Making fun of Shatner's acting?!?!? Burn the witch!! Heretic! You and your evil anti Canada talk.Funny, I chose mine for the love of 1960s Star Trek characters portrayed with the lens of the 21st Century and making fun of William Shatner's acting.
Haha
Makes perfect sense to me.I'm a military aviation geek(for almost half a century). When I was 12, I had read and memorized the pilot's manual for the B-17 bomber, the P-51 Mustang and any other aircraft I could get my hands on. Then I moved up to the jet era and Vietnam/cold war stuff. I read a book back in the late '80s called "Sweetwater Gunslinger 201". It was about an F-14 squadron called the Gunslingers(they're real, even though this is a novel) Sweetwater was the pilot's call sign, while Gunslinger 201 was the Tomcat assigned to him. "Gunslinger" stuck with me, always thought it was cool, so I knew it would be somewhere in my handle. So I'm putting together my SC account, and I'm stuck on this silly name for about 45 minutes and my mind starts to wander. I start thinking about this astronomy article I had read recently and connecting the themes to the word "Gunslinger". It came down to "Black Hole" and "Dark Matter" so I flipped a coin and Captain Dark Matter Gunslinger was born, a drunk space janitor who can fly any ship in the universe(as long as it has an autopilot)
