What's in a name?

Hippopotamus. I am not fat. I don't have unusually large teeth (although one at the front sticks out a bit). I like water, not so much mud.

My name is an homage to British comedians, writer, actor, asexual and all-round bloody genius Stephen Fry who wrote a bizarre, sick and hilarious book called 'The Hippopotamus'. The eponymous hippopotamus (oh, how much should that be the start of a poem?) is an alcoholic, lecherous old (male) hack/poet. I am, or aspire to be, at least three of those things.

Repeat, not fat and muddy. Also not in Africa.
