About

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.

I enjoy the arbirtary but deliberate meaningless of "bingo" as a name, as in "Was a farmer had a dog, bingo was his name, oh," in which a) bingo is a ridiculous name for anyone, even a dog, and b) the name itself, meaningless to begin with, is gradually obliterated as the game continues by replacing each letter with a clap or a pause or some other non-linguistic element.
