====== Squonk ======


===== Recruitment =====

I did take the nom Squonk when I joined for a year in 1990. When I went to grad school in Baltimore a few years later, Hopkins' spring break nicely meshed with the [[misc:acpt1998|Stamford crossword tournament]] so I went to that. I had a great time and pretty much decided that I would go to the New York con later that year. However, I'll give credit to [[Tyger]] telling me on the train back to NYC that I really should join the NPL.

===== Nom =====

A squonk is a mythical bird. The word came up in a game of Balderdash and completely stumped
everyone. Since it's an unusual word, and sounds somewhat like my real first name, I chose it 
as my nom.
