What does your username mean? What is your avatar?

[iggystar]

Didn't we have this topic in the other forum?

Ok, my username is a variation of a nickname from high school. I had this weird dream about Iggy Pop. Now mind you, I'm not an Iggy Pop fan, so I have no idea why I was dreaming about him.

The dream was Iggy, walking down my street in Detroit (well, he is from here). He comes up to me and asks if I would like some of his new cupcakes. They look like those Hostess cupcakes in a little plastic container and they were called, Iggy Pop's Cupcakes. I thought that was hilarious dream so I told it to my friends the next day while passing notes and signed my name Iggy Pop's Cupcake. The legend is born.

Of course, everytime I've registered a username Iggy is taken..so I added "star".

The avatar is my Yahoo representation. Glasses, 'fro, black woman.

What about you?

[soundwave2-0]

[bird603568]

[slowmtnsilhouette]

:: takes deep breath ::

i originally registered with my usual sn which is sickgrrl723. but after i never received a confirmation message from revision, i re-registered (i was tired of lurking) as slwmtnsilhouette (slow motion silhouette) which is a lyric from a song ("what it feels like" - lola ray). i got impatient when the new revision wouldnt log me in under that sn (it still wont), so i made this one (slowmtnsilhouette).
my avatar is me.

My avatar I think is obvious.

[iggystar]

Either or both.

[kowgod]

As far back as like, 3rd grade, I used to draw crappy comics about a cow who bombed McDonaldseses. Sometime later that band Green Jelly released the song "Obey the Cowgod." My friends started calling me and my comic Cowgod, but in typical rebellious youth fashion, I decided to be all edgy and changed the C to a K.

My avatar is a picture of me forcing a smile in front of the Eureka Dunes, in Eureka Valley, Death Valley National Park, California. It was hot as ****. The desert almost took me.

[b0r]

Mine is from a homebrew game that I played on the dreamcast called Beats of Rage and my avatar is from ,probably, the best superheroe comicbook in the universe.

[satori]

when I was about 14 turning 15 my mom didn't appreciate how I was living my life. She knew I was an avid reader so she bought me a book she felt would shock me back to normal. She game me a copy of Jack Kerouac's "On The Road". I was completely amazed, at what a great work it was. It had the opposite effect than it was supposed to. I immediatly went out and picked up all the Beat Generation Books and materials I could lay my hands on. I then read Satori in Paris which was the book end to "On The Road" when he'd become this sadenend middle aged guy convinced he was going to suck all the marrow out of the life that he had. I've been in awe of him since I read that book, so I took the a name that applied to the feeling that I got, and that was part of the name of the second book that I'd read.
satori, literally translated, means kick in the eye, but it means epiphany, or more simply 'the awakening'. I don't capitalize it because I'm not so big headed as to think that I am the embodiment of an awakening... more that I experience these awakenings many times and I love being in the position of always learning.

my avatar is flat eric from mr. oize commercials... I only saw the videos long before I knew it was commercial... I just think it's a riot if you can find the rest of the videos... some muppet dancing to hard electronica... SWEET!

my avatar is the evil monkey from family guy.

[paulsaves]

I got my username from a guy I worked with in NYC. I was wearing a shirt that said Paul Saves in blue and red, I just thought it was clever because back then I was like "If Jesus can do it, why can't I?". Anyway, when he saw it he asked who Paul was, and I said me, then he got all profound and said, "Damn man, You're right. You do save, we all do. The saviour isn't just in Jesus. It's in all of us! The Government's trying make us think we're just Social Security Numbers. Damn man, you're right the saviour is within all of us... Do you want a coffee?"

Well I think it's profound. After that, it just stuck to me.

I recently just changed my avatar, at first it was this picture my cousin took in the city of a tag that said "Don't Be Shy" and a heart. Now it's a picture of me laying on top of my best friend while she's reading DMZ.

[soundwave2-0]

i always loved transformers as a kid, but i never really got into cars or trucks. soundwave was a guy that transformed into a boombox and had what i called "tape monsters" so he became an easy favorite.

I like to give giant cleveland steamers on peoples chests. Avatar is me celebrating after whooping everyone in Street Fighter 2 on the Sega Genesis.

[tokenuser]

I was invited by some friends to act as the "token user" for a software acceptance testing exercise in Unversity. My job was to be the complete n00b and ask the dumb questions to strengthen their app.

Since I was a software engineer, I had insight into what was happening in the apps, and the prof knew me, so in all docs for the subject I was referred to as TokenUser. It came out in the end who I was, but the name stuck.

