I got it from one of my all-time favorite punk bands (no longer around, unfortunately).

I was in the registration process for a car forum dedicated to Mitsubishi 3000gts and Dodge Stealths about 7 years ago. When it came to the "User Name" part of the form, I sat back and thought about it. I didn't want a screen name that was just my first name, nor did I want it to be related to the car. I knew from my track record that I likely wouldn't have the Stealth for too long.

I was listening to a CD called "Time Is The Distance" from The Deviates at the moment. I've been using that screen name ever since, or a variation on it (Deviate_3s, DeviateM3, DeviateZ06, etc) if "Deviate" is taken when I register.
