    Ok, I'll jump in here. My user name refers to the last step of the Appleseed Project. There are Cooks, Riflemen, Line Bosses, Shoot Bosses, etc., and those of us who can't shoot, but can volunteer and help do the 7th Step, get the word out about the organization. Hence, 7th Stepper. Cuz I can advertise with the best of em! :):

    My Avatar is my Therapy dog Benjimin Twinkletoes McWrinkles, (Benji for short) an American Pit Bull Terrier, who's laying on our daughter after one of her surgeries, keeping her warm and comfortable. If you look closely at his face, you'll see a look of total love and contentment. And they say these dogs are mean....just lookit that face! Then let your heart melt.

    My first Avatar was one of our other dogs, Mr. Pogo Stick, so named because when we get home from somewhere he's so happy to see us, he follows behind us jumping up and bouncing off our butts. Personally I'd have called him Freckles, but I got over-ruled.

    I have another user name I could have chosen, but I wanted to be original and not a "tag-along". :):

    T-mann because I couldn't have Tinman, which is what my nickname was in the military and as a bachelor.

    My avatar is because I am a veteran of the USAF. My avatar will change from time to time though.

    Name: I'm Rick and my son is Zack. He is a great kid. We found this website together.

    Avatar: I really just like boobs and hers with the Colts logo made them acceptable to portray.


    Woohoo Rick best avatar I've seen! As for me, first name and a combat vet in Iraq, hence the name, and the avatar "Combat Action Badge"

    Hmmm... I thought I'd done this before, but I don't see my name in any of the previous posts in this thread.

    So here's one where we've done something similar:
    https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...es_a_persons_avatar_say_about_themselves.html

    My avatar has changed since that thread...

    So .. um.. my username is my name.. because well, at the time I was the only girl (there may have been ONE other, but she didn't post... ever.) so I thought it would be pretty distinctive. And I didn't think I'd really ever post again except for the one reason I initially created an account (to say thank you for the encouragement I was receiving as a total n00b through Lars' posts). Yeah... so that worked out.

    And my avatar is an awesome emoticon that Bill of Rights had made for me because he is awesome. <3

    Ok, I'll play. Hammerhead because I've used it as a "handle" since before I ever got on the interwebs.

    My av changes regularly. The current one is from a military related webcomic. The artist makes different heads corresponding with the comic and allows people to use them.

    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.

    My automotive alterego and my name combined. Pontiac Can Am 1977, last of the big chassis, grandson of the GTO, a melding of business executive sport coupe with cop suspension with Trans Am 400 motor. I restored her and put her back on the road in 1996.

    Ok, my user name is cowgirl because I like to ride horses and live on a small family farm. SDM is my initials. My avatar has changed once so far. It used to be flip flops because I wear them when ever I can. It now is a teal rose because I liked the design.

    I was given the nickname manygunsmike by a past girlfriend because she said I had to "many" guns, I also collect Mosin Nagants . The Avatar was my old plate from a few years ago.

    A friend and I found the term "freedom fries" funny one day in a cafeteria in early 2003 when the US was planning to invade Iraq, so we started calling them "trader tators". I realize it should be traitor, but trader rolls off the tongue a little easier here in southern Indiana.

    My Avatar is one of the Grayman Knives logo's. Pretty BA looking, and damn good knives.
