Damn! Good question....

In the late 1980's, I associated myself with a 300bps multi-line chat BBS called Saimin along with a bunch of other local high school and college students. I was known as Richie Rich because at the time I had one of the largest collections of his books on planet Earth. My good buddy Teflon Bark (don't ask!) also hung out on the chat board. When something funny was said on-line, he'd remark "groink". That was like a trademark of his. I think he stole it from a punk rock fanzine with the same name. He was into that sort of thing! :metaldevil:

Well, a few years ago, I ran into my old girlfriend from the Saimin days. For some dumb reason, she kept thinking I was the one that used the word "groink". No-no-no-no, it was Teflon Bark -- or maybe you were %$#@!*& with him, too!!!!! Two-timer!!! :beatyou: From thereon, that word stuck in my head.

So later on, I was trying to find a new identity for myself on the Internet. And, I was looking for a one or two sylable word that sounded weird, but would still stick in peoples' heads. "google" for example, works because it really isn't a word, but it's simple and easy to remember. Even though at the time people kept calling me "The Mac Geek", I didn't want my e-mail address to be "macgeek at macgeek.org". So instead, I used the word "groink" as my e-mail name. And people liked it, so I started using it as a username for other things. It's a good word because you don't associate anything specific to it like computers, music, etc. Even today, my Hawaii State car license plate says "GROINK".

My nick came from............
Shita ga motsureru
ã‚ª‚à‚‚ê‚é
When we moved to the states {I was around 4} my brother thought it would be funny to tell our new neighbor that I was a mute. She must have been really naive, although Im sure it didnt help that I was really shy and refused to speak to adults. Anyway to make a long story short she almost had a heart attack when I walked by her yard one day singing some childrens song at the top of my lungs. It was like I had just woke up from a coma or something! She ran over to my house and pulled my mother outside ........."He's singing he's singing!!!!" and mom was like "Yes, he like that song very much.....has a pretty voice dont you think???" :hehe:
Needless to say when my father arrived from work my brother got punished for lying. :beaten:

It was originally due in October last year on region 1 DVD from ADVFilms and then they were forced to hold it back from their release schedule. No firm date is set for it's release yet.
Milk Chan is available on DVD in Japanese courtesy of Pioneer but does not have subtitles.

I got the idea for my nick from one of my close friends. Her mother is schizophrenic and not only does she have audio hallucinations but she also suffers from visual hallucinations (which is really rare). She not only dreams of ghosts but sees ghosts coming out of walls. I was thinking back about that when I came up with my nick GhstDreamer.

whoa thats scary.. :google: :( how she doing now?

just so happens that i have a friend like that, when i chill with him he'd tell me how he sees demons with red eyes looking at him when im looking at a person normally.. (my goosebumps stood up) he gives me the creeps sometimes specially when we chill at night, he'd like cover his face and hide when im trying to comfort him.. poor guy.. but im not just gonna leave my friend there alone, i just try to be there, i mean keep him on track cuz this dood is talented, hes a good graphic designer but he wants to quit cuz of his disorder.. dont u hate seeing a person quit when he went that far?? i think hes ok every now and then as long as he takes his medications :(
