Trouble cube dot net used to have a different owner, some Sam Brubaker person who was planning to host an online journal and showcase. Their project was "coming soon" for at least five years. Not quite sure what happened after that.

"Wannahockaloogie" from Finding Nemo is basically "Wanna hock a loogie" with the spaces removed.
