    I’m half Korean, 6’ 230lb. My martial arts instructor said to me, “You’re the biggest fucking Korean I’ve ever seen.” So Giant Korean just kind of stuck.

    I like frogs.

    I also like to change usernames on a semi-regular basis, so it was time for a change, and this is the first time in a really long time that I’ve been able to have a four-letter noun as a username. So I shall celebrate the joy of being simply “frog”.

    It’s a line from a Pink Floyd song. I like the fact that when people see my name, if they know the song, they probably hear it in their heads. This is especially poignant since I once had a love like no other- it was our song. He died, but he would have loved my username. He would have loved Lemmy, too.

    One time I walking past a bar with some buddies in high school and a very drunk man was kicked out right in front of us. He screams and hollers at the bouncer and throws a big tantrum about it for a bit then out of NOWHERE he pulls out several folded up strips of bacon out of his front pocket, takes a bite and this seems to calm him down.

    We’re all flabbergasted by what we’ve just witnessed and we’re all very obviously staring right at him when he notices us. He slurs, “Sorry you had to see that, little dudes” and offers us some of his pocket pork as an apology, which we politely refused. He shrugs and goes on his merry way.

    This was right around the time reddit was taking off and I made my account a few days later and it was the first thing that came to mind. Thus, BaconInMyPants was born.

    I had an old internet friend on Tumblr when I was 13-14 or so who had the username “coolpng”. One day they just deleted all of their accounts with no warning, no trace, no nothing – just vanished, so I made the username “cooljpeg” in honor of them and in hopes that maybe they’ll run into my e-presence one day. It’s also just a simple 'n funny username, and I love jpegs so :+D

    I’ve been a Tolkien fan for sixty or so years.

    Baggins wasn’t available on Reddit but it was here.

    I also use it in email addresses.

    In Anarchism one of our most influential books is The Conquest of Bread by Pyotr Kropotkin, also known as the Bread book. I needed to burn my old social handles and at the time the anarchist meme sub reddits would call our dank memes yeasty memes (since bread) and so I chose the name AnarchoYeasty

      I love winter, I can’t wait for summer to be over. That stillness is what I look forward to each year! And sometimes I like to watch videos like this at night to relax.
