The "The" in my name implies that I'm above and beyond the most famous Riff ever. The "Riff" in my name is just a name.
Oddly enough a lot of people think I took the name from Sluggy Freelance, when the truth is one day someone said "You should check out Sluggy Freelance because it has a character with your name" and I've been a fan of it ever since.
When people tell me Riff isn't a common name I act like I've never heard of theirs before. "Mike? What? Like the candy? Is your brother named Ike? Mike and Ike, that's funny, you're parents have a strange sense of humor."
