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.

"Your tongue is strangely changed; but the name sounds not unfitting so. Carson! No report that I have heard does justice to the truth."

* breathe, got a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve. So shave your face with some mace in the dark. Saving all your food stamps and burning down the trailer park. Yo, cut it! Soy un perdedor. I do this in real life, too. Some little sentence fragment will send me off into paroxysms of song, usually some really awesome late-80's, early-90's radio jam. It's Loser a lot too, though, because people find that rap impressive and it has a natural segue into Eminem's My Name Is... in Spanish! ¡Hola mi nombre es ¿quién?! ¡Mi nombre es ¿lo que?!
