you wanna know how I got the nickname 'Kurnul.'  Well, disappointingly, the story is quite unsignificant and quite unimportant, but i could always make up something thrilling.  As you see, it was over a boring summer and me and my friend were typing each other e-mails (it wasn't Shawn just to let you know).  Well, we started sending pointless crazy stories written in 'HICKISH' or 'INBREDDICS' (I say this without worry of a hick coming after me cause i know hicks are illiterate and do not know how to turn on a computer) the following section is the type of sentence you would find in these type of messages:  </B></div> <div> <B>hay-  </B></div> <div> <B>     how yer dewin'?  2daye eye fownd A fishen hook and eet got stuk in meye nOs.  Eye puhld oneet and uh boogur caimm owt and my dogg 8

for long, I decided to use that as most of my sign-in names and screen names.  That's it.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>
