> My friends at school always called me "Flash" after those old Flash Gordon serials that were on in the 50's, (My real name is Gordon Scott) so I came up with "FlashMan". This was all well and good until I went off to college and got hooked up with the Internet (it was text-based, but hey, it was free). It never occured to me, having gone to a Christian high school and all, that some people out there with perverted minds would take my screen name completely differently than how I intended it.

Of course, these days, there's probably quite a few people who would first or only think of Mega Man II, rather than the old serial or... that other meaning. Ahem.
