Well..there was this hamster. And the hamster belonged to my then friend's younger sister, who was your typical teen rebel: green hair, stupid friends.
I was a goody twoshoes in high school and thought she was a loser freak.
My friend said, "my sister got a hamster," and I said, "what would a freak like your sister name a hamster, Zorbo?"
I just threw the name off the top of my head but I think I had read it somewhere recently at the time.
Anyways, I don't like hamsters. They are furballs of Satan.
My friend had this really dirty house, the kind where you don't want to sit down for fear of catching a disease.
The hamster's real name was Persephone, but I always called it Zorbo.
Zorbo lived in the bathroom at my friends house, right across from the toilet.
You'd be sitting there doing your business and Zorbo would stare at you with these beady little evil hamster eyes.
A few years passed, and I asked a mutual friend what happened to Zorbo? She said, "oh Zorbo's dead."
Well this is how she died:
She got so fat her SKIN TORE.
At any rate, that's where the name came from.
My original online name was LeafQueen, which still lives on in this domain.
I wanted an anonymous alter ego for this webchat that i used to go to.
So the first thing that came to mind was Zorbo, Princess of Darkness.
Of course everyone figured out it was me, and it got shortened to Zorbs eventually.
One of the weird alter-ego things that Zorbo did in webchat was wave sporks around and stab people.
I used to only do it online..but of course people started snail mailing me sporks.
...and the rest is history!
