Although I do work with computers (and in silican valley) Tradesilicon actually has nothing to do with silicon chips or silicon valley, or trade. It’s a character in a Novel I will write (as soon as I learn to write, and find that motivation you need deep inside).

BTW, I believe Mullinator is one of the unsung heroes of the WWF, no?

Tradesilicon, you have nailed me. My username is indeed the masked, overweight, hairy wrestler named El Mullinator who is brought out once every 3 weeks to give an easy win to one of the major stars. My signature move involves getting racked on the announcers table and then doing a pantomimish prancing dance to the tune of “La Cucaracha.”

By day, my username is a mild mannered newspaper reporter.

You can’t be thinking of Ronald Reagan, since his term for the Soviet Union was “Evil Empire.” You must mean the rumored reaction of Jimmy Carter to the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, in which he called them “Great Big Poopyheads.” (You’ll have to get **TubaDiva** to make the change for you.)
