My nickname in the '80s and '90s used to be "Miihkali". Then there was this very popular Finnish humour magazine called "Pahkasika" ("Warthog"). In Pahkasika there was a popular comic whose main character was a 3-year-old kid, also called "Miihkali". One of the episodes was called "Miihkali ja potta" ("Michael and a pot"). My very good childhood friend has always loved puns and then one day in 2002 he sent a text message to me saying "Poohkali ja mitta" ("Poohkali and a measure") and nothing else. He had swapped the places of the first syllables in the words "Miihkali" and "potta". I loved that brand new name "Poohkali" so much that it has been my username from that day on.

The "Michael and a pot" comic was also the source of inspiration for my famous drunken review of In the Aeroflot Over the Sea.
