ET-

in english, my name is dusty and i sometimes call mice elf "the dust".
that handle was already taken back in '96 when i registered for a
yahoo account so i went for the spanish version because i speak
a little spanish and go to mexico and guatemala every year
when the snow flies.

i get the same question in guatemala about my handle because
"polvo" is a slang term for a good romp in the sack. consequently,
my handle is viewed with a higher macho value in latin america. <g>

also, there is the spanish phrase "polvo blanco" but we won't
go there. a friend in guat once asked me, why don't you just
call yourself "el nariz"?

my favorite twist on my moniker is "el polvo de estrella" because
it reflects my cosmic view of my identity.

thanks for asking. i'll bet you're sorry you did. <g>
