LOL, when I first saw your name I actually wondered if the Oddball in your name came from that. I love that movie! Probably can quote you every freaking line from it

Please don't tell me I need to explain...
But there is some depth - call it Canuckian irony.

To paraphrase John Howe..
How can you not love a Dragon? A creature the size of a 747, with wings, scales, horns and that breaths fire!!! Far too exciting.. 
They are paragons of wisom and symbols of immortaility.. they can embody evil darkness or they can soar against the stars.. they can tunnel and dwell in darkness, hoard treasure or gnaw at the roots of the universe.
Now Smaug.. more than just a Dragon from the Hobbit.. but a Dragon.. that protected.. needed.. and valued his treasure more than anything.. more than his own life... it just fits..
Smaug..

Mine's another simple one the first website I ever used on a regular basis was a buffy spoiler site (the buffy cross and stake). Well when I joined the board I needed a name and the only one I could think of was the name used on the main site to refer to the troika, the geekmafia. Well it's stuck... as I'm sure you've gathered and hence the name.

1. I'm a philosophy major (hold the jokes til the end, folks), and the notion of causality is pretty important to philosophy.
2. I'm a theology grad student, and being that I'm a theist, I have a causal view of the physically existing world.
3. It just sounds cool.
Layers upon layers of meaning...

What a cool thread - I've always wondered about some of these names. Anyways, mine's fairly simple.
I have a shirt that says "Queen of Everything" which I adore. I considered using that, but thought it might make me seem a little full of myself. 
So I changed it to Queen of the North, since I live in the Great White North.
"Sir, you actually said 'wink, wink'. I don't think that -"
"Oh, you'd be surprised."
"Yes, the new plan will STILL involve rocket skates."
"YAY!"

Well, I think about politics way too much, you see, and Thomas Paine has always been one of my favorite firebrand, insurrectionist writers. So I modified the spelling a bit in tribute to Jayne. Also, it makes me sound tough.
