Beautiful skin, Greebo!

btw I learned recently that "Greebo" was the name of a furious fictional cat, so I guess that's why we see you so often in the HellKitty?

When I first joined AH I was stumped for a character name, the first few I tried were all taken. I was reading one of Terry Pratchetts's Discworld comic fantasy novels at the time and his Greebo character came to mind. Greebo is a evil tempered one eyed house cat that the local wolves steer clear of.

I've since learnt (from Lynx IIRC) that greebo is also slang for a long haired biker. Not really appropriate to me as I own neither a bike, or much hair.

According to Google its also a name for a heavy metal fan who doesn't follow fashion trends.

My handle has been mistaken for the Star Wars character Greedo, who got blasted in the Cantina scene. Naturally I'd have owned that Solo dweeb!  :D
