Caleb is pondering Trail Names

The idea of "trail-names" kinda makes me ill. Most avid hikers , especially thru-hikers have these silly hippie often nature themed nicknames which they go by while on the trail. "Happy Feet and Cocoa Puff started hiking last week." Yuck.

Explaining why I hate this to every hiker i meet this summer will become tiresome and probably make me angry in the process. SO i just want to tell people something when they ask, so as to avoid the discussion all together. But it clearly has to be a mocking nature. Any Ideas?

"The Breeze" would be solid because it would be a reference to great Lynyrd Skynyrd song "Call Me the Breeze" but no one would likely get the awesome southern heritage props... I'm assuming most people on the trail would not be huge Skynyrd fans.

My Vegas moniker seems too sacred, plus people might think its my real name.

I'm at an impasse.