Avatars? I like gargoyles. Technically I guess my avatar isn't a gargoyle, its a grotesque - since it is decorative, and not functional as a downspout.

My avatar changes from time to time - different colour, messages, etc., but all based around the same image. Since I am a mod, I added a sherrif's badge to the avatar.

On my gargoyle fascination - one of the best things I have done in a long time was climb to the top of Notre Dame Cathedral (Paris, not Indiana). Besides the view from the top out over Paris being magnificent, getting up close to the gargoyles (and grotesques) had me grinning like a school girl :D

[funnelfish]

[r3v]

r3v is short for r3v3r3nd which is the 1337 version of Reverend. I picked up the nick "Reverend" shortly after being a ordained as minister in the Universal Life Church online. (And yes, for those I've chatted with regarding the topic, I'm an atheist. I'm just all ironic and stuff.)

The avatar is me, as rendered by a cartoony avatar generator. I don't really have an eyepatch, but I didn't like the glasses I had to choose from... and it makes me more pirate-y. Arr, mother****er.

[kramertron]

I was bored as hell in math class junior year and wondered what my name would be if I were a transformer. My last name+tron, oddly enough it unintentionally caught on with a few people (none of which are into transformers).

My avatar is the former logo of the Fuelman gas station network, they have since changed their logo to something that has far less "man"

Is your first name Cosmo by any chance?

[losojosdemuerte]

I've have recently been on this lucha libre fascination. For those of you that do not know, Lucha Libre is a phrase used in almost every Spanish country which could mean professional wrestling or freestyle wrestling. A Lucha Libre perfomer is known as a luchador, the plural of which is luchadores.

So my friend and I were coming up with luchador names, Los Ojos de Muerte is what I came up with. It means The Eyes of Death, i thought it was pretty catchy.

My avatar is Shao Kahn from the O.G. Mortal Kombat.

[bcool]

my name is brian cooley-gilliom, which is way to long, so I just shorten it...

[muled]

Well on a long night of drinking my buddies were like we should do a movie because they just saw Napolean Dynamite and thought we could do movies no prob. Then it evolved to an internet show, even though none of them have an internet connection. And the premise was a hick version of punk'd there were many suggestions but muled stuck. And it use to be MuleD because caps on either end is cooler. The show never happened but "You've just been muled" sounds cool.

Avatar = Steer Skull because I'm a country boy through and through and I think that conveys that.

PS the name origin is complete BS .. after the part about me and my friends being drunk. The real reason is not one for little eyes to see.

[weebl]

my nick is totally random…
it was the first thing I thought of while I was creating my profile...the “thing” being Weebl from Weebl & Bob over at http://www.weebls-stuff.co.uk – check it out…it's really funny :)

[tokenuser]

PS the name origin is complete BS .. after the part about me and my friends being drunk. The real reason is not one for little eyes to see.Is "muled" the past tense of mulesing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulesing)? ... that had to hurt.

[squee189]

Squee! is a graphic novel by Jhonen Vasquez, a.k.a. Invader Zim creator, that's about a little christian boy that befriends the Anti-Christ. My avatar is the cover of the book, duh.

[avcabob]

About 7 years ago in high school, me and this kid were trying to respond to on some forum, tried about 10 names and they were all taken. So he comes up with Avcabob and says he uses it when he can't find anything else because no one ever thinks of it. I've used it for everything since then, and have never come across another avcabob anywhere on the internet. So if you see it anywhere else, it's probably me.

Avatar - another friend sent it to me to which I responded with Mr. Biggles!! (it's name). I have no idea where he got it from and I've only come across it maybe twice so far.

[mikeydub]

My avatar is Dean Venture from the Venture Bros. It's a fantastic cartoon that just finished its second season on Adult Swim. It went out with a bang too. Neverending Story + David Bowie + a whole lot of other funny stuff.

My name is my name. Mike W. It would have an 's' at the end of it (MikeyDubs) to match some other accounts of mine, but I messed it up when creating the profile (oh well).

[cheesus]

I like Disney. I like creating stuff. I like the number 9. 'Nuff said.

Avatar is stylistic representation of the best number in the world...

[ali_pinto]

I don't have a clever little story. My name is Alison, but everyone calls me Ali. So, my name is my name and my avatar is me.

[cyrinix]

in freshman year of high school we got passwords for computer class....mine was cxrnyixx...i was sitting in class one day and just mixed around and dropped some letters and came up with cyrinix, and i've been using it ever since

[narco]

My name is Narco, short for narcolepsy. I'm not narcoleptic, but one time I drank too much and a bunch of people shoved tampons in my ears, mouth and nose. I woke up and they all called me narco. It was also my name when I used to do graffiti for a number of years ago.

