The Story Behind the Name...

It was somewhere in Idaho, or maybe Utah...Sparky and I had been driving for half the day already, and we would be on the road for another 8 hours, maybe more. I was behind the wheel, while Sparky was brushing up his Spanish using his recently purchased Spanish/English dictionary. He started telling me translations as if I really cared including that of "arriba", and it turns out all this time Speedy Gonzalez was yelling "up, up" or "above, above" before he took off in his speedy way...

Moving on...During one of his translations, he managed to emit a decent amount of spit from his mouth to my face. So I asked him if he could teach me to say "Say it, don't Spray it" in spanish...so that he would understand in two languages that he was spitting on me more then that Dinosaur that killed the fat guy from Jurassic Park who remarkably resembled Newman from Seinfeld.

After investigating, Sparky found that his Spanish/English dictionary did not contain the translation for "spray". But it did have the translation for Staple Remover. "Sacagrapas". At first I was astonished and a little pissed off that it was lacking in the "Spray" department, which I thought was a more useful term then "Staple Remover", while Sparky merely just pointed out what a cool nickname "Sacagrapas" would be.

Hence, my new stage name...Sacagrapas...
