    Longtime Rockets fan but can't show up for the games because I live in California. I do goto Lakers-Rockets to show my love as often as I can.

    I've been Major Malcontent a long time.....old text only BBS'es where you connected at 300 baud...only one person could use the BBS at a time, otherwise you got a busy signal. And real time chat was only possible with the guy who ran the BBS.

    At one time there was a Major Malcontent, a Corporal Punishment and a General Disorder...in my group of geeks...er...friends.

    actually.. little to no thought was invested in the creation of my clutchfans moniker.. I didn't think I'd even make post one.. let alone the thousand or so I've accumulated over the years.. but I was younger then..

    Yep... here's my second one.. from 2002.

    How'd you get your nickname (revisited)

    the first one ever was done by me on the original server...

    Lot of cool stories in there I guess... my description is in the first post.

    When I first thought of a nickname for internet use, this comics book just pop up to my mind, I don't know why. It must be some subconscious thing.