My avatar is from a live album from the band The Damned. I usually sign my posts "Fishes, narco" because I am a pisces and that's supposed to mean something.

[masherscf]

Let's see. I like to make my own beer. My Avatar is a well prepared pint of my own stout.

The act of convernting starchy grain to fermentable sugar is called mashing...hence, Masher.

I also like to play video games, So Masher is for the buttons.

[thefast]

I was thinking of what my avatar for the forums could be, and, after thinking about it for an hour or so, the idea came into my head for an old chinese man with a long pointy beard and a bald head who was facing the left (his right). So I did a google image search on "old chinese man", and the one I found was the closest to what I was looking for.

[klitzy]

Klitzy...Because I look like Klitzy from The Girl Next Door.....

[big-doze]

Back in Philly a buddy of mine is a musician, and he was performing at a showcase downtown. We were checking out the names of the performers before him, and it turned out that he was going on right after a rapper named Da Big Doze. They all suddenly decided that such a name was destined to be mine, since I'm big and... I... doze things.....

So yup. Stole my name from a local rapper.

The avatar is Sasquatch from the most recent relaunch of Alpha Flight. He kinda looks like me, and his pose is hilarious, so there ya be.

[satansmagichat]

Back when everyone was starting to get on the internet, or getting AOL (which so isn't the same thing) I got really tired of people having names like "john2456" or "jane1984" or some variation of their name with a bunch of numbers. So I thought up a bunch of random words thrown together without having to use numbers. Satan's Magic Hat just seemed to phonetically sound a lot better than the other ones (like my AIM screen name, arctic cancer). Since then I've gotten harassed by people taking offense to it because they think I must be satanic or wiccan or some other bullshit. "I'm American. Our names don't mean shit."

And my avatar is a long story. When I joined the original forums, I had Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski as my avatar. Then everyone started changing their avatars and I figured I'd roll with the punches, and changed it to RoboCop. After that it was RoboCop till we switched over. Then I figured I should get a new avatar for a new forums. So I used Jonah Hex. No one knew who the **** that was (great comic, btw) so I changed it to The Badger. He's another comic book character no one's heard of, but back in the old forums I brought him up all the time.

As for the avatar it's a drawing of a pig named hamlet. When I was 10 or so I started making stopmotion animations staring two pigs named hamlet and spamlet. I'd go and find heavily discounted toys for new animations some of my favorites involved a godzilla puppet. I've put the few I could find up on youtube. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=X_zVnPi1lsg)

Negative, it's a much more run of the mill American name ( and the second most popular first name on the planet to boot!).

[abrighterside-tothe-abyss]

Well my old name because I finally got around to changing it was delacommon with a pic of the band refused.

Delacommon was a combo of the rap group de la soul and the rapper common since I guess some time in middle school i guess that was all I listen to.

the new name which is A brighter side to the abyss is just a name that I came up with for my blog and it's kinda stuck.

The picture is from some photo I found online.

[diela]

I've been on the internet for close to 20 years now... I started with old text-based MUDs that are like D&D for chat rooms. Used Tilandra everywhere then... have no idea how I came up with that. It sounded exotic or something, I guess... and no one else had it.

Then I started online gaming... Unreal Tournament, etc. The name Tilandra didn't sound "tough" enough for those games, so I was trying to think of something that fit... die, die, die... okay, add a LA to the end to make it sound like a girl's name. I'm sure *some* people think it means I want L.A. to die, but that's not the case. Started pronouncing it "Dee-AY-luh" in my head, like it was spanish or something. :p Been using that for a few years now, but I still revert to Tilandra sometimes when five letters is too short. Pfffft.

My avatar is a screen shot from the boxing room scene in Pink's video for "U + Ur Hand". Now that I blew that mystery, nobody will like it anymore. Of course, who reads these threads in their entirety besides ME?

[iggystar]

I read all of the posts, especially in the treads I create. :)

I was actually very interested in the origin stories of my fellow dromers. I still like your avatar diela, I like Pink...the color and the musician.

[underlok]

For people that know me, Lok(i) makes sense, Underlok is an extension of that. The avatar is me, pissed off... It used to make more sense when I worked on a few gaming sites where the userbase would constantly piss me off.

Now that I have learned more about all of your thought processes I will input this data into my machine and someday attempt to replace all of you with identical clones. Identical in everyway, except that they will all want to **** me.

And incase any of you are doing the same thing and want a Xcat clone to ****, my name doesn't really mean anything. I've been using this SN for the past 12 or so years and I don't really remember why I picked it. I'm not a huge fan of the show, I think I just liked the name and logo, plus it's easy to remember if I have to alter it to register a name somewhere.

