I used to be **dogsbody**. Now I’m SisterCoyote. I figure this will take care of the gender confusion problem. And if you don’t like it you can bite me. ---

This seems like as good a time as any to mention this. Last week I woke up from a dead sleep thinking “dogsbody” for absolutely no reason. dogsbody, dogsbody, dogsbody. I could NOT get that name out of my brain. (This happened once before with rastahomie). Well, sistercoyote, I think you’re a poopyhead for changing your name. Have a nice day! Zette ---

Since a flame has been requested, I am obliged to respond. I must admit, my first thought upon hearing the new name was, “Sister Coyote? Wasn’t that an Eagles song?” After that, the image came to me of a wolf in a habit. I don’t think I’ll be able to shake that one for a while. But congrats on the name change, may it genderize you well. ---

A wolf in a habit? Is that anything like a wolf in granma’s bedclothes? Although now I have to sketch this image, since it’s stuck in MY head, too. ---

Hiya **SisterCoyote**. So, where would you like to be bitten? Hmm? ---

Aww, I kinda like “dogsbody.” Reminds me of The Jam’s “The Place I Love.” _Where dogsbodies pick you up And graciously give you a lift With cherished thoughts and bitterness…_ [bites SisterCoyote] ---

I think **SisterCoyote** is a cool choice, and an improvement on **dogsbody**. Good. We need more wild souls around here. (And as for the “wolf in a habit” thing – well, this Wolf ain’t Catholic, so I wouldn’t know.) ---
