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 picked up my nick via a combination of username overlap, bemused indignation at somebody ruining a childhood favorite, and a freudian slip in my number memory. If you found a reference to this nic somewhere else, it's probably mine.

Now that I'm out of college and have a Grown Up Job, I've kind of dialed back my AskMe usage, and am pretty much just strafing the blue periodically. I'm glad to see you all managed to survive without me so far. ;)
