Where did your user name (or names, as the case may be) come from? What inspired you to use the name you did? Did you choose your real name or part of it, some fantasy creation, or something in between? Do you use a special name at R'osity that you use nowhere else?

I've got two (kind of). My registered user name, jevans69, comes mostly from my first initial and last name. The number came about as I was registering long ago at some other web site. The name "jevans" was taken, and the form suggested I add a number to the end. At that moment, on the TV in the background, the movie "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" was playing. As I was getting ready to re-enter the name, the characters on the screen uttered the phrase, "Sixty nine, dude!" when asked for a number. Assuming it was Kismet, I came up with "jevans69" and subsequently used it for several different web sites.

Had I thought ahead and realized I was going to actually be posting and not just lurking I would have used my preferred nickname, "Captain Jack". This nickname was given to me in high school by my drama coach. One Saturday morning, while helping to build sets for the school play, I was sawing wood in the prop room. Feeling like drawing attention to myself (a lifelong habit) I donned a Roman soldier's costume, complete with sword and shield, before I carried the wood out. Without missing a beat, my drama coach stood at attention, slapped a fist to his chest, and called out, "Ave Imperator! All hail Captain Jack!". From that point forward, the name stuck. I've since found it used as a nickname in other well known places, which is always fun. Just remember, I'm the original, not Johnny Depp. :lol:

So, where'd your name come from?

Captain Jack
