What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

"But what's the point in breathing if someone already tells you the difference between an apple and a bicycle? If I ride an apple and bite a bicycle, then I'll know the difference."

My given name is also the title of a classic song, though I wasn't named after it. My nickname also has nothing to do with music. Both inspire random strangers to sing to me, which used to annoy me, but now I think is pretty cool.
