Mine is from a Doonesbury character with the rationale lost aeons ago, but I have a proud tradition to uphold.

It’s also [code](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-the-origin-of-your-sdmb-name/919810/90) for @snfaulkner , which is also a lingering tradition.

I am not nearly as good looking as @TriPolar though, who by handle looks like me, but IRL he rivals Schwarzenegger in both body build, wit, and wealth.
