to downtown sacramento stopping ever so often to refill the can.
Eveyone at the camp trip earns a nickname, therefore, my entire official nickname is boom-boom-johnnyrig. But johnnyrig seemed to stick best over the 20 year stretch. Also the trip on which i met my better half and now mother of my children. But she just calls me goddamit, or somethin.
I like my nickname. Im always juryrigging something, and mcgyver was taken. Anyway, beats the hell out of the nickname a friend of mine earned- dickhead.

I'm a dog
In Delhi.
A free-ranging urban street dog to be exact.
You can read about my kind in this link,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_dog
Many of my brothers and sisters can be seen (and probably a few of my dads though I don't remember which is my mom) if you google, street dogs in india.

I have always liked Apple computers and The Lisa was an early model.
Avatar is me following the example of my cat who always seems serene and content sitting in a cardboard box, so I got my own (large) cardboard box.

I'm a dad, but not fat. Just not as skinny as I used to be. Kind of a fat whippet.

My mother-in-law kept trying to say my name in Spanish (Tomas), but it kept coming out "Tom-moose." "Moose" then stuck, which evolved into "Mooser." My wife calls me that more than she calls me Tom.

A label given to me by the locales. Not of my own making but when I'm at my best I try to wear it with a certain dignity.

I'm another example of a popular "new" name being over used. I'm pretty sure all the Justin's hippy moms were sharing a doob and discussing what to name their new baby. Apparently a lot of them came away from the clouds of smoke with my name engraved in their minds. While I fail in grandeur compared to Timberlake and The beibz, this Justin at least can out climb those two icons. They got me on the dance floor and I don't have a Lambo yet though....
