This is the reason my regular dealer sold various items when I was in college.

He figured he had the rest of his life to be boring, but the excitement of dealing was too tempting right now to turn down. I'm betting a lot of the people running these sorts of things are in that area; it's just too interesting to try and too much adrenaline at times.

Also, are you named after just general detritus, or the Pratchett character?

ha, I quite like the idea of General Detritus! Just detritus generally. It's strange for me as I've been using it for so long now, my mind skips a beat and I feel like I've had a post update whenever I come across the word IRL :)

I've actually just picked up my first ever Pratchett - "Small Gods" - after having somehow avoided reading him for the past 30 years!

"Detritus was the first troll member of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch..." - I'll look forward to that, thanks!
