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.

In my earliest Internet days I had to log on to my new account and take a screen name. Variations of Roy werent' available but the Avalanche had won an important game on their way to winning their first Stanley Cup. The headline read Magic Roy, which if you are in Denver you'd know that is prounounced Magic Wah. A few spelling changes later and voila' - majikwah.
