First, an explanation... Once upon a time, in the early days of forums.starwars.com, way back in October 2001, there was a chat thread called NM and PM's Place. This was a thread that sort of served as a chatroom / role-playing area. It was comedic roleplaying. We had a lot of fun and some really crazy times. As stupid as it sounds, it really helped me get through some sleepless nights (chatrooms are an insomniac's friend). At any rate, the first time I came into the 'Place, I said simply "hah im a fish!!!", which was actually the title of a nonsensical thread that was posted in the Episode II (Spoilers) forum (it's long since been deleted). By this "fishy" comment, everyone then assumed that my 'Place character was a fish. So I didn't argue and went with it. Twineball was a fish from a mostly ocean planet in which the waters were actually vinegar. He had a three-headed zebra that stayed in the basement of the 'Place from time to time. Twine would normally enter by posting *flops in the door*, *flops onto the counter* "Hey, what does a fish have to do to get a vat of vinegar around here?" He would then wallow in the vat and drink a Pabst from time to time. That was my NM and PM's Place character. Eventually, the roleplaying stopped and NM and PM's Place shut down and the character came to an end. When one of the proprietors sort of relocated to a new 'Place, I wrote a teaser to a fake fan fiction about him.
