I’d just like to thank you all for the warm welcome, and AnnaStrophic for the poem link. The main reason I chose my handle was: 1. It is the scariest creature I can think of, therefore being completely incongruous with my disposition, and 2. I thought it sounded cool.:-) It is also the only known, (at least to me) reason for a peotomy… and for those who haven’t already guessed it, that’s the surgical removal of ones, uhh, “Pleasure” to quote the author of the Candiru poem. Interesting fact: one of the most prolific contributors to the OED performed an AUTOpeotomy. He was also quite mad to boot! Looking forward to more loquacious discussions.
