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.

Now I would like to address this Arts Funding issue. Now this all reminds me of a humorous story of a travelling salesman.
Lets say that the taxpayer is a farmer, and the government is a salesman.

Well, the farmer says "You can spend the night in my barn, but do me a favor and dont stick your willy into any of the three holes in the wall." (Well in this case, the salesmans willy represents the taxpayers money, you understand.) Well, the government, like the salesman, cant help himself. Sticks his willy in the first hole, it feels good. Sticks his willy in the second hole, it feels even better. Sticks his willy in the third hole and it hurts like Hell and it wont let go!

Well in the morning the farmer comes out and he explains: "Behind the first hole was my wife, behind the second hole was my daughter, and behind the third hole was a milking machine that dont let go till it gets 50 GALLONS! HAHAHAHA!"

Gentlemen, I propose that this Arts Funding is like a milking machine, and unless we shut it down it's gonna rip our dicks right off!
