Mine's an old nickname from high school that stuck. I use it on a lot of forums.

Good one!!! Payton is one of my all time favorites. The player I would have liked to have been if I had the talent/size/skills to play the game. Loved the way he never wanted to go down, but my favorite is how he used to punish dback by hitting them instead of going out of bounds. Plus, he had class and was a solid citizen.

I met Walter probably about 15 years ago at Laguna Seca (he had a car running). He really did seem to be an extremely nice guy, very friendly and accommodating to any dumb kid (me) who wanted an autograph.

"RAVEN" is my real nickname. I picked it up as a kid, because I had long black hair and the name followed me racing BMX, because my racing uniform was all black. I also just happen to be half Native American (Cherokee) ;) . Take Good Care and Be Safe Always.

God Bless :)

This name is apt for four reasons I can think of:

1) I work late, and I'm a night person.

2) I travel a lot with my work, often on the 'redeye' night trains

3) Again for work, I spend a lot of time reading, and writing on the computer

4) I'm not going to tell you about number 4 ;)

Coincidentally I used the same name as the thread creator, RIOT, before I started using this one!
