Torie decided Grumpy Gramps was too long to type so he started calling me Grumps.

From Frank Muir's idea of the "thinking man's/woman's crumpet" which he used to describe someone whom smart people find sexy because they are intellectually stimulating, or have a "sexy mind." I once heard someone trying to remember the phrase and coming up with "thinking crumpet's... something," leading me to wonder what a "thinking crumpet's crumpet" would be, and I became rather fond of the concept.

It was a SuperPower 2 reference. I'd typically take a Latin American power, play as a Hugo Chavez-esque leader, and goad the guy playing the USA to invade me.

It pays tribute to one of the great writers of our age.

My middle school nickname. I keep using it because it's simple and rarely taken. Also bagels are great.

Mine is a cryptic way (reverse pig Latin) of referring to the next great tennis legend (or so I prayerfully hope). I don't want to be too blatant about my support while rRoge is still playing.

Common male given name in reverse. Also happens to be the name I have. And "Leinad" sounds like a cool name on it's own.

A reference to my huge obsession with Hartman cartoons (especially Fairly Odd Parents).
If you know me well on AAD you'd know this very well.
