I even have above my desk the saying "Beware the dragon for thou art crunchy and taste good with ketchup."

I have a business card that I have saved for years. It says, "mettle thee not in the affairs of the dragon, for thou art crunchy and good with ketchup". It reminds me not to go there.

It's a play on the German "wunderbar" (wonderful) - my mother's family is German, my Dad's English/Irish/ScotsIrish. Since my first name begins with "Mar," my online ID is Wunder-Mar.

Rose is part of my name and also a family name. Both my daughters have Rose as a middle name, my grandmother was Rosa Lee and my niece is Rosalie. I'm also an Eastern Orthodox Christian and a choir director. Since I chant Byzantine chant, I have used byzantinerose for eons. (Or as is in the Orthodox services "unto ages of ages. Amen"!)

I really hope 'RippedonScotch' is reading this thread. Can't wait to hear the story behind that name!!!

I had to ask her and it is not what you think.

Mine is the same as my personalized license plate - and both "say" what I do.

Mine is the first of many I tried that wasn't already taken. Great minds, obviously.

Great fun reading all the entries here.

I love your name and the avatar is perfect.
