What inspired your MG 'nick'...avatar?

Being a life long rock / metal fan (yes i had long hair and a battle jacket in the late 70's),
i actually stole my 'nick' from a Judas Priest classic 'Night crawler'.
I just wanted to be able to say that i had a song named after me....hehe

I felt my avatar needed to express this. and a deep seated psychological disorder.
My facination with life's 'dark side'.

Is it just me, or do most simple online nicknames say more about you than you actually realize?

Sigh......this is one sick puppy!!!

 

Sgt. Tibbs is my other cat, the one who died several years ago. I usually use Felix4067 (my cat and my house number), but several years ago I needed to register at other forums than the one where I work without them knowing it was me, so I chose this.

My avatar is because I'm a Parrothead.

 

er its my name lol.

I actually registered to make a point to someone about some comments he made on the software I wrote so I figured i'd use my real name so he'd KNOW I actually was the software author.

Not sure why I have this avatar, I just like it

 

Well it certainly fits me and it just happens to be my last name (minus the 1) My avatar is how I feel about myself and it is just one of the ones avail on here. This fits me too. BTW, I really wasn't inspired. Laziness dictates most of my reasoning.

Jack

 

Shouldn't it read "Mattilda" ?

Lev has been my nickname for nearly 10 years and is taking from the band The Levellers. http://www.levellers.co.uk/www/lev_home.php?page=100155&v=1
(I hate their new website format btw).

My avatar I just like...always love to dance to rock music.....let my hair down.......chill....so I guess it is a good reflection of me

 

I have a huge burning monkey tattooed on my back.

The rest is pretty self explanitory after that.

 

not from this then ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_Monkey

 

I wish, but no.

I found out about the company afterwards.

 

Same here, never felt a need to be anyone or anything else...

Avatar is an old one I've used for many years, back when I was a hardcore TR player (avatar is of Lara Croft). I keep it, because it feels like me now...

 

and the same for me. my avatar (that is a strange word!!) was given to me by GT bless him. i like dolfins.

 

Sure you arn't a member of HALO er halo

 

nick is my name.

Avatar is a sketch a woman drew of me while I was volunteering for Senior Citizens Inc. art auction. It was a great gig, setup a laptop and run a power point presentation for free food and an open bar. Sweet!

 

Nick/handle has stuck with me since the 80's bbs days....

Avatar? Merely, I like brewing beer, hence my "Better beer bottle" fermenting a tasty IPA.

 

well lets see...
N5638J was my tail number i used when i co-owned SCA (South Central Airlines) for MS Flight simulator98 and up. we used the whole fleet from the Camel to Airwolf (from the show).

My Avatar is well Airwolf i am one big fan of the old series. i always when i have a chance use it as my avatar. I could go on and on but i will leave you with a link and a pic

Airwolf's homepage www.airwolf.org

 

Cylos: just a name I was using on a game... And the Born th Frag avatar because I love Quake

 

@n5638j- Ever since I saw him in Baseketball I haven't been able to look at him without laughing. "If you want my body...."

I guess that explains my nick. I avoid avatars and sigs because I'd devote too much time to them if I got into it.

 

Mr Pewty was a Monty Python character who was timid, shy, and completely pathetic. And as I am too, it fit me completely.

The bouncy guy is Zebedee. Late of "The Magic Roundabout", I picked him because it's always time for bed, somewhere.

 

My nick is my name...Toni...and I was born in 1947
The avatar is to let folks know I'm a Female...not a dude, boy or man.
That was beginning to bug me.

 

G.T. are my initials, and the avatar was given to me by Star and AbbySue a long time ago. I have other avatars but usually stick with this one. Not only is it my head sticking out the window, my first car was a 65 Mustang; this one looks like a 66, which is pretty darned close.

 

Insamaic has no relation to me, lol... Uhh, I just played around with words, and it came up, that's why it's weird... My avatar, that's just the only one I liked in the selection.

 

My friend's nickname was Viper and hes like 6 years older than i am so i turned out viper_boy lol The 403 came from when i tried to make an email address and sumone else had viper_boy so i had to make up sum random numbers lol. I really should pick a more unique avatar tho...

 

Name of the school of jujitsu I studied was called Kodokahn.
My avatar is actually a pic of me that I altered to reflect my mood at the time which was..

 

Nick: Well, I had gone through a lot of growing up and soul searching and such, and needed a new one. It is what I do at the moment, so I ran with it.

Avatar: If you look really closely, you will understand. I generally feel like that Chihuahua most days (plus, I love dogs, what can I say)

PS: Better version of the avatar attached

 

The old "Simon (my name), cyber, beer" thing. I've had a few avatars, but I seem to like this one the most. Freeweelin Franklin Freak, usually seen with Fat Freddy Freak, and Phineas Freak...the Freak Bros.
http://www.freaknet.org.uk/pages01/p01/wm01.html and here's the rest of the avatar.

