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.

Where'd I get my nickname? I was really into Warren Zevon back around 1991, when his album of the same name came out. I started using it on the local dialup BBSs, and the rest is history.
