Grey Wolf -was- the name of a friend in high school back in Oklahoma, and I'm embarrassed to say that I can't remember his Anglo name at the moment. (in much pain) So you must be related.
Though I think "White Indian Guy" will be easier to remember, so I may call you that from now on.

The name comes from Black Dow, a sharp-tongued member of Logen's band who is famed for his ruthlessness in Joe Abercrombie's First Law trilogy.

My name comes from a combo of Jame Retief of Keith Laumer writing and Bek Rowe from Voyage of the Jerle Shannara by Terry Brooks.
Its "JameRowe1" here because I didnt realize this particular ProBoards forum would let me spell it "Jame Rowe" - with a space and without a 1.

You all are three young to me since I am 61 and there are people that are older than that on here and they think I am young. I was asking her, "old man." For some reason I don't think of 61 as being that old anymore.

Oh my! That is ancient! 44! May I ask your age, for 44 to be ancient? Not so much to me, I'm 37. I'm 20 and I have girl friends who have dads only a year or two older than you are, so yeah anything around 40 is ancient. At 37 you have one foot on the slippery slope to oblivion, be careful you don't lose your footing. Seriously though, I expect to be more attractive the older I get. My mom, grandma and great-grandma are stunning. I'm just pretty, I am too young to be beautiful or stunning, that only comes with age and maturity. I was taught that you look at the whole person and beauty is more about the inside than the outside, but a good heart and good character impacts the outside as do a bad heart and bad character, both combinations will show on your face. I read recently that it is wrong to tell someone to smile, the women in my family disagree. Who is the number one person that feels better when you smile, you of course the one who is smiling. Telling someone to smile is the same as telling them to eat right, exercise and get enough sleep. Smiling also affects the people around you to your benefits and to theirs.

If your profile is correct your birth DAY is one day before mine - Aug. 10 vs. Aug. 11. How 'bout that. And I enjoy seeing someone of your age being a fan of Classic Traveller. It's a game that should continue.

Jame Rowe I was not offended at all and Mighty Darci "differently aged" I am actually surprised that I have not seen that widely used already.

When gmail first came online, I was eager to get a name. Being as my name is Jeff, and I vastly prefer that name over any internet handle, I tried it out. Taken. I tried my full name. Taken. I tried Uriel, because I have a passing interest in Christian mythology (and was playing Diablo 2 at the time, what with Tyrael and Izual and the like). Uriel was too short, so I changed it slightly to Urieal. It has stuck fairly well since. Regardless, I vastly prefer the name jeff or jeffjohnson on a forum or any other account. Edit: HA! You can change your name on the forum. Schweet! I shall hereafter be known as jeff

Reference to a magic item mentioned in the movie, Big Trouble in Little China.
Fun fact #1: My avatar is a still frame of the character EGG Shen. EGG! Get it?!
Fun fact #2: I read through all the EGG Q&A threads at DF and EW and I was floored. Matt Colville (Yes!! THAT Matt Colville!) asked EGG:
"Originally Posted by mattcolville: Gary-
Not sure if anyone's asked this before, but if there were a canonical Gygaxian campaign, and you wanted to communicate the tone and style of play to a newbie, what movies would you have them watch as reference?"
"Originally Posted by Col_Pladoh:
The spirit of the adventuring I attempt to provide is conveyed The Deep and the hoped for excitement in The Naked Prey. Another good picture for capturing the spirit of a fantasy adventure is surely Big Trouble in Little China."
Whoa!! BTiLC was my favorite movie as a kid and I had no idea D&D was even a thing at that age!!! Also, there's a beholder so...

EDIT: That clip is appropriate for the 4th of July as well. Serendipity PD! They had to tweak it enough to avoid infringement, and couldn't refer to it by name, but yes:
