Well, my original moniker was Capital Kiwi. At the time it was a kind of a pun, because I was living in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. Then I shifted to England, and it seemed kinda arrogant to continue with that. So I came up with an amalgam of that plus a reference to a great writer, which I aint ... the rest is not history.

oh, you mean like the limerick
For beauty i am no star,
There are others more handsome by far,
but, my face, i don't mind it
For i am behind it,
It's people in front that i jar!
and someone is going to look it up, make minor corrections, and note the author (not me!), etc., etc..

In a manner almost, but not quite entirely unlike Capfka's, my original moniker reflected my love of The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. My current moniker actually starts with my RL monogram, and incoroporates the original Guide reference. Bonus points for any who correctly identify the quote from the HHG in this post.

I like owls. I'm not specifically superstitious, (nor generally rational for that matter), but at several important junctures of my life, there have been talkative owls nearby, often Barred Owls. I sometimes fancy that they are trying to instruct me, (no, not like the arffing Son of Sam) to be less blatantly foolish. I have a predilection for predicting rainbows, (not a very difficult skill to master), (in addition to an obvious propensity for the parenthetical), and I thought that in the far far distant future, “Rainbow Predictor”, might be a nice epitaph or inscription for my former me’s owl-shaped ash urn. The moniker has nothing to do with pasta, the owl says. My dogs are not so sure.

In law school, we were given pseudonyms to ensure that our exams were marked anonymously. First year students were plants, second years were birds, and third years were mammals. I liked my first year pseudonym: boronia, a flower of some kind. It sounded to me like a Hungarian princess.
