My super-power
I work a guy who once said, after a notable verbal gaffe in the cafeteria, "If I was a super-hero, I'd be Lunchroom Faux-Pas Man."
I saw The Incredibles on the weekend and it got me thinking about what my super-power would be. I speculated it might be Almost Uncontrollable Hair, but that seemed a little shallow. I thought about it some more, and I then I remembered my most distinctive power: my Velcro Soul!
Yes, it's true. Everything sticks to me. I can't help it. Fallen-down barns, abandoned trucks, the sky on a moonlit night, AM radio hits from the seventies, useless junk on the curb... all stick to me like crazy, thanks to the power of my Velcro Soul. That's the secret behind my songwriting, and pretty much everything I do creatively. It also leads to a lot of moping, but hey, every super-power has its side effects.
Now I just need a name. Suggestions welcome.

What if your name could be a sound, like the sound that velcro makes when you unstick it?
