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.

When Stephen King's book "Cujo" came out, it was a no-brainer for my friends to stick me with that as a nickname. Since there was no need to fight it, I took it as my own (with the e on the end and the capital J as my personal flourish).
