    I always drive Benzes and wear Red Wing boots and carry a 1911. For a long time it would have been a white lefty Les Paul Custom, black leather cap, and hair down to my kidneys. It does seem that I'm becoming 'the kilted guy' to a lot of people with whom I associate. Guess that's a good thing. Here's a shot of the white Les Paul days:

    OK, where to start...

    Well, before the kilt I was always known for shorts and sandals in the winter. And I am still known for being a human furnace capable of walking barefoot in the snow indefinitely.

    I'm known for wearing a lot of black and gray, which is unfair because I wear a lot of maroon, blues, and dark greens.

    I am also known for my sunglasses, as my eyes are quite sensitive and I have trouble functioning during the day or even at night if there are bright lights.

    In a related matter, I am also known for being a crazy nocturnal predator who chases small animals, howls at the moon and climbs trees at 3 am. This is usually attributed to the fact that one of my ancestors was supposedly a fire breathing werewolf, another fact I am known for.

    I'm known for being sneaky and being able to hide anywhere (surprising given my size) and my tendency to pop out at people and scare the crap out of them.

    Similar to the sunglasses I am known for carrying earplugs everywhere because of my sensitive hearing. And I am known for my keen sense of smell, which I have been known to use for tracking under certain circumstances.

    I'm known for wearing a lot weird and mostly scary masks.

    And I'm known for my passion for fire. I carry a lighter but I don't smoke, I build huge fires and move flaming logs with my bare hands (again, fire breathing werewolf), and I once caused the rack in a fireplace to deform, and the paneling on a nearby couch to smolder.

    I'm known for my collection of sharp objects (and some big heavy blunt ones as well) and my habit of carrying one everywhere and using them in odd ways. You just haven't lived until you see the look on someones face when you offer them a brownie then whip out a wicked dagger to cut it.

    Speaking of brownies, I am known for my amazing brownies, which are extremely thick and rich, and have peanut butter chips and dark chocolate frosting. I am also known for eating food at least half raw, especially meat.

    I'm also known for my spy and ninja gear. Most people tend to remember the first time they see the ninja climbing claws.

    I'm known for my glorious hair, which is a bright, shiny, golden blond and is so thick it cannot be tamed. When I get my haircut I always get 2 commnts: "Oh my god, where can I get hair in that color" and "Oh my god, I think I need a machete."

    I'm known for my feet, which isn't surprising since my shoe size is "ogre" and I can hardly find well fitting shoes on the internet, let alone in a store.

    I'm known for telling great stories and jokes, and can entertain a group of people for hours. Because of this most people don't realize how much I don't like being in large groups.

    I'm also known for being a bit of a bull$#!^er, and just making up random crap that is completely untrue. I can lie incredibly well, and have made people believe outrageous, absurd things which any idiot should be able to see through. Oddly enough though it's when I'm telling the truth that most people think I am full of crap.

    I'm known for being a thief; picking pockets and locks. Don't worry though, I use my abilities for good (and/or mischief) not evil. Recently I got a lot of laughs when I nicked a friend's cell phone at a white elephant party and put it in one of the gifts.

    And I'm known for being completely insane.




    As you can see, I'm a fairly memorable guy. Most people can't forget me no matter how hard they try.

    Like Rex, I am well-known for my [usually waxed] moustache. On the job, I'm known as one of the last posties to wear a tie and the old peak cap. Recently, a couple of my younger co-workers started referring to me as "Czar Nicholas," although I don't see the similarity myself.

    I am known for my INTENSE gaze. It is so
    intense that children are scared of me.
    Some people think I am weird, wild or
    crazy, which may be somewhat true.
    I could probably out-stare Clint Eastwood.

    I guess mine would be my small ( it was growing until I started wearing kilts) of knives, My prized one is the one my father had when he was in the Navy during WWII it a K-Bar that he redid the handle of, the rest are just pocket knives.

    for what am I known?

    Mostly my bicycles. The screen name comes from this one, a 1996 Ryan Vanguard:



    I'm a bit faster on this one, though. 2002 Bacchetta Strada frameset, custom painted and built with Campagnolo bits:



    Used it for three of the four times I did Ride Across Indiana, and set a personal best rolling average of 21.1 mph for the 160 miles last summer.
    Lovin' the breeze 'tween m'knees!

    Most of the sales team I work with call me Scotch Man. Seems the only thing I drink when we get together is single malt.
