Because I toured with Phish throughout the 90's. Plus I tour with them to this day (summer can't come soon enough!) Played a lot of magic between gigs and friends always called me "The Sloth". Namely because Phish sings a song that goes
They call me The Sloth (Way Down in the Ghetto)
Italian Spaghetti (Singing Falsetto)
Sleeping All Day (Rip Van Winklin')
Spend My Nights in Bars (Glasses Tinklin')
I'm so Bad (He's so Nasty)
Aint got no Friends (Real Outcasty)
Stay outta my Way (You'll end up a Cripple)
I'll Take This Piece of Paper (and Slice Your Nipple)
Always loved that song and became quite good at calling it in the setlists. Unfortunately it's a rarity these days, also I'd play on the "paper nipple slicer" line and slice nips with my magic cards.
"If fetch lands are reprinted I really believe they will be in allied colors (aka Onslaught fetches). If the fetch lands are reprinted you better believe that we'll all be fetching up basics. This would lead me to believe that the set after THS may have a reprint as the temples can't be fetched but it's pure speculation." - posted 03/22/2014 proved correct during Khans spoiler season.
"The set releases for fall 2015 (Blood, Sweat and Tears) and fall 2016 (Lock, Stock and Barrel). One or both of those 2 blocks (I'm betting) are going to contain either Fetch reprints or (more likely) Filter reprints. Filter lands still need a reprint. They are getting pretty high up there and it's been longer than ZEN so it makes a little more sense that Filter lands would see print earlier that fetches." - posted 03/22/2014 proved incorrect about filters coming earlier than fetches, still pending on filters in Origins block.

Originally, I chose my screen name because I used to play Food Chain Goblins in Type 1 ever since I saw someone do Black Lotus, Mox Ruby, Goblin Lackey, and Goblin Warchief, dropping Siege-Gang Commander after combat damage. I thought it was a more brutal and aggressive way to play Type 1 than the Oath or Storm that I was SO accustomed to. I played the deck at many FNM events, usually doing very well because the FNM that I went to had only 2-3 decks out of 12 that were competitive.
I had the picture of something from UB because it is my favorite color combination of all time. Then a few years ago, I realized that having a picture of a UB card doesn't really match my screen name, so I changed it to the actual card, Goblin Piledriver, one of the most awesome Goblins of all time. The funny thing is that despite loving Goblins so much more than other tribes, I learned to love Merfolk, Faeries, AND Elves all more than Goblins after Lorwyn was in Standard.

I used to use the art from Stroke of Genius, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for.
I then realized that I had always loved Drew Tucker's art for Hurr Jackal, and that due to his style with watercolours, it might mesh well with another card of his. So I ended up melding it with Arnjlot's Ascent.
Since then, I've been been the flying Hurr Jackal.
Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero
Quote from Stardust »
Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

I used to play in Gavin Verhey's overextended tournaments. After killing with affinity for a while, I built a monored prison deck with 4x chalice of the void as one of the primary lock pieces. I played against a guy on reanimator with life/death and goryo's vengeance. I locked him out of win conditions with chalice on 2 in both games. The second game was especially amusing because he boarded in leyline of the void (or some other permanent graveyard hate) to deal with my 3x hammer of bogardan, which he thought were my only win condition from the first game. He told me to concede because I couldn't win and then told me I was lying about having orochi hatchery in my list. He kept talking trash about me long after the match was over (how my deck was trash (it was haha) and how his was so much better (it was not)). That's when I made the graphic. My continued use of chalice out of the sb of monoblue 12 post in modern (mostly against storm and affinity though I had an amusing match where I set it to 5 against a dramatic entrance deck) and the sb of affinity in modern and legacy led me to make it my profile pic.

I will always firmly stand by the belief that Magic is a game first and a collectable second.
Awesome video game character, basically.
