On my mission in south texas in '97, i was trasnferring into Corpus Christi, on my way the new DL couldn't remember my name and told my future companion, my name was fuego.
well i got off the Transfer wagon, with my texas shaped shades on, got off and was just hugging everyone. You see, i had been out for two months and had a trainer that didn't believe in getting up and staying out, but did believe in long lunches. I was pretty excited to move.
So they just laughed and called me fuego.
when i started my email account with rocketmail (ahh, a blast from the past before it became yahoo mail), i tried fuego but it was gone, so using my bad spanish (pocho = texmex which is just horrible spanish) i came up with giant fire: fuegote (a la grandote). only to learn it should have been fuegon...oh well...it's there and it's been my online name since 97.
