          I have a soft spot for the classic British cars from the 50's and 60's. I had a Mk2 Jaguars for years but someone had already claimed that, so looking around the room for inspiration my eyes lighted on a very nice print of a Lagonda above my desk. Shame I'm never likely to be able to afford an Aston Martin in this job.

              My user name is my favourite colour green back wards (all the kids are doing it these days) with ish put on the end for style. My avatar is pic of a balled up cleaning cloth embed with toner just like mum used to make.

                  Shadow was something I used to as a handle WAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaayyyyyyy..... back when there was no internet and you had to dial directly into individual BBS's. The name is taken now most everywhere, so start adding numbers... But Shadow1 or OneShadow is also ended up being a reference to a Dr. Who episode. (By accident, but I'm still a big fan, and its one of my favorite episodes.)

                  The Avatar should be pretty easy to understand if you work for Ricoh - or should I say Ikon? For anybody who's been under a rock for the last 2 years, Ikon had pulled the handle, the water was circling, and the 'ol porcelain throne was tuning up to make a really satisfying wooshing sound when Ricoh stepped in and fished them out of the bowl. Apparently some total f***ing idiot was so impressed with the sheer amount of tenacity it took to keep pulling the lever when Ikon didn't succeed in self-flushing on the first attempt that they felt it would be good to give them the opportunity to teach everyone at Ricoh the same trick.

                  On that note, I've been looking for something with the same cartoon guy banging his head a few times, pounding his thumb with a hammer, tripping over a cat, shooting himself in the foot, dropping an anvil on his head,stepping in front of a train, then jumping off a cliff, before he finally detonates a nuclear warhead on himself. Any animators out there?

                    Does your B-17 group have a website?

                        ...and here I thought I was stupid for not being able to figure it out.
                        Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

                          Akitu is a nick I sometimes use while gaming, and I felt it would be more appropriate than my other one that I use more commonly.

                          The avatar is something I actually made in photoshop, nothing more, nothing less.
