I wanted to buy something on eBay years ago but had to create an account that asked for a username so I made something up at the time with little thought and it has stuck ever since... Keep it simple stupid!

Well, my first niche was where Astronomy and Physics find themselves crushed by the Paranormal Psuedo-science of UFOlogy.
And I've always been a little Mars ...um,... obsessed.
I think there's a whole lot to discover about its history.
And I wrote an amazingly weird paper talking about the Hidden History of Mars way back when I was in school (in..the 90's! -gasp!-), and I was invited to present my paper, later the first I'd ever publish, at a University a few States away, where these three KIDS (Freshmen) in the front row laughed and made jokes the whole time. My favorite was the kid who put pens in his hair like antenae. I had to take a moment to stop laughing from that one. C
So after my presentation. The kids came up and told me that I was "absolutely mad." And a nickname was born. Not quite "MarsMadness" but one wishes to be moderately protected while slumming it with you people.
Also, I'd met my first spouse as well. True story.

Blake was the name of my uncle's favourite dog. He was calling him "My Blakesterrrrrr" while he was hugging him. The dog was too old and one time he tried to climb the stairs and fell. I run to him and made him feel safe cause he hit his head a bit but no injury thank god.
Later that night he came to my room while he couln't walk to my room (the floor was too slippery for him cause he had no carpet till my room) but he managed to "visit" me. He looked at me, licked my finger and walked back. It was like saying "thank you for coming when I fell".
Some days later he passed away. One of the best and kindest dogs I've ever met.
I often use his name as my nickname for forums, videogames etc.

When I was 15 (start of my IM journey), I was a big fan of an anime called "BayBlade". In the final season of BayBlade, there was a character named "Crusher" who was a big guy and a very skilled person. He used to BayBlade 'cause he needed money so that he can cover his sis' hospital fees. That was very touching for me. So.....
