R-Dog is my post name and it's short for Reservoir Dog which is the name of my fantasy baseball team, the Reservoir Dogs. That name is from the Quentin Tarantino movie by that name. Cuchoolan is a Celtic mythical figure. It's usually spelled Cuchulain, but B.net wouldn't let me have that. The Cuchoolan spelling is from Frank McCourt's book, Angela's Ashes. The "ch" is a gutteral "h" sound, so it's pronounced Coo - HOO- lan. Sun_Ra is the name of a deceased improvisational jazz musician. He is known for his long nonsensical monologues and coined the phrase, "Space is the place." That's all I have on B.net, but future characters will all be jazz music names.
