Is your nickname related to the White Stripes song of the same name, by any chance?
Off subject: I'm not an ACE, but I'd like to point out that you're welcome to join the many conversations and random games at Ask H2G2 (F19585), especially the Anagram Game, which can be very entertaining if you like word puzzles. Also, there are plenty of organizations you can join here, even if you have no intention of participating in them. For instance, there's the newly created Fool's Guild (A2080054), which I recently joined, the h2g2 Monty Python Fan (Pythonist) Society (A1046701) and the Random Quotes Guild (A907382).
Anyway, great nickname!

Thanks for letting me know about all those possibilities! I am afraid that my nickname is only derived from the fact that I am a gymnast though. I will definitely check out some of those things you suggested. Oh, and by the way I like your nickname too.

In an odd coincidence, the current word in the Telegram Game is "gymnast." (You can to F19585?thread=318538&latest=1 to see the latest post in that game)
I was looking around H2G2 yesterday and I found the Overwhelmingly Huge Guide to H2G2 Clubs (A270325), so have a look around that if you're really interested in joining clubs (if not, don't bother - it would take an overwhelmingly long time to visit even a quarter of the clubs listed there).
Thanks for the compliment! It's . . . I'm not sure where my nickname is from, exactly . . . it probably started out as a parody of "Dr. Evil," or just as an imaginary name for a Bond movie villain.

Well as long as your nickname works for you then it is a great nickname! You really seem to know your way around this site well! Thanks for pointing all of these things out to me, and it is kind of odd that gymnast was the word for the Telegram game. Should I mention a few other random words for you? (OK maybe I won't, but grapefruit comes to mind.)
Key: Complain about this post
