Mine:
Duroc I got from a Stephen R. Donaldson book ... One of the "Words of power". I've been using it since the Commodore BBS days. When I got on the internet, I discovered that a duroc is a type of pig as well! Oops. And that some other people were using it! So I slapped shark on the end cuz I like sharks. heh

The STORY OF SCOOBMASTER
<-------------------------I

When I was in my last year of high school, some friends and I started working as co-ops in a local manufacturing plant. After a few weeks of getting acclimated, we were given some minute leadership roles over some smaller projects. This somtimes required us to lead a small group of temporary workers (unskilled laborers hired through an agency). These were usually men that had dropped out of school early in life and could not be trusted to use power tools safely My friends nicknamed them "Scooby-Dumbs" after Scooby-Doo's dimwitted Grey cousin. This soon becamed shortened to just "Scoobs". Somehow I seemed to be leading groups of these "Scoobs" more often than any of my co-workers - so they dubbed me the "Scoob-Master"!

This all took place back in the late '80s before Scooby-Doo became "retro-trendy" For reasons I cannot fathom, the moniker stuck.

So...... I have come to accept it.

I am the SCOOBMASTER!

Back in the early days of Ultima Online, when you were killed, you were turned into a ghost.... so a friend thought being named Ghost was a bit of funny irony ....been using the nickname a lot for games ever since

it was derived from a car message board. my first name, and the RT is actually "R/T" in terms of Dodge cars.. (I have a neon R/T) but I'm an R/T fan from any era in general!

Scorch, well, it's just a cool word. And I like fire.

As for the SW, its the initials from a clan I was a part of in the game Descent3. Snot Whoopers :)

The name I used in MMORPG's is Calyxto Chaos. It didn't seem especially appropriate for non-game related message boards so I shortened it to CChaos.
