Longtime Rockets fan but can't show up for the games because I live in California. I do goto Lakers-Rockets to show my love as often as I can.

I've been Major Malcontent a long time.....old text only BBS'es where you connected at 300 baud...only one person could use the BBS at a time, otherwise you got a busy signal. And real time chat was only possible with the guy who ran the BBS.

At one time there was a Major Malcontent, a Corporal Punishment and a General Disorder...in my group of geeks...er...friends.

actually.. little to no thought was invested in the creation of my clutchfans moniker.. I didn't think I'd even make post one.. let alone the thousand or so I've accumulated over the years.. but I was younger then..

When I first thought of a nickname for internet use, this comics book just pop up to my mind, I don't know why. It must be some subconscious thing.
