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.

From the song on Cream's Disreali Gears album (yeah, that dates me):

Pressed Rat and Warthog closed down their shop
They didn't want to, 'twas all they had got
Selling atonal apples and amplified heat
And Pressed Rat's collection of dog legs and feet

Sadly they left telling no one goodbye
Pressed Rat wore red jodhpurs and warthog his striped tie
Between them they carried a three-legged sack
Went straight 'round the corner and never came back.
