I SO love your name.
I love croutons, and the "Captain" title just really sets it off...
Since you mentioned it, Captain Crouton is my super hero alter-ego. Lest you think I'm nuts... oh never mind, I'm in a muppet forum... I do a little skit featuring myself as CaptCrouton for the kids I work with. I have a complete Captain Crouton outfit with helmet, cape, and a gold crouton stitched on my chest. Or rather, it's sewn on the outfit. Sewing it directly to my chest proved to be too painful.
CaptCrouton was born out of insane youth trip our church went on when I was a teenager. We tied towels around our necks and jumped down stairwells. Kind of embarrassing to think about now. I had a box of cheddar croutons I was eating as a travel snack, and one thing led to another.
When I was older, a church asked me to do a kids program for their kids. Power Rangers were popular then, and I thought it'd be a real comical method to teach some things, without being dry and religious sounding. Certainly Sesame Street was very influential in my teaching style.
I debated whether to use CaptCrouton or to pick a muppet name to join this forum. Then I figured, CaptCrouton sounded muppety enough. And see, now it's become a conversation piece.