 

Nick: reflects my skill level compared to others on the board

Avatar: relects my mood at times, and I wanted one that wasn't being used by a member!

 

My Nick? I think you can guess, LoL! It's been around a long time, is fairly simple and easy to remember.

Sometimes I'm kinda here, but not here like a 'Phantom'.

 

My nick is a character from a novel I was/am/might still be writing - though I haven't done anything on it in a number of years . The avatar is just a pic I had in my files - I believe I found it for one of my sons who was doing a history report on early American flags. I like the flag, and I thought it made a neat looking avatar - plus I wanted something unique.

After all my wife tells me I am very unique . . . but she looks so serious and somewhat sad when she says it . . .

 

Its Groucho Marx, after " Duck Soup", "A Night at the Opera", "Animal Crackers" and "Monkey Business" how much more inspiration do you need??



Go, and never darken my towels again.

Name and avatar are from an SNL skit about a Colonel named Colonel Angus. He's played by Christopher Walken. I think it's one of the most cleverly written skits off all-time. It's a naughty name to have if you get what my name really says.

I'm neither a Colonel or old.

 

I thought we'd done this thread a while back. Mine is self explanitory, I think.

Toni, I was never confused about your gender. I try to keep track of the ladies on this forum, never know if one is next door.

 

Rikky=My name,almost,kind of, I'm not very imaginative

Avatar=Its a mini Mr.T ! bwahahaha ROTFLMAO

 

bigbazza 'coz Í'm 6'6" (196cm) and 105 kilograms (or 230 pounds). I used to be 115kgs (250 pounds) but lost a bit. I guess not so "bigbazza" anymore. lol.

As for my avatar, it is a standard MG one, and is how I feel sometimes about stupid non-informative M$ error messages. Bazza

 

And because everyone in Ausland is called Bazza or bigbazza,its the law

 

Yep. lol Bazza

===

 

leopold - a long range gun the germans used to shell the anzio beach head with.
it was mounted on rails and weighed 230 tons.
it could shoot a 500 pound shell 38 miles.
there were two of them, robert was destroyed by the allies, leopold was captured and is now on display at aberdeen.
together they were called anzio annie.

 

avatar is the easy part.... because i have been called monkey for years...

the name comes from a character in "the Wheel of Time"

 

Hmmm...You could be right!

 

Yes, that is right.....defy the law here, and you will need to go into hiding somewhere in the NT.
I know all the good spots!

 

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who has labroed through thtat series.... loved it up until around book 6 or 7, then it started to drag.

LMAO!! Had seen yer name before and htough that, but there are enough other reasons, ah well... Robert Jordan forever

Oh well, my nick is fairly simple. it's been my nick online everywhere for the better part of 8 years since I first came online. Actually, its usually "Feral_Felinity", as I both work with displaced & feral cats, & I identify strongly with those feline outcasts of society who have it so hard in life.

Rather than CALL myself a cat, which is silly, because I am human, I use this word, because it signifies more "the state of being feline" in nature, where it counts, in the soul, mind & previous lives.

I too, eat from few hands. My trust is tentative at best. But when it is given, it is total.

And love, deep & never-ending.

My avatar is just a silly little smile for anyone who finds one in it. Ill change it soon to one more fitting of me.

 

Im a huge Halo 2 fan, and I have the Halo 1 and Halo 2 game, X-Box, Halo 2 t-shirts, posters, tons of wallpaper, and even a miniature figure of the Master Chief. Also when I play X-Box Live my favorite weapon for melee combat was the Energy Sword, which resmebles a blade. So thats where my name came from

 

In Greek Mythology, Prometheos was the Titan who taught primeval mankind the use of fire. To me, this is a metaphor for all things technological. In the course of my career, I've also had the oportunity to enlighten hundreds of my colleagues, hence the avatar of a lighted bulb.

 

Prometheos, a very astute use of a handle....Commendations.

 

um. .star trek
and he guy just looked cool
the other one was the same guy but smaller

 

I have always loved watching British television shows ever since the very first one I watched which also got me into science fiction as well. Don't get me to list everything I've watched and/or loved because it would be too long to list them here.

As for my avatar, I found this on a web site and fixed it up so that it'll work here since I'm also a huge fan of Doctor Who (yes another British television show).

Doctor Who holds fond memories for me as a kid, sitting with my brother on the couch Saturday afternoon with a Wagon Wheel each (chocolate coated cookie) and ending up behind the couch because we were so scared of those daleks!!!

**Exterminate!! EXTERMINATE!!**

 

As many times that I hear those stories, I think how cute they are. I would have to agree how scary they are although by the time I started watching on our PBS station I was (at least I think) barely a teenager.

Of course I started with Tom Baker like many other Americans, but I love it all. My goal right now is to collect the DVDs of the first two Doctors since I haven't seen a lot of them (at least the ones I can watch).

Robert

 

Jon Pertwee is the "real" Doctor Who for me, tho younger folks will remember him at Worzel Gummidge.
