My girlfriend used to introduce me as her significant otter (being a pun on significant other) and the nickname stuck.

I think I described this in the "Introduce Yourself" thread, but being active on so many other forums makes it hard to remember. So, just in case, here it is:
I'm predominantly left handed, hence the "Lefty" part of my user name. I write, eat and shoot left handed. Pretty much everything else is right handed, like swinging a golf club or throwing a football.
I enjoy writing short fiction, and for any geocacher that has seen any of my logs, you'll know that writing is a thing I like to do (paraphrasing lyrics from a Tom T. Hall song here...bonus points if ya get it).
The Lefty part most definitely does NOT describe my, umm, political leanings. I'll leave it at that so as not to violate any forum rules.

Mine is self explainatory. 
Insane people don't know they're insane; that's why I constantly question my sanity.

Admitting it is the first step toward recovery.

I've had the nickname for almost my entire life. The bald is because I've been bald since I was 20. The eagle seemed natural, because I've been patriotic all my life. I love America passionately.

Well Maximus came kinda from the movie Gladiator cuz back at that time I wore a trimmed beard and my hair was like that....no I dont look like Russel Crowe. I only WISH...and wish i had his contract. Someone called me Maximus once cuz of that making fun of me. Now years later...my hair is more gray.....and receding. So I shaved that off.
