My username came from a book...or rather a trilogy. It wasn't great, as most 60's sci-fi was on the campy, pulp side. The name does have the advantage of being universally available.

self explanatory......as of almost a year ago!

Maybe I should think of changing it!

Opus The Penguin from the 80's comic strip 'Bloom County' has always been a favorite of mine.

I adopted the Opus The Penguin or a similar pseudonym ever since I started going online in 1984. BBS on a C-64 with a 300 baud modem...whoohoo.... We actually had users from one end of King County to another!!!

Funny. We couldn't afford the Commodore, so I got a TI99-4A for Christmas!

Oh dear-

Okay, so my name is both a reference to "The Lion in Winter" (greatest movie ever made-1969 version) and Eddard Stark's honorable demise at the hands of my beloved Lannister Lions in George Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" series, better known as the HBO Series, "Game of Thrones".

That's new to me.
Many early Radiator Pluid adopters have gas mask themed avatars. I tend to vape more WTA than Pluid these days, but I've grown attached to the avatar.

Edit: I figure if people want to know what I really look like, they'll look at my profile.

You need a perma-link to the archived posts in the old Dead Dog Saloon with the more detailed explanation!

Well, what do ya know. There is a pic there! I hardly ever log on from the computer and mainly use this tapatalk. I don't know what anyone looks like. Now, I'll have to go look. Also, now i can put a real person to a username instead of that creature. Nice.

.....sigh. Okay. It's the name of my recurring rogue/pirate character I've been using in my D&D games since I was about 12. As if my nerd status weren't already set in stone.

Wear it as a badge of honor, sir.

Oh, to each their own. No judgement here. Tis okay.

I do . I come from a family of bikers, so if you were to meet me in real life it's kind of like Sons of Anarchy had a baby with the Big Bang Theory. Picture Opie (SoA, not Andy Griffith Show Opie) in an Incredible Hulk tee shirt and you're not too far off.

India. Motorcycle. Long dusty road trips. Close friends started calling me Dusty. The D is my initial, first and last.

[RebelGolfer72]

so.................where do your usernames come from?

Long story on mine. I originally started out here with the username Rebel(+ a3digit number that I later find out was a drug reference)...a name I use pretty much everywhere on the net...had it for years, and to be honest, the number portion was auto-assigned to me by a free email service I signed up for in 1996. So I gave tapatalk a try, and somehow in the use, it signed me up a new act here with the first letter of first name + my full last name (the handle most of you in this section remember me posting by)

So about a month ago I wanted to merge accounts and get my old handle back, which they did...but in the process, I got slapped with n infraction because my handle had a drug reference LOL. I tried RebelCat72, however there is already a RebelCat69 here, so I didn't want confusion, and just threw the name together. Rebel from my old user name, golfer because of my other passion. And 72 as the year I was born.

And my avatar. I had the Troll Spray pic, but really want to save that for the out of hand threads...so I picked Fritz the Cat, since his monologue (the first one on wikiquotes, and shortened here to keep work safe) pretty much describes me:

"My soul is tormented! I've been up and down the four corners of this big old world! I've seen it all! I've done it all! I've fought many a good man, and *<PHRASE CENSORED TO KEEP WORK SAFE>* I've had riches and fame and adventure...I've tasted life to the fullest, and still my heart cries out, yes, cries out in this hungry, tortured, wrecked quest: 'More!'"
