While it’s not certain that this person put this on their plate because of the racing simulator, I’m sure it’s been taken that way by others before I saw it, which makes it good enough a reference for me.

I found someone online using the name Rocket Punch who’s used this string of characters for his blog and on message boards, and I have an inquiry in to find out if this is the guy.
