As for my avatar, it's from one of the funniest tv shows that ever was.

Monty Python?

Ark, i was wondering about your avatar. I thought it must be a Chris Cunningham thing. Creepy.

I've had this avatar the longest. A friend found it for me when i became a postman a couple of years ago...

dieseldogpi:
Figured I'd chime in.  The screen name is from my dog, Felix, he's an english mastiff and weighs about 200lbs, some friends have called him diesel dog on occasion. The pi comes from the fact that I used to work as a private investigator for a short time before I was a CPA.  The avatar comes from the fact that I am now a CPA. 

Oh and Atomsmasher...big fan of your avatar, crack up every time I see it.  Miss that show.

DashRendar:
My avatar is a picture of Dash Rendar, a character from the Star Wars expanded universe (ie, from the books and games, not movies).


--- Quote ---Dash Rendar was a Corellian smuggler and freelancer. He was an ace Imperial pilot of the Imperial Academy until the Rendar family was banished from the galaxy by Emperor Palpatine due to a freighter accident. Captain of the Outrider, Rendar eventually joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Battle of Hoth. He would assist the Alliance in deposing Black Sun, acting as Luke Skywalker's bodyguard and a spy, until his apparent "death" during the Battle of Falleen's Fist.

So he was a non-mainstream Han Solo-type character.  In the books, he played a big part in a lot of key struggles against the Empire.

I chose the name a little over 10 years ago, when I was working in a modding community of the Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance game.  (I created 3D models of almost all of the smuggler ships and had them available for download to be flown in X-Wing Alliance).  All of the main characters were already taken, so my identity on our forums, internet play, etc was Dash Rendar.

I think my avatar is from a Star Wars card set that had each of the characters.

RobbyMac:
It's Howard the Duck... from the comic (No NOT the movie) back in the day.
Twas my first online handle back in the days of 300 baud acoustic modems and BBS's.

I look almost exactly like himm except I don't have a bill, I don't wear a hat or white golves, I don't have a blue suit (and when I do I wear pants with it) and I'm alot taller.

Ummon:

Not to mention we dont want a continuous supply of kittens. The economy is a bit too tight to be able to sell too many of them. It is nice to have them around the house though. Fun to watch them play.
