About the name: At 15, I was in a punk band. The lead singer took to
calling me "Fat Chops". A few years later, online for the first time, I
took the name, modified it, and made it my own: Phat Cheops was born.
If it sounds like something a 17-year-old n00b might come up with, well, it is. During summer of 2003, I was promoted from "Phat" to "Mighty" by my editor at Eightball, and it's a good thing, because coincidentally I was sick to death of the word "Phat". It's just so 1997.
