Good question.
Onthepequod is a referrence to Herman Melville's Moby Dick. The ship was captianed by Ahab and sailed on by Ishmael (i.e. "Call me Ishmael"). Ultimately the ship sunk in the Indian Ocean and all perished except Ishmael. Therefore to be on the pequod would insinuate that you sank with the ship (unless of course you were Ishmael).
In my current job I have been given stock options in three different option grants. However, as a commodity goes toilet paper is more valuable and more useful than my stock options are (for the time being), since my options are nowhere near the money. In a bleak and disparaging moment I chose onthepequod (for a stock forum) as a reflection on the marketability of my options (i.e. sinking fast). Yeah, they sunk quickly and painfully.
As opposed to picking a different username, I have kept this one to avoid any future confusion.
