I had a wrestling radio talk show in college and me and my co-hort, the new GAF member MacstarX created the names as monikers for luchadore characters. Total wrestle-nerds. They more or less stuck and I use it for everything.

We initially added the X years ago because you'd be surprised what people have as their usernames....

fake edit: I know it's actually bastardized Spanish.

The book "The Painted Bird" which I am sure some of GAF has read made an impression upon me... (particularly Lekh painting trapped birds and reuniting them with their own kind, only to be pecked to death) Probably would change this username if I could, but who really cares.

Crow Phoenix came about around the time MST3K was ending.

Crow, of course, comes from Crow T. Robot. While Phoenix comes from my desire to see the show feature a rebirth. The fact that the show was reborn in Cinema Titanic, Film Crew, and Riff Trax is an awesome bonus.

During WWII, General George S. Patton's 3rd Army was code named "Lucky", and his "forward" headquarters (near the battlelines, as opposed to being in the rear) was thus known as Lucky Forward.

I'm not very good at coming up with names, and my previous one was too popular at that point and carried too much baggage, so I just registered with part of the name of my website.
