I’d change to something about being an electric outlet octopus, if my brain still retained the English. And if I wasn’t afraid that Mr. Sultana of Slash would agree. ---

I like it, **Ray**. Someone recently pointed out that my name was unspellable and I briefly considered changing it to **Missing Coworker** (since **Cooler of Death** was already taken). It would have been too much of a hassle though, what with the paperwork, safe deposit boxes, living will and so on. ---

Actuall, **Lord of the Rings** sounds like a cool user name. Of course, you might get in trouble with **Sauron**. ---
