So, I'm not sure what the appropriate term is--nick, handle, username, etc. Â However, I thought I'd start up a thread where people can explain where their chosen forum usernames came from. Â Perhaps this will give us an insight to each other's psyches--which may, or may not, be a good thing....
My personal nick heralds back to TLE days, when many of us worked on the staff together. Â We had nicknames for former editors who stepped down, but kept coming to the magazine. Â Prometheus, for instance, was called 'Obie Wan.' Â (Because he was kind of a benevolent spirit of an editor, dead but still hanging around to help out.)
Well, when I stepped down from editor-hood, it was generally decided that I couldn't possibly be a 'good' spirit, like Prometheus. Â They decided to start calling me the Evil Undead Overlord (since, during my days as an editor, I was sometimes called the Evil Overlord of TLE.)
So Evil Undead OverLord=EUOL. Â Pronounced 'Yool.' Â That's me.
