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 was the half-thought-through rambling of a disorganized mind on the day I decided I absolutely needed to register because there was a FPP about my beloved MGB and I needed to participate. Other than that, it means nothing.

I'm a husband, dad, lawyer, DJ, ineffective classic car restorer, and glacially slow bathroom renovator. I am a proud social democrat in a country that doesn't really "do" social democrats, but I recently decided to move away from active involvement in American politics because it makes me nauseous. I make Indian food way, way better than a Jewish kid from NYC has any right to do.
