Is there some sort of legend about tollbooth guys or something (hence nickname).

Someone told me once that sitting at your computer table all day exposed your 'nads' to emissions which could cause your sperm to become 'slow'. I don't know what the research on this matter might have to say, but if it were true what do you want to bet that the men of PF would be willing to compromise slow-sperm-counts for high-post-counts?

Well, Adam Sandler had a track on a Cd called "Tollbooth Willie", and I thought that the name had some relevance, if you twist its meaning.

About the computer thing, hey, at least you have less chance of accidentally getting someone pregnant.
