Jizzo T. Clown is a nickname given to me from back in the day because when we would get stoned I would be the one making people laugh, and "Clown" wasn't satisfying enough for my friends at the time.
Then in China I took on the persona of JTC when I was teaching kids (well, to a small extent) and went as a clown for the past two Halloweens (don't plan to again).
So believe it or not, no masturbation or sex was involved in creating my online moniker. In fact I was trying to find a way to change it, but too late for that so I just go with it.
Why did you choose the name you use? Many just don't make sense to me. |

Shortly after I'd moved here and after I met my future wife, I was chatting on MSN to a skinhead from my home province. He jokingly called me a race traitor and said I wouldn't go to Valhalla.
We were members on another message board where there's a daily contest for most popular poster. If you win, you get to give a tagline to another person, and it can't be removed except by winning the competition another day. Anyway, this guy won it one day and he gave me the tag "RACE TRAITOR." I liked it better without the space and that's how I used it when I signed up on other boards. I also chose to keep it in capital letters because it gives off the impression of words scrawled on a brick and thrown through a window, or spray painted on a front door.
It's funny to me because the idea of betraying one's race is totally ridiculous, and the only people it upsets are uptight English teachers on this board and white supremacists who believe in racial segregation. |

Nothing special really. M is for the first letter of my name AND for the word and, R for the first letter of my fiancee's name and L for our last name= MANDRL. |

People with names like "Mom2Eight" and "MeAndMyHubby" or "Johnny'sGirl" make me crazy.
Atavistic is a good old English word and reminds me of the fabulous Stuart Davis song, "Atavistic Viking." |

"Peter Dragon" is the name of Jay Mohr's character from the short lived TV comedy "Action", which was an excellent show. I started using it as a handle in 1999, when I briefly worked as a telefundraiser for the Republican party. Back then, telefundraising was much less regulated, and we could use whatever name we wanted on any call. So my calls opened up with "Hello, I'm Peter Dragon, and I'm calling on behalf of the Republican NAAAA-tional comittee. We're just calling to say thanks for all your past support...." |

I'm drawn to spiral shapes..Its a fundamental pattern in nature...I also feel ancient sometimes..been through a lot over time like a fossilized nautilus. And I have travelled far and wide like the good ship nautilus, of 2000 leagues under the sea. |
