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.

The nick comes from the name of my site weblog.

The name of my site comes from a story i heard in college.

The story came from a friend, but where he first heard it remains a mystery.

And there you have it....
