"Is the "Spoon" thing a Tick reference?"
I had never thought of that. It is not my battle cry. I don't know if you have ever experienced this, but I panic half the time when I have to come up with user names. So this is what I came up with.
There is a story behind the name. I will summarize...When I was a little kid back before technology...like when I was 5...I dug a hole with a spoon for fun...I made the mistake of telling a buddy at College..from then on he called me Spoon.
Not the most flattering story. Maybe I should say it is a "Tick" reference.
