So why Ospurt?

So if my online nick has been Opus for a long time, why do I use Ospurt?

Well first off, being content with my internet existence, I neglected to log on to every free email/blog site de jour and gobble up the name during the dot.com boom.  Heck, I'm lucky my name is obscure enough that I was able to get my first initinal last name at Hotmail... (but not Yahoo, Gmail, etc...)

So I resorted to my dark username: Ospurt.  Which was courtsey of a community of VMS FORUM / mIRC addicts, malcontents, MUD Players, and assorted characters.  I was the non-drinking member of this rag-tag band.  At a particular Friday the 13th Party they decided to spike my normal IBC RootBeers with Everclear and proceeded to get me hammered.  At some point during the party I blew chunks and the name Ospurt was born.
