Welcome back, Socket Seekers.

So in case you didn't know, this blog used to live in a forum and the term Socket Seekers is from this post. In the past I wrote about how people would have had to have performed some form of self-electrocution on themselves. This resulted in everyone admitting that they had indeed attempted self-electroconvulsive therapy. This resulted in the origins of me calling my readers Socket Seekers. Since I am trying to maintain the timeline, and because it was the first thing I decided to do, here is the post where I decided on the name for all of you:

In today's edition of "I don't want to watch this progress bar," I decided to come up with silly names for my readers. I landed on Socket Seekers. I imagine all of you looking around for sockets to stick metal objects into to get that childhood high of frying your fingers and curling your hair.

**Some of the candidates were:**

- **The Outlet Lickers:** I was going to use this because it's hilarious, but I was informed it borders on a derogatory term and could cause me to get kicked off the servers. And we already had a close call this week.
- **The Outlet Explorers:** This was next, but it's kind of safe and polite. And the last thing I want to do is be polite. Also, we didn't grow up with Dora and I don't think kids should read my blog, so this is just a NO!
- **The Joy Buzzers:** I like this one, but for some reason it reminds me of carnivals and I don't have easy access to funnel cake, so this one makes me sad.
- **The Zaps:** We aren't a failed band from the 80s, but you couldn't tell that from my guitar collection. If we were a band, it would be Tammy and the Agoraphobes, obviously.
- **The Electrons:** Okay, this is just me doing word association. I am sorry that I thought about this one. And I apologize to all the electrons out there.
- **The Shocked:** Again, another failed word association. I mean, it makes sense in a "I am not creative" way, which is my wheelhouse.
- **The Socket Shovers:** This one was a little too dirty for what I intended. Let's all agree that we are not going to discuss its possible meanings; let's keep it PG, people.
- **The Wire Chewers:** This is another one I really like. We do live in a world of microplastics and I am looking out for your safety on this one. I know you probably do this, but I don't have to encourage it.
- **The Buzzes:** This one is so bad I didn't even write it down when I was coming up with ideas. Are we bees? What is wrong with me? We could have used the hums, like a transformer, but I think that is also too dirty. Get your mind out of the gutter.

**Useless Recap**

- Invented a variety of highly questionable demographic labels for my audience.
- Tammy and the Agoraphobes remains an elite potential band name.
- Electrons and transformers have received formal, recorded apologies

**Disclaimer:** I didn't type out the entire names this time, so take that, copyright fiends! Socket Seekers is a trademark of "I am too lazy to trademark this." Official T-shirts coming soon... maybe.
