Good question Mal. It's a joke relating to the phrase "couch potato". I believe the first place I used this name on the internet was on Wikipedia. (Could you guess by how often I tend to hyperlink to posts?)

In case you're curious, here's some of my most significant Wikipedia activity. I added quite a bit to the articles regarding holonomic systems:
- Nonholonomic system
- Holonomic constraints
- Pfaffian constraint

I created at least these two articles:
- LCE
- Connor Hotel

And discovered a notable case of "citogenesis". (Look/search most of the way down the page for "Zimbabwe".)

Ok, now I'm curious the origin of others' unusual/random names on here (sorry kevinpackard, Packard Don, BlakesPackards, et al.).
