That story RULES! I find it kind of funny that when I first saw your name in RinkChat a little while ago, I thought of John Travolta, but figured that it must have been a coincidence, because you were Norwegian and your name sounded Norwegian. I actually thought for a little while that Travholt might be related to your real name, and in a long convoluted way, I see that I was right. :-)

I was thinking about continuing this post with the story of the origin of my nickname, but I could have SWORN that I posted it in the Forum somewhere before. I know I have told the story in RinkChat, both in part and in full, and a hint of the story behind my nickname appears in the Flame War archive (only a tiny hint). The line that would have made it more of a hint was omitted from the final archive. Anyway, I don't plan to post my nickname story because I think it has been posted before, but if I am wrong, feel free to EMAIL ME (rather than posting here and cluttering the Forum) or leave me a memo in RinkChat or something.
