I'm...

Over on another blog entirely, Peter David, writer of stuff, is pondering his discovery that his online identity, PAD (culled from his initials), is also known better known in the medical world as peripheral artery disease. Naturally I'm aware that depending on the circles in which you travel my own initials might be better known to represent Microsoft or multiple sclerosis (which I'm certain is far trendier than peripheral artery disease), but I wondered what other meanings they might have. The internet being what it is, I hazarded that there was a very good chance that it would contain a site somewhere that would be able to give me a little more information. And lo, I was right: behold the mechanical marvel that is The Acronym Finder.

MS returns 172 different results (disappointingly my full set of initials mpjs doesn't return anything), most of which are rather mundane. However, one in particular stood out. It's on the bottom of the first page. See for yourselves. All I can really say in response is: "Bwahaha. Come along, Igor, there's work to be done!"

Well, my initials as they appear on all government-type documents - RC - return a long list including the ubiquitous Roman Catholic (though I do like the sounds of the Ragin' Cajun ride...)

My initials as per my commonly, or at least verbally, given name - KC - return a lot of references to bands.

But it is of course my full compliment of initials - RKC - which retuns the blazing insight into my character. Only two results, and it is of course the first...

"Sorry, JJS was not found in the dictionary."

I'm not sure whether to be crushed... or not.
