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.

I first ran across the quote in "Ulysses", (Cheese digests all but itself. Mity cheese.) but it turns out it's much older, dating back to Elizabethan days. (Cheese, it is a peevish elf, it digests all things but itself.)

Joyce's good friend Beckett also had a thing for Gorgonzola. Wonderful stuff.
