Avatars and usernames

[sonofagun]

My dad died when I was a young boy.

One of the few memories I have of him is him exclaiming "Sonofagun" whenever he'd get upset about something.

I change up my avatar on occasion. No real meaning.

 

[stchas]

Stchas - S is the first initial in my first name. T is the first initial of my middle name. Chas is part of my last name. Avatar, don't know, it made me chuckle.

 

[indytechnerd]

username: one of many descriptive monikers for me. Those who know me say it fits.

avatar (current): John Connor, it's a cool movie and a good pic. The avatar will change occasionally.

signature: In one of the sections of the Creation Museum in KY, there's a door with about a dozen locks. This statement is carved into the door. Seems fitting. (the door was my old avatar)

 

[pinshooter45]

Hope I'm not duplicating did a search first so I don't think I've answered this before. Mine comes from when I started shooting bowling pin matches at MCFG. Went there with my P95 in 9mm, it did not do bad to start, but after the pins fill up with lead from .40's and .45s I knew I needed a bigger gun. So I bought my Colt .45 government model to shoot the bowling pins. Hence PINSHOOTER45 was born. And I haven't shot pins in a long time, boy do I need to correct that problem! Avitar is my refinnished 98K, Bushmanster with bayonet, mags and ammo for both!

 

[Socomike]

Socomike-----Socom because I was under the command and it sounds cool
-----Mike is my name

Picture is me at the moment.

 

[Bummer]

My screen name is my nickname, given me in 1970 in the Navy by two different First Class Petty Officers in two very different places. Neither one could read my last name off of a list. It stuck, so I gave up and went with it.

The avatar is a pic of me standing next to my bike. I ride. A lot. So it just seems natural.

 

[rhino]

That is a word full of awesomesauce. I am *so* adding it to my vocabulary!

I live to serve!

 

[Birds Away]

Birds Away is the radio call made by US Navy warships when they fire a surface to air missile. The avatar is the USS Dale (CG-19) firing an SM-2ER surface to air missile from her aft launcher. One of my former ships.

 

[Caleb]

didn't we have a thread on this already?


...um...my name is Caleb, pretty self explanatory as is my avatar.

 

[indiucky]

People in Southern Indiana have to deal with "Kentuckiana" being used to describe the region. When I was a kid I started calling us "Indiucky", A guy I knew called us "Little Orphan 'ana" in his editorials. (Jim Nichols, he was editor for the Evening News in Jeffersonville), I told him I always called us "Indiucky", He asked if he could use that word for an editorial. I said he could and 12 months later the newspaper was selling t-shirts with a copyrighted "Indi-ucky" logo. I ripped his butt, but he had already leftt he paper and said it was the papers doing, not his.

I still use it as my moniker and have for years.

 

[Kagnew]

Both refer to one of my old homes, in a time and place far away: Kagnew Station, Asmara, Eritrea (then a province of Ethiopia).

 

[MrsXtremeVel]

Mine's pretty obvious.

 

[theweakerbrother]

My avatar and userid are cleverly intended to conceal the fact that I am actually Scutter01.

The jig is up, sir!

 

[theweakerbrother]

My user name is what happens when I get my fingers on the wrong keys when trying to type my real name.

My avatar is named URL. He's a fish in a squirrel suit. My daughter does taxidermy and she made him.

Are they for sale? By the dozen?

 

[loudpedal]

My name is based on my favorite part on my go kart. Tony 125cc TAg

My avatar is my effort to pay homage to the great Ayn Rand. Some times I feel like John Galt. It seems that I hold the moochers on my shoulder, while fighting off the looters with one hand, and trying to produce with the other hand. The moochers had better hope that I don't need to use both hands to fend off the looters.

 

[Hanu]

Are they for sale? By the dozen?

Url is one of a kind, as fas as I know. She did some mouse magnets and was selling them on Etsy but it doesn't look like she has anything for sale right now.

[ViperJock]

BSG. The fighters are "Vipers" and the pilots; Viperjocks. Avatar is a Viper. Love the show. Always wanted to be a fighter pilot growing up.

The signature line is a reference from Brandon Sanderson's "Mistborn" series in which allomancers "burn" tin in order to improve their senses and be more aware of their surroundings; ie situational awareness.

 

[bmmyers08]

mine is my first and middle initials and last name. the 08 is from baseball. i wore number 8 in college.

 

[rhino]

The jig is up, sir!

GADZOOKS! I am undone!

 

[9mmfan]

Username is quite obvious, I'm sure. Avatar stands for my son and I. One night we were having hot dogs; on our second go around, there were two buns left. You can guess the one my son picked!
