Martian

Dude, that is so bad. Hilarious, but bad.

Martian has a long and complicated history. It represents an evolution of online aliases that began over a decade ago. I use it now because it's reasonably unique and usually available, and also because I feel that it represents several aspects of my character quite well (chiefly my love of astronomy and cosmology and my oft-felt impression of being an outsider in the game of life).

Also, it lends itself to making a few different jokes. I like jokes.
