About

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

I was dubbed Inspector Gadget after I happened to have in my pockets all the necessary tools to finish wiring an overpowered sound system for a massive party that left 3 live goldfish consumed whole, two arms temporarily deadened because of electric shock resulting from rum spilled all over an electrical outlet, one seriously gouged-up back from falling on a door hinge, sand underfoot for what seemed like a year, two destroyed toilets, my own scalp split and bloody from picking up a box too close to a door handle and receiving an over-enthusiastic headlock/hug, one eviction, and me asleep in the emergency room lounge waiting for the casualties to return. Whew. Another time, another life...
