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.

Lobstah is how a true " Mainer" pronounces lobster. During my career in the hospitality biz, I would always get excited when there was a Lobster Bake planned, and would bore my colleagues with Homarus Americanus minutiae . At some point, someone hung the Lobstah Larry handle on me, and it kinda stuck.
