MetaFilter

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'm not really a chimpanzee, but we do have common ancestry. If you have favorited one of my posts or comments, I have almost certainly clicked on your profile to read about you, see where you're from, and maybe even visit your website if you have one. Thanks for helping make Metafilter the great place it is.
