I’ve always read this as Fretful Porcupine. Who knew?
Someone mentioned the source of my nickname in a Cafe Society thread a week ago. They didn’t mention the name, but I was still surprised to see it come up.
Oh, like MSTies can manage NOT to demonstrate geek cred…

If anyone wants the answer, I’m a reference to this.
There’s a new poster on the board called ReaperMort. Another Terry Pratchett reference.
Really? Mine’s a tough one? Kind of a cultish b-movie, but still…
Mine is also from the B-movie realm.

But he knows that the life he’s livin’s no good. He’ll get a new start, live the life he should.
It seem sthat noone has posted this one yet. Rilchiam is from Carroll’s The Hunting of the Snark.

Anyone know what mine refers to?

I had to mention myself. SOB
