evilmousse joketsuzoku

evilmousse joketsuzoku

i chose the name for an irc nick when i was 15, 11 years ago. mousse is a character in an anime, ranma 1/2. well known now, and rumiko takahashi (the author)'s newer work, inu yasha, is on cartoon network these days. i think very poorly of viz, the american company that's bought the liscense to her work and does the translating and voiceovers, i think they spoil her work a lot, but that's a different rant. in a sentance: mousse is a master of hidden weapons, keeps an infinite supply in his sleeves, is blind without his glasses, turns into a duck when doused with cold water, and is hopelessly in love with another character, shampoo, who (comedically 1-dimensionally) will never return his love. i liked shampoo, that's why i chose it. it's a little too personal to go into the details of my age-old teen dreams, but i think i know why girls like tarzan. primal, and awesome in their element but not yours. joketsuzoku's the tribe's name. right away, my name got changed to evilmousse. the chat chan i was in already had someone by the nick. i would get opped, and they'd deop me and say "no, that's not realmousse, that's evilmousse". all this is sooo long ago tho, when i was a junior in highschool who had just moved from longtime home in philly to cultural-barren-wasteland suburban minnesota

i've tried to change it once or twice, but it's been my online nick so long it's been hard to shake. it's nice and unique, so i never have problems registering it anywhere.

nicks are phun, i wonder if i'll ever outgrow using one...
i don't chat or watch anime all that much anymore tho

actually, writing this made me remember some things, i wonder if "hammerspace" has entered the vocabulary of cartoon network fans yet. it was one of the more fun words i remember, describing an infinite storeage dimension, (mousse had access to hammerspace through his sleeves) named to explain anime and old loony toons characters ability to pull huge mallets out of nowhere and whack someone on the head.
