About

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.

Musicals. What I like are musicals. My username is a reference to the line: "Does anyone still wear a hat" from the song The Ladies Who Lunch, from Stephen Sondheim's musical Company, because musicals, and also because I am the age of the Ladies Who Lunch.

Though I do wear a lot of hats, literally, not figuratively. Because very bad hair.

Better usernames I've come up with since:
- afterpants
- afterpants and showtunes
- obscure showtunes reference
- Captain Peter Peachfuzz
- a solution neatly divided into problems
- sweet potato sea cucumber
