There is no need to excuse yourself for curiosity. Especially at your age, surely you are not a day over 21? Such queries are natural for one such as yourself, who is still learning about the world, much like me. :)
The 'Captain' aspect of CapnRedChops, aka Captain Red Chops, comes from my love of a computer game called 'Sid Meier's Pirates!' and my signing up on a related message board, which was the first board I signed up to when I belated go access to the interwebs. I've kept this name (with different passwords) as my internet alias ever since.
More specifically, while I have dark brown hair on my head, my beard shows a flaming copper colour, even when half grown, so much so that I am constantly accused of dying my hair or beard, which is untrue. I have been known to grow exceptionally large muttonchops (I am blessed with hirsuteness), hence the nomenclature you have enquired about.
Where ever I go, I like to encourage the old world concept of chivalry, and this does not exclude the odd cheeky response, meant in good humour, and includes turning on the unchivalrous and rude with a riposte that hopefully that casual observer will find witty. It disappoints me to find that so many use the anonymity of the interwebs to say things they would never have the courage to back up in real life, instead of using that same anonymity to reinvent themselves in the way that they would truly like to be.
And you? I suspect you are from Oregon, USA, but indeed doubt that you are an ogre, despite your protruding tongue.
