American If you are wondering about the pen name and the avatar...I grew up wanting to be a Jedi named Skywalker who is strong with this mystical Force. I don't think that dream has ever quite left me to be honest. In later years Cool Hand Luke became my favorite movie for some reason. And so in the movie when Lucas Jackson (Paul Newman) earns his name from Dragline (George Kennedy) they find themselves at a poker table where Luke has just bluffed to win the pot. Dragline comments about how Luke managed to win with absolutely nothing (a King, 10, 9, 4 and 3) and Luke smiles to himself and says "...yeah, well...sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand." The image of Luke Skywalker staring at his handless arm popped into my head and thus...Cool Handless Luke was born."
