Whence "Jinxmchue"
My username (which I have used elsewhere in various forms: "Jinx McHue," "Jinx72," etc.) is a combination of two things:
- "Jinx" is the name of an old Advanced Dungeons and Dragons character of mine who was a hornhead saurial "wild mage" (user of "wild magic" from the AD&D Tome of Magic). Hornheads are normally mute and 10 feet tall, but the dungeon master didn't like either idea, so he had Jinx shortened by a curse and given an amulet that allowed him to speak. As a wild mage, Jinx was prone to "wild surges," or strange, random and unexpected magical effects. Jinx's most prized possession was a wand of wonder, which he as a wild mage could occasionally control (via a random die roll) in order to power any of the spells he knew (i.e. he did not need to have them memorized). Unfortunately, both Jinx's wild surges and the use of the wand of wonder seemed to lead to very unfortunate circumstances at the most inopportune times. For example, when attacked by some fish origcreatures while in a small boat, Jinx tried to cast a lightning bolt into the water. Instead of a lightning bolt, a large volume of water directly next to the boat simply vanished. (Thankfully, everyone survived the ensuing crash of water and boat filling up the space.) In another incident, Jinx tried to charm an injured enemy... from a safe distance. The precaution turned out to be very prescient as the enemy became ground zero for a fireball. (These series of in-game misfortunes oddly and appropriately reflected my real life, as I am very accident prone.)
- "McHue" is a concept borrowed from a friend. In creating part a screen name, he used the first syllable of his last name preceded by "Mc." I have done the same.
- My real first name, if you must know, is Jason. They Might Be Giants killed me off along with "countless screaming Argonauts."
Shameless plug for my blog

Deleting Discussions
Hi JinxMcHue, RE: the LGF article, I asked you to discuss your proposal deletion with me and wait for other editors to weigh in before you deleted it again, then you deleted it for a third time, and went back and actually altered our discussion to delete part of my original response to you!
JinxMcHue, Misplaced Pages is not a personal blog where you can just delete responses you don't like and I'm starting to get a little concerned here that you might not understand certain, very basic, Misplaced Pages Policies. Do you need me to send send you some links or point out where they are?
