    Hello darkness, my old friend
    When I was a teenager, I was signing up for an online game and had to choose a name. Since I enjoyed writing and music, I picked Minstrel, since I liked the cheerful, wandering musician/poet imagery. I had a lot of fun in that game and liked the overall image of my character in that game, so began signing up for other things online with that moniker. Eventually, I began to sign up for anything informal online as "Minstrel," which eventually extended to FanHome where I first fell in with this "community." As the group moved to BasketballBoards.net and then SportsTwo, I kept the same name for recognizability.

    Well, that's my story.

    Except instead of a spider he was bitten by a radioactive graphic designer.

    'Cause his game threads are the bomb!

    That's odd, I don't really think of myself as black metal.

    Makes sense with the avatars I've seen you use the last couple of years.

    Straddling the line in the Marvel/DC battle? Among comic fans, isn't that like being both a Blazers and Lakers fan?

    If I were to create a moniker the same way as you, I would go with: Joker Hulk. Or something like that.
