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 used to wear a very impractical hat when working in a scene shop as part of my grad school assistantship. The hat had bear ears, and I was frequently covered in sawdust, so they called me "sawdust bear." I quit grad school and lost the hat, but kept the name.
