Why Johnny RIOT?

The answer to That question is easy.

1) My last name ( Schaffner ) gets misspelled a lot.

2) To compound the issue, my first name is William. So smash that together, and you get William Schaffner. There is another famous person with a very similar last name, who was the captain of a starship.
