The Origins of Ace

I notice that a popular comment so far has been the origins of the name Ace McGraw.

Well, in order to infiltrate the country of Canada I had to go under a pseudonym. Anyone who has ever bought anything vaguely American in their life is barred from entering the country on a work visa, so I had to change it, and Ace McGraw seemed the most obvious choice!

Unfortunately this is not the truth, and is also not much more interesting than the truth. This is going to sound really sad, but Ace was always my name on video game high score boards, and the McGraw bit just came naturally!
