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.

What I am:
gingerbeer is good for a lift
gingerbeer is out of the bottle there is no way known to man to get it back in
gingerbeer is not to be messed with
gingerbeer is even more exciting than the straws that come with it
gingerbeer is to be sold in the way of refreshment in the great exhibition at the crystal palace



What the name means:
"gingerbeer" is cockney rhyming slang for "queer." which I am.
