A jerk for a good reason.

I have a friend request from a user named balfrog and I don't know why because I don't know him that well and I'm not sure if I even want to be his friend but I'm also afraid I'll hurt his feelings by not accepting it so I'm just letting it sit there
the notification thing gets me excited each time I visit but then I remember it's that friend request and I really need to sort this out because I keep getting depressed
HELP
Captain Fabulous said:Two friends and I were playing Rock Band one day. I arrived at the house after the band was named (Teh Ballz, because my friends are brilliant) and the other two members were created (a pimp and a lumberjack), so I joined the band with my friends, and named my character Mr. Anderson and gave him a trenchcoat and glasses as soon as I could afford it.
However, I got bored of the Matrix reference and wanted to put on some more expensive clothing, so I decided to outfit Mr. Anderson with pink clothes. I gave him pink shades, pink elbow-length rubber gloves, pink fuzzy boots, pink leather pants (wtf?), a pink fauxhawk, pink heart earrings, a pink cape, no shirt and a giant penis tattoo stretching from his crotch to his chest.
Thus Captain Fabulous was born, and Mr. Anderson was quickly renamed (although it had to be CaptainFabulous because Rock Band can only handle 15 characters). Since then I have used Captain Fabulous (or CptFabulous) for nearly every nickname online. It's great because it's gender ambiguous and I can mess with people's homophobia and prejudices, and also because it's hardly ever taken.

Why have you chosen this name as your moniker? Exactly what makes you so fabulous that it is inherent in your identity?
Sincerely, anonymous
All true, and Captain Fabulous has carried on through each installment of Rock Band. His look has changed slightly, though.Lace said:Dear Anonymous,
My Lord General Fabulous is far too busy to repeat himself. Here is the story as heard from His divine mug as recorded in the testament of Cheese.
