It's the most intriguing thing about anything he's done on the site.

From time to time I have to explain my user name. It's been a few years so it's due again.

Me and my teenager friends liked to fish. We'd fish whatever lake, pond, creek, river was available. We made up silly code names for each rod. One would be baited with a little worm from under a rock. One would be baited with some artificial bait. But there was always the grandaddy, the biggest rod available, and that's the one you'd bait up with a worm, a roly poly, a grasshopper, a lil'smokey, maybe a piece of cheese, all on one big hook like a variety pack, and that's the one you cast out into the deepest darkest waters and let it sit. That rod was called the "Deep Rig 9". It's been 30 years since those days but I still use the handle.
