How do I explain 'gungebucket'
We all know what gunge is. It's that sticky stuff that lives round the back any old cooker, also the sort of goo that you get in the nooks and crannies of any car or bike engine that's more than about four years old. But, in my opinion, it's also the stuff that ends up in the un-defragged parts of your brain or computer. And let's face it, that stuff belongs in a bucket, right?
Now the goo from your old cooker and the muck from your old engine can be thrown out, without polluting the landscape please, but the frags from the mind must stay in the bucket in the corner. You're bound to use some of it someday. Just like I am in this post.
The rhythm of the word 'gungebucket' is nice, I really like the word 'gunge'. Say gunnnnge! It's one of those words that rings in the head. You know, like in the joke, "What's brown and sounds like a bell?"
But my brain conjured up the word from a 1969 music compilation type album called 'Gutbucket' with tracks from the likes of Captain Beefheart, The Groundhogs, Alexis Corner and Canned Heat. ( I just Wikkied it to get the details ;) ) Which in turn took its name from a generic type of home made bass instrument made originally from such components as a bucket a broomstick and a piece of string. ( ok, I got that from Wiki as well. )
Anyone had enough gunge yet?

A long-time girlfriend from Cartagena brought an interest in bringing Spanish language to English ideas. There are at least several levels on which interpretation may be based.

I was actually born with another name officially, but when my oldest sister had a crush on some boy when she was 13, my parents loved him, and had my first name added to my birth certificate, therfore, giving me two middle names. A little unusual I must admit! So I use my first initial with my last name.

Welcome Tracy
Have fun and learn!
If inquiring minds want to really know, Eyesee came from my deceased brother.
Back in the 70's he used to use an ink pen to draw a comic strip called EyeSee Comix
Eyesee was this big eyeball with hands and feet. Cool looking dude.
Eyesee would travel interplanerarily. Kind of like in the Hitchkikers Guide to the Galaxy
Solve whatever problems they were having on their planet and return safely home
I use Eyesee as a token to my brother, that he is still very much a part of my life!

Pulpo is Italian for Octopus. Octopus salad is a Sicilian tradtion around the holidays so it was in my mind.

It is a reference to my belief in Jesus and my being a "fisher of men".

I'm a "taphophile" -- meaning one who loves cemeteries. Old abandoned cemeteries are my specialty. Finding old funeral home markers to identify an unmarked grave is not only cool, but hopefully will help someone out there find their great-great-great-grandparents!

Well, my friends all think that I'm crazy because I do real stupid things, like I jumped of my neighbours roof into the snow (It wa literally knee deep) just as he came to park his car in his driveway from work. It was kinda funny, and my hockey coach calls me "Crazy Camy" ever since.
