In 2006 I was hanging out on a gamer's forum, that had "trade".

I wanted got, but that was taken, so I made Ghot with a silent H.

I'm an old man, who used to be a biologist. Senecio vulgaris is a weed, which in some parts of the world is called by the common name of "Old Man in the Spring", because of its white fluffy fruits, which resemble the white hair and beard of an old man.
On days when I am feeling important, I like to think of myself as Dendrosenecio. :zany:
