I wasn't always SmartAZ, I started out as Wallstar. I pulled that out of the air. It seemed like a word I had seen every day. Then it occurred to me that I couldn't remember where I had seen it, so I started watching for it. I finally found it at work. The urinal in the men's room had a green screen with the brand name Allstar in white letters. From a certain angle the reflection of the overhead light made a 'W' in front of it, turning it into WAllstar. I had named myself after a urinal screen!

Back in the BBS days, SmartAZ was the name of a board run by the Arizona chapter of Mensa. I never liked the board, but I admired the name so I swiped it. BTW if you google "Wallstar" now you only get water heater dealers.
