It was great to meet you, Preston! I never got a chance to ask--how did your screen name come about?

Its from the Original Viz Graphic Novel translation of the Ranma 1/2 manga.
If you are familiar with the series this will make sense if not I will explain more in depth later (after finals tonight)
The chinese guide at the springs explains the curse of each spring by saying "oh that spring of BLANK, very tragic legend of BLANK drowing there X years ago."
Execpt for the charater Mousse. His explanation was "oh that spring of duck, very TRAGIC STORY of duck drowing there X years ago."
When I saw that I stole it as it is not as pretentious as Tragic Legend. Of course the fact that it is an extreme bit of anime trivia also helped as did the fact that I kept wondering how a duck would drown on its own.
Over the years there have been additional meanings and reasons to keep it but that is how I first got it.

Cool. I am very manga ignorant. Thanks for the explanation!
