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.

Mlinksva lived in a house of molasses.
The walls kept oozing in and it was difficult to breathe.
One day, while shaving his beard,
Mlinksva cut open his jugular and bled to death.
People miss Mlinksva,
but most are glad to be rid of him.

(Apologies to "Molly" (If anyone knows who wrote the poem I've ripped off above I'd love to know (I'll reproduce the original text here someday when I organize my old tapes)))
