Geez, that month I spent with a breakaway sect of the Seventh Day Adventists in Washington Heights was really an adventure. It just wasn't for me, though. Know what I mean?
They were all like: "You must abstain from impure acts." And I was kind of skeptical initially. Then, they came back with: "Well, it's not like your whack game is getting any play in the first place. Just give it up already!" And I was all like: "Screw you buddy! I still have FreeRepublic."
Thanks for being there, guys!
I need to do more self-promotion!
Or ping people more often.
Just kidding.

Thank you. Your screen name has tormented me for months. Finally, the mystery is solved and I'll be able to sleep peacefully tonight. ;-)
You would think by now he'd pick something simple ;-)
Yes, but if he had, I wouldn't have spent all of the time that I have on fruitless Google searches. He knows how to make himself memorable.

"Still mystified" ping.
I'm not sure how edifying reading those posts will be, but they should clear things up somewhat.
Hopefully.
Maybe.

"Well, the derivation of this screen name is kind of esoteric, so I'm not surprised that it threw some people for a loop. If you've ever read the novel 'Everything Is Illuminating' you'd instantly recognize this handle as trading on one of that novel's most uttered lines. One that is repeated by its protagonist-seemingly-ad infinitum."
Ah, that explains it. I don't read fiction. ;')
Do not dub it "Everything is Illuminating":
Or, to be more accurate, many things that happened during that historical epoch.
I don't know if you could compare it to "Bel Canto," which was based upon a specific incident, but it does flesh out a lot of generic areas relating to contemporary Eastern European history. At least, that part of it which dovetailed with the Nazi occupation.
