Re: Just Wondering....
Mine is from the days I played The One Ring RPG. It was the name of a particularly nasty NPC Gladiator...

Re: Just Wondering....
Mine's just "oops" backwards.
------------------
Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.

Re: Just Wondering....
I came up with it and it stuck 
Especially when I started pulling name-appropriate stunts in games. One SE3 (hotseat) game I came from behind and won in 5 turns by blowing up all the other player's stars.. at the same time. One turn he's kicking my ***, the next he's down to his war fleet only with all his planets in cinders. Cloacking is good.
The other nick I use is Stalker-D (see a pattern yet? :P) but I only use it in games where I feel like playing with people's heads (CounterStrike, newbies with AWPs on the other team. Me with a knife, FF on. muwaahaa..) since people make lame jokes out of it too often.

Re: Just Wondering....
My name comes from my cat, Spoogy. It just happens that he commands a powerful intergalatic starship, so that's where the captain comes in.

Re: Just Wondering....
Mine's easy, it's the name of one of my favorite movies. I used to use a variation on my name, but back in the era when message Boards were more open, no registering or having passwords, the atmosphere on some of the message Boards I frequented would often get nasty. I didn't want to have a username to closely related to my real name. It just happened that TNT was having a Peter Sellers festival that weekend, so I chose this one. I could have chosen "Chancey" or "Inspector Cluesceau". The amazing thing is that as I wander around the web and glom onto new Boards I can usually use this username. I guess people forget about the old classics.

Re: Just Wondering....
My name is the name I use when I play aok Online. Though, it is TOnto_Isbla on there, since I am in a clan. |

Re: Just Wondering....
It's a nickname I picked up over a decade ago. In fact, the first use of it Online as a handle was in... 1983 or so.
I used to be a very large Star Trek fan (in the 80s)... In the best voice of Ricardo Montalban: "Admiral?"
