Go Hawks! We are talking about screen names not IQ Oh my bad. Sorry for the confusion. When I saw your screen name and avatar, I assumed as much since we all know that whiner fans have the IQ of mashed potatoes. ;0P Go Hawks!

A few years ago, I had a Halloween party to go to, and forgot to design or get a costume until the last second. Several beers and some frantic assembly later, I was Captain90s, a sort of mock super hero. I had a flannel shirt with "90s" on the front, ridiculous pants, and one of those giant cell phones that look like plastic bricks with a big antenna. It wasn't the best costume (was actually downright stupid upon hindsight), but me and my friends got a kick out of it, and I liked the moniker, so I started using it as my online screen name. Most websites that I have a membership on, that's my name.

I am free because I say I am. My freedom is not dependent on any government benefit or piece of legislation. My rights are inherent in the fact that I was born a sovereign being. They are non-negotiable. The government can list them and protect them, but my rights are not theirs to give away.

I was reminded recently of the John Candy character from SCTV. That wasn't where my screen name came from, although it was some funny stuff. It started out on a license plate frame before the internet because I play saxophones with a local band and enjoy fishing.

Came up with the name years ago playing shooters at LAN parties. I always thought it was funny to see the computer say "you were killed/defeated by 'whats his name'
The odd spelling is to ensure that it isnt already taken.

You'd think it was initials probably, but that is only partially true, and only as a coincidence. They are the initials of a business that I ran for several years as a hobby.
I did a search for an unrelated topic and this old one popped up. It was an interesting read.

Holy thread resuscitation, Batman!!!
I'm a computer programmer by trade and also a gun enthusiast. I'm not all about the pocket protector and thick framed glasses but the name seemed to work.
