I'm in Washington and one of my goals is to actually catch a Steelhead on a fly I have tied. So, I do a lot of fly fishing with a Speyrod..a two handed 15 foot fly rod. My user name on the corvette forum is Zoomie, but that was taken here. So, since I hate creating passwords, etc., speyrod came to mind, and I didn't even have to put numbers in it.

My username is the same as my car's which was named after the Roman god Mercury, known for speed and mobility.

The Romans "borrowed" from Greek mythology's Hermes:

from Encyclopedia Mythica™ -

"Known for his swiftness and athleticism, Hermes was given credit for inventing foot-racing and boxing..... Both painted pottery and statuary show him in various forms, but the most fashionable depicted him as a good-looking young man, with an athletic body, and winged sandals and his heralds staff. His Roman counterpart Mercury inherited his attributes, ....."

Mercury is also often seen with a winged hat, as if the sandals and the hat gave him the power of swiftness. I thought the similarity to the RX-8 was appropriate but I can only hope any could rub off onto a middle-aged guy like me.

Only while zooming along with Mercury!

I love wolves and tend to be a loner sometimes. Plus I like some of the personality traits of the lone wolf (not the terrorist kind.) 025 was three random numbers so I could use the name "lone wolf"

Well it all started at a big BBQ event that I and others of the cookoff team entered locally. One of the guys from the other team came around to our teams site location and wanted to know who was the Juikster in our bunch.... We asked him what he ment by that and he said if anyone could touch his tongue to the tip of his nose further than he, he would be the the ultimate winner in the so called Juikster contest. Well I won, heh, He left our cookoff site with out the trophy.

soooo I went to play Laser Tag at Adventure Landing (for you non-Raleigh people, basically a Putt-Putt with all the trimmings got sold and themed as a pirate place) in HS I think, and We were all registering our names for the computer-kept scores and the Chick working was like "Whats your name?"
I said, "Matt."
"Just Matt?"
"Yep."
"That's not very creative, how about Captain Matt?"
"Sure, Works for me!"
And when we got our scores at the end, I was entered as "Capt Matt"
The name stuck as a screen name ever since then, figured its easier to remember one screen name since passwords change all the time...
Oh, and the 15 is my fav. number, (my birthday) - I use it in Autocross too!
