I've been playing drums since I was 8, played in several rock bands and got wild 'n' crazy while doing it, so "Animal" (the Muppet) became my spirit guide and mascot on my drums when I played live.
"K" - my first initiial.

I wrote this on the CLS forum a while back:
Ever since reading Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac I have been hooked on the story. It is one of the great tales that lends itself to a lot of interpretations (much like Dicken's Christmas Carol). Cyrano is one of literature's great characters. I think most people can connect with him as he embodies both our pride in our strengths and the shame of our insecurities.
Then of course there is his panache.
Panache is a French word. Anthony Burgess noted once that when he wrote his translation of Cyrno de Bergerac that he needed to introduce the audience to the concept of Cyrano's panache. Being it is not just his hat's white plume but also a representation of his character, his flair, his soul, and style. There just wasn't a suitable English word to replace it with.
I just love the word.

A Star Destroyer would kick the Enterprise's rump, though.

I think I would choose a Warlock Class Destroyer (Though I think a zeppelin is a far, far more elegant means of transport)

But not the best for blowing Federation, Klingon, or Imperial Ships out of the Sky.

A very important factor, and one I will not disagree with! ![Very Happy](http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
