Kizz's Biography

Kizz was born into the single largest crime syndicate in Greece. They controlled all the major rackets, gambling, extortion, prostitution and of course salad. With an iron hand Kizz's father overlooked an empire worth billions of drachma (approximately $78.50). It was a standard of living that allowed Kizz to spend his youth residing just a few houses from Aristotle Onassis.
From the earliest years Kizz was an accomplished criminal. He started as a getaway driver for his father's bank robbing gang. He based his driving style on that of Michael Knight, the star of his favorite TV show, Knight Rider. At first the gang was amused by him calling his car Kitt, but after they were easily apprehended following a robbery because of Kizz having put a flashing red light on the front of the car and wearing a home made David Hasselhoff mask, he was relieved of his driving responsibilities. Despite this he continued to be involved in automobile crimes for many years, even after he moved to the US.
His next adventure in the world of crime was based upon his fantastic mathematical skills. He devised a system of devious genius to beat any casino. The system was so complicated and involved that it appeared to the naked eye that Kizz was actually losing money. So complete was the scheme that the casinos themselves believed they were winning and Kizz actually left with considerably less money than when he arrived, nevertheless Kizz insisted his system was flawless, the perfect crime.
Eventually Kizz realized that crime was not paying, and that there was no way he could hope to escape his criminal roots in Greece. Therefore he decided to relocate, remembering what little he could from the few times he had attended school he headed for the land of the free. Taking what little cash he had available he bought his plane ticket.
After three months in Albania he discovered he had misheard and that America was actually the land of the free, Albania instead being the poorest country in Europe. Wages were so low it took him eighteen months working in a salt mine to earn enough money to pay for a one way ticket back to Greece. Disheartened at his failure thus far, he fell into a depression and did little more than hang around the streets of Athens considering whether to grow a moustache or not.
It was his old hero David Hasselhoff that snapped Kizz back to reality. He decided that if in America a man of as few talents as Hasselhoff could co-own a television program that was viewed by over a billion people and be a major pop star in Germany, then there was no reason Kizz couldn't be as successful. So he packed all his possessions into one small bag and set off to walk to America.
After about two miles he changed his plans, instead he hitched a ride to the docks and sneaked aboard the luxury yacht of his old neighbor, Mr. Onassis. Discovered a day later he was allowed to stay on as a cabin boy. He traveled the world, along the way learning to shine shoes, swab decks, drink rum and say "I am just a poor innocent cabin boy who has little money, how about something for free" in twelve different languages.
He left the luxury yacht in New York one fine December morning and began his quest for the good life. Without any valid paperwork he tried various menial jobs even tech support and it was here he first made the acquaintance of Limeygit. Tired of all that work he found himself involved in crime again. Where he again bumped into Limeygit.
He had spent considerable time on his journeys studying web design from Library books he had borrowed in Athens. His skills were first rate and he began to consider starting a career in this field.
While staying in a shelter one night though he drunkenly told his story to what he thought was a shrunken old man. It was Gordon H Monkey who was looking for a designer for his new minor label/self-released artist's website. Kizz refused the initial offer, but when Gordon threatened to turn him into the Greek library commission in regards to the outstanding books he had little choice but to agree. The library fines easily amounted to twice the gross national product of Ghana, and Greece had yet to outlaw the death penalty. Thus Kizz became the third member of Indiemonkey.com, and will forever have to deal with the stigma of having the email address, webmaster@indiemonkey.com.

[For anyone that really cares Kizz is a talented and available web designer. He is proficient in lots of weird web thingies, stuff that involves lines like 'var i, j=0, objStr, obj, swapArray=new Array,oldArray=document'. Should you be in need of such help contact him. He also is the proud owner of www.ohok.com which is pronounced 'Oh, Ok!' not 'ohock'.]
