Can I put this in my metafilter URL?

I found an old myspace music page I put together a few years ago as a joke. All the songs are remixes of music from Star Wars movies and an MC Chris parody. I never expected it to last, and I was sure it would be deleted when Tom (the myspace overlord) realized that I had pirated music to my own page and it would be deleted. But it is still there. I was sure I canceled the account and I can no longer access it because the email I used to create it is long gone. I was wondering if I could link it to my metafilter profile page as my URL just for the hell of it?

You can link a picture of your boozehound uncle passed out with no pants on as your URL, if you want to. It's pretty much your url to do with as you please—there's no binding constraints on what goes in that field.

Goddammit, I just had a long and stupid day at work and you people wrecked it by making me laugh really hard.

Thanks a lot, Metafilter.

I'd rather have a boozhound uncle than a boozuncle hound.

(MetaFilter: Quite a reach for something so unfunny.)

People, does this really have to be an either/or decision? Can't an uncle be both?
