When Josh was little he peed the bed a lot. He realized that is pee would make an interesting design on the sheets. Instead of washing them, like any normal boy, he'd take them off his bed and tie them around his next so he could be the superhero "The Little Tinkle!".

He started going to Ironpost as a PNPC, and has now become staff, taking the duty of Stuff Lord. RP is always a must, as he loves to get people involved in the plots as much as he can without being plot.
