So, what is “Gooch?”
Well, according to Wikipedia:

The Gooch, a character (who is always spoken of, but never seen) on Diff'rent Strokes, an American sitcom
And "Vagabond":

–noun
a person, usually without a permanent home, who wanders from place to place; nomad.
Could it be that user names sometimes reflect not who we are, but who we occasionally and mischieviously would like to be?