[muled]

Is "muled" the past tense of mulesing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulesing)? ... that had to hurt.

Ewwww ...

So my name is from one night me and my buddies were really drunk and I was *****ing about not being laid in a while. And after lots of drunken bantering they came up with MuleDick. The buddies were thinking they'd tell girls ya we call him that cause he's hung better than a horse he's hung like a mule. And it's stuck since it's usually shortened to MD. But I like the way MuleD looks and sounds so I use it.

PS it has worked on a few occassions. :)

Oh yeah - mulesing is gross, but the consequences of not doing it are even worse. PETA have a campaign that has been targetting the Australian wool/sheep industry - and hurting. I wish they would focus on a different subject ... they are clueless about how bad the fly strike problem is in sheep, and would be all over themselves saying "why can't you do something about that to stop the sheep from sufferering?" if the saw a sheep hit with fly strike - to which the farmers would reply ... "you stopped us from practicing mulesing ... what is your great suggestion now?". I am not anti cruelty to animals, but I am pro cruelty to stupid assholes.

[superdeformed]

When I was 17 or 18 I got an XBand modem for my SNES. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBAND) I needed a screen name so I grabbed an Anime Catalog. You remember, before you could buy this shit with ease online, you had to mail order forms and checks. Thankfully, XBand and later the internet lead me to tape trading.

Oh wait a minute, what was I typing about? Anyway, I needed a user name. So I flipped though an Anime catalog, an AnimEigo catalog to be exact, and spotted "Superdeformed Double Feature". I thought it was a cool name and used it for everything since then. However, if Superdeformed is taken I will use guyhatesyou (my name, hating you) or Ataru (Main character of the Anime Urusei Yatsura).

My current Avatar is my taking a swig of a small bottle of Mickey's Malt Liquor at a pizza place giving my friend the look of death. My first avatar on this forum was battlepods from Macross (aka Robotech) shooting dice, my second was Cobra commander, and my 3rd was Tanaka (a character based loosely after Studio Gianax founder Okada Toshio) from Otaku no Video.

well, it's just that Jlo's is a first and a last name...

I was going for the "is my real name" angle.

You guys... always so literal! :)

sorry. ima programmer - It's my nature.:o BTW, what nationality is that and how do you pronounce it? i've been saying "seemuss" in my head, and I have a feeling that's not right.

Angel...well I dono why I use that anymore....something left over from my early teen years, I think...the 1573? That was my locker number in 9th grade :P lol, oh and my avatar is me :)....btw first post since the new forums--I like!

You guys... always so literal! :)You mispelled "funny". Anyways, sorry Steve.

Scottish or Irish or something. And it's pronounced the way you would if I were short, had red hair and carried a pot of gold. :)"Hold still so I can hit you with this bat"...?!

[kowgod]

User name is my last name...

Dumb... bear? Dumbear. John... Dumbear.

[briangilmore]

Well my old name because I finally got around to changing it was delacommon with a pic of the band refused.

Delacommon was a combo of the rap group de la soul and the rapper common since I guess some time in middle school i guess that was all I listen to.

the new name which is A brighter side to the abyss is just a name that I came up with for my blog and it's kinda stuck.

The picture is from some photo I found online.


it's delacommon!!! hey!!! (anyway, my friends are starting a Refused cover band called "****ing Dead"...cause Refused is ****ing dead.)

So that would be Shay-mus? (Excuse the probably incorrect phonetic spelling.)

[harlo]

Name is short form of Harvey Lopez which was the name of my band in high school. Don't ask where the name came from, it just sounded fun.

My avatar is the evil doctor from Bugs Bunny cartoons. I don't know why, but I always liked the character. I was going to switch to the evil monkey from Family Guy, but it looks like someone beat me to it.

[calvinslug]

My screen name is the first one I created in 198X when I had my first QuantumLink account. I've used it off and on over the years. My name's not Calvin. I'm not a slug. I did, at tht time, like Calvin and Hobbes, because it was new (geez, I liked Bloom County too). I also liked to draw pictures of slugs and write poems about slugs, etc. I had a difficult childhood.

The current avatar is the Tolstorp Runestone, the image of which I have tattooed on my right shoulder (in case the coroner calls any of you for an ID).

Dude, Calvin and Hobbes sucks. If you want comedy, check out Garfield. It's funny because he's fat and lazy. HAHAHA!

Depends what browser/resolution you're using (I think), looks pixel-perfect on my primary computer and it's off on secondary. Oh well.

Don't worry, I don't even read newspapers anymore, let alone comics. I prefer to remain as ignorant of the world as possible.

