 |  |  |  | Mom named me "Loki" because she had become fascinated with mythology (I had a rodent "sister" at the time named Bucephalus B. Rat). Her Viking friend (yes, they do still exist) warned her against naming me after Loki. She didn't listen. She never does. When I was a kitten, I loved to attack things. Dad still has the scars. It was around the age of one that I became an "evil" genius, you might say. Manipulating my brother (also with a mythological name) to do my bidding.
The second part of my name is a joke, literally. I was born at the wolf sanctuary my mom worked at, and if you think about the irony of the wolves vs. Fenrir, you'll hurt yourself like Mom just did when she realized it. A few months before, they had realized Dad was deathly allergic to dogs (and wolves). To make a long story short, with the lack of oxygen during a weekend "wolf-sitting" stay, he began hallucinating and talking to the resident black cat, whom he referred to in this state as "Mr. Bipp", and telling HER how wonderful Antiques Roadshow was. Mom woke up to this in time to drive him to the hospital.
She never let him live it down.
So seeing as how "Mr. Bipp" was my predecessor and possible relative, I was named after her. The -tastic came when Mom realized what great entertainment I provided. She said I was fantastic.
Hence, Loki Bipp-tastic. |  |  |  |  |
