It originally came from "wake up Lyndon" I tweaked it a little for some variety. But I use the phrase pretty often. As user names, screen names, whatever. The term comes from one of my favorite movies; "Dear Wendy". Lyndon, is the name that Huey (a handicapped teenager) calls his gun. Because the theme of the movie is "pacifists with guns" of course.
Here's the trailer.
The phrase "wake up Lyndon." is said towards the end of the movie, by Huey and it introduces one of the most emotional scenes in the movie. That, and the fact that the phrase is somehow aesthetically pleasing to me, makes me want to use it very often. It is also pretty unique which means I don't have to go fumbling around looking for a user name that is not taken already :)
