A little off-topic, but...
http://www.amazon.com/Once-Eagle-Anton-Myrer/dp/0061030864
My name is from the title of a book that, honestly, changed my life during the small time frame a book can do that you a young man. This is one of three novels that I use as framing references to how I conduct myself, my life, and the world around me. I'm not saying I'm going to be Sam Damon, the main character of the book, but rather that the (fictional, yes, but still-) experiences and viewpoints have qualities that have echoed in my own life, virtues that have risen in the same. Most make it out to be a military novel, but it shouldn't be- it's a novel of coming into your own as a good man, and trying to be remember as such.
And for actual title? :'Once an eagle examined the shaft of an arrow,and after a while he looked up and said,"Indeed it's by our own feathers that we are smitten."', an from an old Lybian tale.
Sorry for the diversion there...

You have to figure his name is Ray Kemp, Karaya would be using his first name and first letter of his last name, and making every other letter in his username be an "a"

We have two australian shepherds. One of them we named Epi, but it has sort of morphed into Epi-Do, sort of like Scooby Doo. (When she has gotten into trouble we call her Epi-Don't, so that is why it is 'Do' instead of 'Doo')
Just didn't feel up to coming up with something more original, so I stole the dog's name.
As for my siggy - well, it just seems like good advice to follow.

So, you named yourself after a female dog? You seem so un- 'female dog' like!

LOL, Bossy! I guess, yes, I did name myself after a female dog. And, as a side note, like any other female, when properly provoked, I can act as such. It is just something that rarely happens, that's all.

I think my sign on choice is pretty straight forward: I'm a chick, I'm a medic, and then the year I was born.
As for my signature... I evidently look like I'm 16.
Plus during my internship both my precepter and my partner were literally old enough to be my father, so I guess the saying kinda stuck.^_^
I feel your pain on looking young and getting funny looks when you come on scene, btw 87 is a good year to be born if i do say so myself.
as for my username it a joke from back when i Used to do crew, we would row by this buddist orphanage, and every once in a while the monks would be out with their shaved heads and orange robes trying to start a lawn mower....and not being able to pull it hard enough. My team found it quite amusing, and hence themowingmonk.
