Off Topic: What’s in your screen name and avatar???

[LDS714]

LDS714

I used to play bass for a band called The Sinners. The singer would introduce me as "the Low Down Sinner on bass." Over the years that's been shortened to LDS.

The 714 is my race license (number) with the Western Eastern Roadracing Assocationi (WERA).

My current avatar is me exiting turn 2 at Nashville Superspeedway several years ago when I was still in the Novice class.

My screen name is my real name & my avatar is Kiki, one of my 7 Maine Coons

Unlike my other Maine Coons, Kiki is really shy with other people, so no one hardly ever sees her apart from me. Which is such a shame as she is so beautiful (& so sweet natured). Hence why I chose her pic as my avatar

MARINEboy21 because my dad was a first battalion marine in the Vietnam war and because of that I respect that decision he made. And my profile is a Skyline R-35 because I am an import boy at heart and any sort of Skyline would be my dream car. Especially one with a Nismo kit on it. Great thread and topic by the way.

My father is a Vietnam vet too! USMC Alpha company 133rd, M-60 machine gunner 1967 - 1968! (not to mention the best father, grandfather, retired 40 year decorated police officer and friend!) It's an absolute shame what happened to our fathers after surviving the war only to land stateside to be spit on and called baby-killers. I'm so glad that years later they are finally getting the respect they deserved all along.

im a fan of the stand-up comic Gabriel Iglesias, since im a "fluffy" guy i use that and the "beast" part... well im not sure where it came from but it was catchy and now i use that most of the time.
my avatar is just me with my Vanilla mod with the Nimbus atty and a Chaplin driptip

Fluffy!!! LOVE that guy. To quote Emma Stone in Zombieland, that guy has a direct line to my funny bone.

[Ruby_Red_Shoes]

Ruby Red Shoes - First, cuz it's my birthstone - Second, cuz I'm a shoe fanatic and Third, cuz we 'aint in Kansas anymore Toto!' - Chose a new avatar picture of the aurora borealis - love the ethereal quality of the photo - something very peaceful and serene which there never seems to be enough of...sigh....

 

[Hoosier]

Handle is because I was born in Indiana and currently reside in Indiana...(pretty boring)

Avatar is a picture of me in the same outfit I would be in when I proposed to my wife a few weeks after the picture was taken. I'm supposed to look like Little John from Mel Brooks' "Robin Hood Men In Tights". The proposal came just after we finished a skit on stage so she was dressed as Maid Marion. (Friends and family rounded out the cast as we had Rabbi Tuckman, Robin Hood, Will Scarlet O-Hara, Blinken, Latrine, and Achoo.)

Because it was on a stage in front of quite a number of people, we're forever a file floating around You Tube...
Skit: Gen Con 2010: Costume Contest Men In Tights. - YouTube
Proposal: Gen Con: Marriage Proposal. - YouTube (Yes, I had trouble finding the ring)

 

[Stosh]

My name is just a nickname for me. The pic is because when the going gets tough, "it's time to use a little strategy" just seemed to fit vaping. And the look fit so well with my signature...

Username is a name I have used for all online accounts since the late 90's Including games and forums. It was an inside joke between me and an old Platoon SGT I had in the Marines.

Pic is me with a beard in Baghdad. I'll probably never get to have a beard again, so I relish that time any chance I get.

[Notorious C.I.G.]

no·to·ri·ous
nəˈtôrēəs,nō
adjective
1.famous or well known, typically for some bad quality or deed

Cigs are notorious by definition, so a combination of Notorious B.I.G. and "cig", which share letters, seemed natural, sorta goes without explaining

 

[WalterWhite]

You know. You all know exactly who I am.

Now, say my name...

That's right.

As for the avatar, well...



For those of you who haven't a clue as to what I am talking about--please do yourself a favor and watch the show.
