Off topic but a bit of fun -- why your username?

Really loved the show - Fringe.

The only flaw I can find with the show is that somehow all of the paranormal activity in the world happens in Boston.

I was a submariner before being seconded to an OGA when I was in the military/government. Don't do that anymore - but it kinda stuck.

I thought it was a nod to the film 'silent running'.
Loved that film growing up.
Thanks for sharing 😊

When I saw that username I thought "Run Silent, Run Deep."

Yup - that's homage to my days when I spent my life in a big black tube full of seaman. Queue inappropriate jokes here.

I got injured pretty bad during the conflict in Afghanistan, so I departed for greener pastures and became a CPA. Far less folks shooting at you in this arena.

First BMW I cared shit about was my M-Technik E30 I bought while I was station in Bitburg just happened it was a 3 series so hence the name. From 1996 to 2017 I must have dragged at least a complete EU spec car back from the boneyards at bases around Europe.

It was great to be able to do that plus pay the minor duty ever now and then when a Customs Agent would ask for it. Most of the time it was hassle free.

I had a colleague/friend in the mid 90s who started signing his emails to me with Hyperion. I suppose he was impressed by the books. I felt I had to come up with a moniker myself and I thought about an arcade videogame - Gunsmoke - and that's how I became gunsmoker. Not interested in guns at all!

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw in the 80s:

Bluow your mind,
Smoke gunpowder!!

Not interested in guns either
