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.

Apparently people liked it when I said

"If you are not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold." (link)

So obviously I've sold out, and now you can own the home-version. http://www.cafepress.com/YoureTheProduct

To paraphrase Gene Spafford,
"(Metafilter) is like a herd of performing elephants with
diarrhea - massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring,
entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of
excrement when you least expect it."


I used to read comics as a kid. Blue Beetle was always the hoopiest frood around. I sometimes wish I'd used my real name, but I've had this account on MeFi since 2002, and don't feel like changing it.
