So what was your second choice for a screenname?

I'm not sure I had a backup plan for Bossy Monkey, though at Celiac.com I'm also named after my cat, but there I'm The Fluffy Assassin, a handle I'm very fond of. I was undisclosedlocation for so long, and realized immediately that it had been a poor choice. Should have been disclosedlocation, of course.

And you?

Sadly, I wasn't quick enough to grab my name on gmail.

I've got a few other names on the internet, but most are apolitical and best distanced from this place. I relish political shit storms, high speed chases, and firefights, but IRL there are always innocent bystanders and shy, naive, mildly libertarian technogeeks I can't afford to frighten.

I learned to be circumspect from my mom... by bad example.
