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.

wife, two kids, love them. i work in restaurants, currently trying to get rich making pizzas. joined metafilter to ask a question about my garden and love the whole interface. i approve of anything that helps humanity to be better able to understand itself and the reality in which it resides.
