Re: Origin of/Reasoning Behind Your Username?

I was a huge fan of Greg Zwakman. My username used to be Greg Zwakman Fan. I then shortened it to Zwak.

GE gave me the avatar. I have no idea why I deserve it. :wink:

Re: Guilty Pleasures

I have an wifi clock radio that I listen every night as I fall asleep. I often listen to on-line comedy channels. My guilty pleasure is this...Larry the Cable Guy makes me laugh more than I would like to admit.

I hope Jup does not ban me for this.
