Well being that my name is Ruben and the guys at work call me Ruby. I figured why not Ruby Tues. Wish there was more to it.
 
First name and first three letters of my last name.

Boring, but simple and (usually) easy to remember
 
As a misguided youth I was searching for meaning. The neighborhood toughs agreed to let me join their rough and tumble band of hooligans on the condition that I kill a rival leader. I did so and led a life of crime for many years. Now, having reformed my ways, in addition to speaking to youth groups across the country I continue to attempt to honor the man whose life I took: Jacob Butler. RIP.

This is the short version -- My name is Rex, I'm from Texas, but I went to law school in Virginia. Shortly after arriving, I got on a softball team. The assistant coach found out I was from Irving, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys. We were in the heart of Redskin country. (It was 1989 and the only game the Cowboys won that year was against the Redskins.) He asked if I was a Cowboy fan, and I told him yes. He was too (but no one on the team knew he was until then. I was the third Cowboy fan on the team, the the rest decided we had the 13 Redskin fans outnumbered.) After our game, someone said "Let's go get Mexican food." Less than two weeks, and I was already starving for Mexican, so I was excited. Then they announced Taco Bell. I explained Taco Bell is not Mexican food, it's fast food. Then as a joke, I told them in Texas we referred to it as the Mexican Phone Company. The assistant coach asked if I liked authentic Mexican or Tex-Mex. When I said Tex-Mex, he dubbed me Tex-Rex. It was actually a take off on Tex-Mex, but it stuck and everyone assumes it's because I'm Rex from Texas.

Fuck the Redskins with Joe Theisman's protruding tibia.
 
I spend 4 months every 2 years doing scientific tests at Amundsen-Scott Station at the South Pole. We drill core samples out of the ice and analyze them.

The South Pole is a remarkable place - it's as desolate as you imagine, but that isolation combined with a historical thinning of the ionosphere at the poles and the eons of ice at the South Pole makes it an ideal spot to analyze the constituent components in the various layers of ice and learn a lot about our planets history. We can determine when volcanos like Krakatoa erupted, when the first nuclear bomb was detonated, when the Earth was hot and when it experienced global winter when the dinosaurs died - all from analyzing the mineral and chemical composition of ice.

I'm apparently pretty good with the drill, so the team called Iceberg Man at first and then Berg Man and finally just Berg or Bergs. It's a sign of respect so I roll with it.

Mine is simple. I'm a left handed pitcher and golfer and my friends dad called me lefty referring to Phil Mickelson. 22 for my favorite player Clayton Kershaw and college baseball number and 15 for my former favorite player Shawn Green. Nothing much but I needed something new lol
 
1. I am a pilot
2. I like the Rush song Vapor Trail
3. I like how Brits use "our" in words like Vapour, Labour, Harbour, and Neighbour.

I just wanted something better then Cu3 O_o or Cue ball, in the gaming community people would always say "Hey C U 3" instead of queue (I played pool A LOT at one time and shaved my head during that time, hence queue ball was my nick name)....Then I got the chip BUG and I have always liked Jesters and Jokers, soooo Chipjoker, and I wanted a better name that people know what it was..

Whenever I hear ugliest chick ever this image haunts me.
 
Well, I knew you were in Georgia. I didn't know about Burger Goddess, which I will keep strictly confidential! ... Same about your twin sister...
 
Cliff notes: I'm a math nerd and a retard

My nickname comes from my brother from when we were pretty young. I was a math savant when I was a kid, and once won a jar of jelly beans at school after I guessed the exact number of jelly beans in the jar. I also guessed how much money was in a large jug of coins within a dollar for another contest. I also have tourrete syndrome. When I was in kindergarten, we used to play "around the world" with math flash cards, and I won it every day going undefeated for the entire school year. At the kindergarten graduation, my teacher kept going on about it, and decided to do a quick game of "around the world" for the audience and I just stood there staring, and didn't even answer a single one, haha. She tried again, and I just stood there again, didn't say a word. Pretty funny. Anyhow, now that you know how awesome of a kindergartner I was, a few years later (I think I was in 3rd or 4th grade) the movie Rain Man came out and everyone kept saying, "Oh my god... that's totally you!" So my brother and mom started calling me that and the name stuck ever since.

Pretty cool. I did my share of analyzing core samples when I was a mining engineering student. Not ice though, just rock and ores.

Fellow pool players here too I see. Another hobby I picked up in university. I'm sure if I spent less time at the pool tables between classes I would have done better in class. I even got pretty good at playing pool one handed since I usually had a beer in the other hand.

I think my username is pretty self explanatory. Tyranosaurus_Chan

That's awesome! Sounds like a lot of fun. Would be an incredible experience! Difficult, I'm sure, but worth it.
