My username is basically just a result of random typing into my keyboard and hoping i got some kind of usable name (took a few tries to produce my current name). Anyway sohois seemed like a decent enough name so i stuck with it. I'm not actually sure how to pronounce it though

I think I answered this in a much earlier post. It started as a typo at a place of work and the typo appeared so often that it developed into a nickname. One of my friends even calls me 'Snads' which is a little rude I think.  |

We were somewhere around Wuxi on the edge of Tai Lake when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive...." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Suzhou. And a voice was screaming: "Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?" Then it was quiet again. My attorney had taken his shirt off and was pouring beer on his chest, to facilitate the tanning process. "What the hell are you yelling about?" he muttered, staring up at the sun with his eyes closed and covered with wraparound Spanish sunglasses. "Never mind," I said. "It's your turn to drive." I hit the brakes and aimed the Great Red Shark toward the shoulder of the highway. No point mentioning those bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.

As a nerdy teacher, many moons ago, I attended a presentation given by an Art Supply business. Free food and booze! Who could resist? Anyway, they had little guard dogs at the door filling out nametags, so I told them my name was George McDonald. I had already been for drinkies with friends, and I was feeling alllllright by then. The name tag was still stuck on me when I arrived home to the house I was sharing with 3 other blokes, and is still stuck on me to this very day!

My sotry is not so interesintg but back home in the UK I used to keep Chickens.
I was alwasy amused by one particular chicken ( a show breed) that make this thunderous gawk sound every time it layed an egg ( not a regular laying breed). It used to be heard all the way down the street and apparently rattled some of the neighbours frist time they heard it.
I used to introduce it as "my egg clucker" Sadly very early in its life it got egg bound and died, so I took this name in memory of the most odd ball chicken I have ever had.

I like throwing people off my true identity so I always fabricate characters to embody when I sign up to online forums. The word 'mustachioed' became a part of my lexicon while reading the novel 1984 (it's used to describe Big Brother, I believe). It also makes me think of V (for Vendetta) or any undercover character embodying a disguise.
Ken came from the works of Irvine Welsh. 'Ken' (apparently in Scottish-slang) means 'you know?' I like to collect files on things, whether they be images, words, or quotes and then combine them to create art. Mustachioed Ken seems (to me) like an undercover Scottish agent with an agenda to kick ass. But whatever. It's just one of many.

Right, we still haven't heard from the Master himself, Raoul. I have been scratching my head for years trying to get his name!
So c'mon, out with it!

My guess is it derives from a book by Hunter S. Thompson.
