Whence "Jinx McHue" and "Shock and Blog?"

I hope the "Shock and Blog" title is a sufficiently obvious reference to "shock and awe."

As for my handle, it is the result of a number of things. "Jinx" is a nickname I earned among my friends when I was going to college about 10 years ago. The name itself actually originated with a Dungeons and Dragons character I played (back when I played the game) who was strangely as accident prone as I am. "McHue" was inspired by one of my friends who uses the handle "Rags McKay." Both "McHue" and "McKay" come from the first syllable (the sound, not the spelling) of our last names preceded by "Mc."

See? Already you're learning far more about me that you ever wanted to know. *very big grin*
