About

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.

My nickname is the name of Death's chauffeur in Jean Cocteau's Orphée, played by François Périer. Heurtebise is the first movie character I remember actually wanting to be, when I saw the movie at 16 -- you'd get to wear awesome suits, look mysterious, and follow Maria Casares around.