[psylion]

Way back in the BBS days I was lionheart (from the Kate Bush album). Unfortunately everyone wants to be lionheart so I mixed my job (psychologist) with my old name, and wha-la psylion is born. My Avatar is one of my foster kittens when he was three weeks old.

[maharajamackdaddy]

This name was created as a joke because i use to get a lot of prank/ wrong numbers on my cell. I use to put on this thick indian accent and tell them "hey baby you have reached the Maharaja, how may I help you." Now I use the character to podcast.

Never thought I'd hear about Kate Bush in these forums. Awesome. I also totally miss the BBS days.

[darksydeavenger]

My uncle used to work for a place that specialized in making real estate programs. It was called Wyld Fyre or something like that and it was based out of northern California. I got to work there for two weeks and thought that was the coolest, so I started replacing all of my "i"s with "y"s.

And I was into star wars at the time so I thought, why not make a silly name based on all of this. Thus, darksydeavenger was born. Not exactly sure where the avenger part comes from though. Probably picked it because it sounded cool.

The avatar is me, in South Park.

I don't think this explains Darksy Deavenger at all. Isn't your last name Deavenger? Didn't the kids in school call you Darksy because of the circles under your eyes?

[darksydeavenger]

dewd...srsly...where did this strange pronounciation of my username come from?

I suppose I SHOULD set the record straight.

It's

Darksyde Avenger

as in the avenger from the dark side of the force.

[araym]

Hm...Araym was a soldier who fought for Jinam which was the fourth shell of the planet Septerra... But his arms blew off during a demolition and now he has weapons for arms, Google it as images. It was a game called Septerra Core:Legacy of the Creator

I read everything posted in this forum as well so your not alone.

My name is a combination of 2 bands from my town that kicked ass, and the avatar is Rorschach.
i thought that looked fimiliar!

[quest4748]

I chose my screen name year in December when I began my quest to change my life (it's a great story but belongs in a different section). The numbers were added because I was in between the ages of 47 and 48 at the time. And Brian in my favorite cast member of Family Guy (hearing him sing an ode to the wonderfulness of booze is enough to make you reach for the bottle yourself).

[r3v]

I don't think this explains Darksy Deavenger at all. Isn't your last name Deavenger? Didn't the kids in school call you Darksy because of the circles under your eyes?The Darksy part is right. But the whole name is "Darksy De Avenger". Because he's, you know, de avenger. It's like his title or something.

[bogart]

My user name goes back to the early days of 8600 baud modems and dialing into IRC chat rooms. Wanting something that was masculine yet not my real name. Was in a huge Casablanca phase, watching it 3-4 times a week, saw the box on my desk and it was a given.

As for my avatar, it's Rob Gordon from High Fidelity, my all-time favorite character in a movie. I would trade my day-to-day life for his straight up. On every other board I use the J!NX skull with glasses, because I'm normally the biggest nerd on that board, but here it just doesn't seem right.

[backhandbandit]

Well, my user name is an homage to my earliest LAN party days for Halo (1st).

It came from the cliché "he was beaten like he stole somthing". I switched things around by saying "he was back-handed like a bandit". Soon after, the gamertag and alter-ego "BackhandBandit" was born.

My avatar is an homage to too much free time with MS Paint.

[icedsoul]

well well...

my username, icedsoul, just picked it up a few years back when I started doing all that graphics and web design stuff in uni and just needed a name for a project... liked it and now.. well... it MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!


and for the avatar... it from an old anime series from the 70s called the ufo grendizer aka the ufo grandizer aka goldorak aka goldrake. too many names for that show. just loved it back then and a few weeks back I just found a fan project called the ufo and started watching my old vhs tape again and again... good old times!

And how does having a blue mowhawk make you look goth? These people you speak of should get their sterotype-ometers checked. You look like a dude from Rancid.

I gotta admit, that was my first impression. But considering your posts, I could tell it was just a joke.:D

[weedhappy]

So,.. my username derived from when I garden, I usually weed the Garden, and this makes me happy.

My Avatar is Krusty smoking, because I feel this expresses my inner feelings almost as well as interpretive dance, but it's a picture, while dance is something difficult to express in less the 99 x 99 using very little memory. The Deprivation of Computer memory, reduces my Chi making dance difficult, and it turns out, I'm bigger then a thumb nail, although my thumbnail is thumbnail sized,... so there's that then .

[ariastar]

Well, everyone calls me Aria. Since just plain Aria has been taken in most places, I added Star to it. AriaStar is also taken in a few places, but not as many. So I use it where I can. My av is a pic of me.
