    Grew up on the river, still love being on rivers and exploring them to the smallest tributary...and now kilted is the way to do it...

    And, when younger had ambitions of being a river guide in Glen Canyon on the Colorado while kilted.

    Feeling closer to my roots, I guess. I had never used Jackson before, but, that's what my Dad used to call me. My given name is just Jack. I have several ancestors that are named Jackson, or Benjamin Jackson is typical, however. My grandmother was a Cameron, so, upon joining this forum it just seemed natural to use the family name.

    First i want your job!

    My came when i first started playing online MMOs about 12 years ago. It started as Corvus latin for Crow and then some idiot decided to report the name as a book title or something like that and i was forced to change names it was modified into Korvis and somewhere along the way became Korvyn. I use it for nearly all my games now and my wife says it is my alter ego lol!

    I used to race motorcycles...sometimes you don't finish the race. You know what they say " If you don't crash once in a while you're just not trying hard enough."
    I'm just trying to be the person my dog thinks I am.

    My name came about because at the time I joined this forum I had long hair and a full beard flecked with silver grey and am quite a big fellow. People used to say that I looked like Grizzly Adams from the TV show. I also love wildlife and bears so it was a natural choice for me. Although I do have to say that there are not many bears in Southampton UK.

    My real name is at the bottom of this page though.

    My husband used to use the name "TurboDog" after a malt beverage made by Abita brewery, and I wanted something to go along with that.

    The name also makes me think of a cat in a blender, which makes me laugh and is sometimes apt.

    I misspell it intentionally because there a few other TurboKittys out there and I don't wish to be confused with them.

    Black Rose is the English translation of an old Irish poem "Roisin Dubh" which I was fond of in school.
