Whats the story with your username?

Isn't Captain Trips what the plague was called in The Stand?

Yup

That's a great name for a band...

It was also Jerry Garcia's nickname early on, way before The Stand.

That's what I was thinking of. Captain Trips and Commander Flash.

Is it proper then to call them by their real name or the alias user name they have chosen?

Etiquette calls for the use of the chosen user name, unless you are 60's guy trying to annoy the people that annoy him.

OK Shirley ..... oops! Sorry. I let the cat out of the bag.

Probably a good idea as the bag was beginning to smell bad.

No one has ever gotten that degree. But they will some day when they get around to it.

I am suprstar cuz my friends all started screaming it while I was on stage once like 15 years ago playing old skool metallica guitars solos, I could nail em note for note. It has stuck ever since. If they call my house they even ask who ever answers for 'Sup' (soup) or 'Super' I dropped the 'e' cuz every variant of 'superstar' on gmail and yahoo mail was used when I tried to register. Even with 'suprstar' I still have to add numbers to get an account anywhere big.

 

[moresound]

Sup? Sup .

 

[suprstar]

That's what I call you in my head--Sup (soup). It fits. You're a superstar.
