Mine is a Tom Clany referance. In The Hunt for Red October, the American opperation to capture the Red October is code-named MANDOLIN, Jack Ryan's code-name being MAGI. Funny thing: in Clancy's book Debt of Honor, the Ammerican mission to take out the JApanese nukes in conducted by the 509th Bomb Group and is code-name Operation TIBBETS. The irony? Back in WW2, Col. Tibbets, in comand of the 509th BG, intruduced to Japasnese to the A-bomb. Clancy has a historical sense of humor.

I use this name in other forums, basically it´s my name and my surname´s first letter (plus a "k" instead of the "c").

Excalibur has been my moniker for a long time since high school. Obviously back then I had a love for the King Author stories and been using this for pretty much everything, my email, etc.

It just stuck.

I'm not crazy... just Maniacally Challenged.

Yeah. A science teacher in middle school called me crazy because of my love for blue vitriol(it's BLUE!) and I denied it with the above phrase.

It's been my favorite thing to say for years and years.

Actually Maniacally Challenged means that you are sane, i.e. NOT Maniacal. If that's what you intended to say, then good. If not, then ooops.

Actually no.
Take for example:
horizontally challenged = fat person
vertically challenged = short person

what it means, is that you are the wrong side of something. A horizontally challenged person is TOO horizontal, and a vertically challenged person is NOT ENOUGH vertical.

It basically means, the opposite of good. Complex, no?

My name is Matt, and I was class of 2008 (and I first discovered this site around the time of my graduation - it was a distraction from more practical matters, such as job-hunting). It really is that simple. In retrospect, I probably should've chosen a better name, but what can I say - it's one of the many things I have done without thinking it through. No "phallic implications".

I have also posted on many other gun boards under the name "MatBananas717". Maybe that's phallic, I dunno...
