Here's a suggestion: If I ever needed to use a pseudonym, I would combine the names of fictional characters I like (for example, Ed Foutley, named after Ed from Cowboy Bebop and Carl Foutley from As Told By Ginger or Bill Campbell, named after Bill from Bill And Ted and Wayne Campbell from Wayne's World). Why don't you try doing that?
Groucho Nukem doesn't have a good ring to it. Plus, I've never used a pseudonym, and probably won't. It's either my real last name or "Luke Michigan" for now. I'm 90% sure I'll stick with my real name or my first and middle names, which sounds like "Lou Gehrig".

Generally, combining your middle name with the name of the cross street for your childhood home yields a pretty awesome pseudonym.
I dunno, Luke. I just know you as "Luke", you should just just use that. No last name, just straight up "Luke."

Mine is...Alan Antioch.

Yeah. It doesn't really work if you grew up in a town with only numbered streets. It can still generate some pretty good names, though...my wife's is "Erin Lane" and my college roommate is "Galarneaux Farimount".
"Erik Wellington" sounds like a Viking and the Duke of some English Province had a butt baby. I have to pass on that.
Luke Michigan is starting to grow on me, a tad little eensey weensey bit. I wouldn't brand it or anything, but it isn't super terrible. Doesn't matter that much anyway as I always close with "Thanks. My name is Luke, and I hope my set is as memorable for you as it was for me. Goodnight!".
...and then at some venues I STILL walk off stage, forgetting to introduce the next comic, and the emcee covers my ass (usually). Most of the times it is "Goodnight!"..*walks off stage, runs back on stage*, "Shiiiit. Next on stage is Kelly Caprice. Let's give her a warm welcome" *runs off stage*.
Mine would be Ralph Norton. Lately, though, I've sort of self-adopted the nickname Wreck It Ralph due to how clumsy and uncoordinated I am most of the time.
I'm not a glitch, I just have pixlexia.

So this vid with the kid videotaping himself being an asshole to a cop, who in turn was an asshole to him.
Thoughts? I cant get to youtube from here to link to the vid.
My friend is all up in arms about this kid's rights being violated and he thinks that the whitehouse is falling and blah blah blah. I think the whole altercation could have been avoided if the guy had just rolled his effing window down.
Mine is ... Thomas 132nd Street.
