            Every time I see you, your username reminds me of EverQuest.

            I think I’ve brought it up before.

                In EverQuest there was a character named Canloe Nusback who would accept endless amounts of Crushbone resources in a repeatable quest and so who was commonly used for grinding.

                It was popular to call him “Camel Nutsack.” Once, I told someone in OOC chat that he was “fondly” referred to as such and someone else said that they’d never talked about a nutsack fondly. The exchange stuck with me, apparently for two and a half decades. Thus, your username reminds me of that conversation and, subsequently, the character and game.
