    Part of my username is just a nickname a friend coined while out partying (Zed) and the 255 was the number I used to race motorcycle under. The avatar is a man running with scissors on a caution sign and playfully represents living dangerously.

      It told me to enter user name and my avatar is the awesome face, because I'm officially the most awesome person you'll probably never meet.
      Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

        Started using mrwho as a nickname when I began to fiddle with scream tracker back in 95 - nothing but noise, but still. If you don't know what I'm talking about, google it!

        As for the avatar, the current one is a lot of green rep points with a xmas theme (I know, it's march already, but it will be christmas again in 10 months).

            Well, xmas is 292 away, which divided by 30 gives something like 9.73 months, which is closer to 10 than to 9 months.

            BUT if we divide it by 31, it gives out 9.41, which is closer to 9 months than to 10.

            So let's call it a tie, shall we?

              Gratch is from one of my favorite series of books. The avatar was just something available until I found something else.

                Haha! Just giving you a hard time... although 10 months from today would be January 7.

                  Zackuth was the name of a D&D character I used to play (I no longer play the game, but I have always liked the name). I have no idea how I came up with that name, all I remember is wanting a name that began with "z". The avatar...everyone recognizes the Chicago Bears logo, right?

                    Pretty sure that avatar originated on 4chan\b\.

                      You're probably right. I've never been to that site myself. I saw the awesome face at some point while browsing some forum somewhere and decided to use it.

                      Pedobear is from 4chan too if I'm not mistaken. Somebody should use that as an avatar.

                        My avatar is a picture of a poster I bought in an antique store. I think it kind of connects to me. Nixon as the Zig Zag man. I also love the way Futurama does Nixon. My name came from me trying to find a user name for any sites I would visit, so I picked what I do.

                              Well, we Aussies are pretty simple when it comes to nicknames, so you can probably guess my surname is Jones. As for my avatar, I hope someone has recognized it as the Sepultura logo, not the new Sepultura, coz their singer is crap, but the good ol Seps with Max.
