Story behind the user names

[SamJack]

Many of us here seems to have a creative username around here.

What's the story behind them?

Mine is rather mundane.

SamJack: Just picked two first names for my initial SJ

Sam

[Adde]

adde1971 = Andreas, born 1971

[SamJack]

Are you also Legato?

Sam

[Adde]

Are you also Legato?

Nope, I'm just me. How come you thought I was Legato? I have never even heard of that user.

[Stagemusic]

Stagemusic was given to me by a friend on the old "Playsite" game site. It refers to my past as a performer.

[Mangatang]

My last name is Mangham. In college (usually when drunk), I used to do an impression of an orangutan walking around with his arms up in the air. Hence the nickname, Mangatang.

Still to this day, whenever I go out with old friends, they always say, "Come on. Do the Mangatang!"

[Kurn, son of Mogh]

I've been a Star Trek fan since the 60's.

For the uninitiated, Kurn is Worf's brother (STNG). Klingons give their names as X, son of Y.

The Klingon warrior culture reminds me of medieval Japanese Samurai culture, which has always fascinated me.

[Gamblor]

The Simpsons Episode 1F08

Springfield decides to Legalize gambling, so Mr. Burns opens a casino with "sex appeal, and a catchy name". Emblazoned on the front is a semi-nude picture of the 85 year old Burns as a merman with the neon lights reading "Mr. Burns Casino".

Marge begins to frequent the slot machines and when she forgets to make her daughter's costume for the school play, Lisa is left heartbroken.

She sobs to Homer, who has made her costume (the State of Florida) out of two old mattresses duct-taped together with an orange, and "Floreda" scrawled on the front. She cries: "I'm not a state, I'm a monster!"

To which Homer replies, in a saddened but determined voice: "No, Lisa, the only monster here is the gambling monster that has enslaved your mother... I call him Gamblor, and it's time to snatch your mother from his neon claws!"

[Wee Stinker]

"Wee Stinker" is the name of an extremely cryptic crossword published in the Glasgow (Scotland) Herald every Monday. It usually requires about 3 hours of time, various dictionaries and every internet resource available to complete.

I've won it a few times and have several, rare "I cracked the Wee Stinker" tee shirts as prizes. Given their slogan it would be appropriate to hand these out to players who beat me at poker. Mind you, I only have 6 tee-shirts so the handing out process would only last a few minutes....
