Can I ask what you will do if someone really does adopt the name **Atomic Badger Racing**? I actually considered it for a few crazy moments - and then decided I’d lost my mind.

You people have nearly convinced me to leave my name as it is, y’know. I may get an admin to change it “Lone Raven” with or without the space, and I may even throw “The” there as well.  
You know, like “The Lone Ranger?” Huh? Oh, nevermind.

Thank you to everyone who’s commented, and written epics about me and suchlike.

He’ll either die happy, or start lobbying for **Steam-driven Hedgehog Wrestling**.

Unfortunately, **Q.E.D.** , there is not much you could do to mess up my hair further. It’s currently dripping wet and sticking up in spikes above my head.

But I’ll take the thread in the spirit it was meant… 🙂
