Gather around, ladies and gentlemen! It is I, the great, powerful, and absolutely awesome Literate Dinosaur! Today, I have a story that I would like to share with you. So grab your popcorn, sit back, and prepare for a good laugh…

Now, it all began in early July, of 2011, right before the 1.7.3. update...

*cue flashback music*

I was an absolutely awesome 12 year old, and a boy transitioning into manhood. At the time, I was a very large Yogscast fan, knocking out Shadow of Israphel video after Shadow of Israphel video. Eventually, I got inspired to create my own account for Minecraft, so I could perhaps replicate some of the amazing feats of Lewis and Simon, otherwise known as Blue Xephos and Honeydew.

There I was, loading up the page on Minecraft's website to make an account, parent's credit card in hand... I had just finished watching the video in Shadow of Israphel where Simon and Lewis first met Granny Bacon. I loved the character (in a platonic way) and I had decided that I would make a name based off of her. I chose a name that haunts me, even today...

As I am a guy, the first part of my username would obviously be Grandpa. After I chose that, I would have to choose the second part of my name. Oh, the choices to be chosen... So many breakfast items (bacon is an anytime item, though), but only one would do. So, after careful consideration, I decided I would use the word Muffins. Combine those two together, and I got the not so glorious name, Grandpa_Muffins...

What an amazing name, am I not mistaken?

Oh, you're mistaken, pal.

Who said that?

Me, your conscious...

Well, I'll have you know that it was an absolutely glorious name... at the time.

Yeah, at the time. I hope you regret it now, otherwise things might get weird between us.

Well, I wouldn't want that (sarcasm)... Wait a minute, why am I even talking to you? You're just a figment of my imagination! Get out of here.
