Friday Fun! - Where did you get your Alias?

...trying to decide what I'd like to be called on this grand forum I'd been lurking at for weeks.I've been a compulsive reader since my poor sainted mother accidentally taught me to read at age 4. I'm one of those people who read cereal boxes, instruction manuals, randman's posts...anything.When I was in grade school, my parents realized the reason my teachers complained so much about me falling asleep in class (aside from boredom) was that I stayed awake until the wee hours reading. So they took my books and reading lamp. Then they caught me reading a smuggled book under the covers by flashlight. They took my flashlight.Finally, they caught me reading the dictionary by the streetlight that came in through my bedroom window. They surrendered. So...out my office window I saw, in big red letters, high in the sky...The Omni HotelClick.

I believe my avatar is actually a Spectral Tarsier (Tarsius tarsier) which has the greatest eye to body ratio of any mammal.They have many traits I find congenial: they are our cousins, the females vocalize their sexual receptivity, they are omnivores, and they tend to cause themselves considerable injury or even death when caged. TarsierWhen I began casting about for an avatar, Parasomnium suggested this one and even provided the image.
