For the longest time, pre-Internet, I was TROG. My initials are TOG, so I put an R in there and that's what I got. I became a very serious Qabalist, pre-Madonna, and that went into it as I joined AOL and became TROG218 or, actually TROG=218 Teth-Resh-Vau-Gimel. Anyway. After years of that scene I wanted to go in a new direction and get into my retro roots online. I wanted a new handle and when I started chatting on Luxuria Music, I recalled being in Minneapolis and seeing a huge old ride with the license plate "SWANK" and had always wanted that for my 1966 Chyrsler 300 convertible, but it was taken. ANYWAY. I put in Swanky as my handle and soon I was better know as Swanky than Tim. Then came the Swank Pad site and broadcast and the line of men's clothing, the Swanky styled Vespas and all the rest. Then came the day I was driving 75 in a 50 and the trooper pulled me over and asked "Are you Swanky?"...
