When i was younger, my best friend and i loved watching "muppet treasure island". Always seemed like he was handed "the black spot" when he passed away in '02. I took the handle to honor him. I never had a brother, only three younger sisters. Joe was the closest to a brother i've had.

Was watching TV show Mcgyver at the fire station when I was first new hire there. Mcgyver he was doing some magic stunt scuba diving in that particular show. So one of the other guys watching knowing I was a diver says "Mcgyver The Deep Sea Diver" Everyone gets big laugh and the after that I was called Mcgyver at the fire station. Some one even made one of them labels stuck it on my helmet when I wasn't looking. So anyway some years later my sister is helping me set up my first ever e-mail account. Of course I wanted Mcgyver but it came up with Mcgyver 1 million or something. I didn't want that. She tried couple different close spellings all came up with a number behind them. So anyway I told her to make something up that came up as just that one name. Hence "Macthediver" was my first and still is my original e-mail address. When I first found T-man and it wanted a login name I just used the one internet name I already had. Long story but that is the history of Macthediver.
Got another whole story goes with the saying below my signature.

Killed a big brown bear in Alaska. I'm glad you clarified that.

Beside the fact that I am the top predator, my name came from one of my off road trucks.
With 44" tires on the back and 33" on the front; I would claw my way up unbelievably steep hills with the spectators saying it looks like a T-Rex.

When I joined the site looking for coyote trapping advice my only trapping experience was with coons. Coonman was taken so I added the 300 because I like shooting a 300 Win Mag.

My first foray into social media was Archery Talk it just seemed appropriate. And it or some shortened variation like QBD has served me well on several forums since. It is somewhat unusual (never had an issue with it being already taken by someone else) and it is easy to remember.
