What Inspires Your Avatar/Signature/Username?

[Dusk Raven]

Once upon a time, there was a thread called "what inspires your avatar/sig?", but then the Pavilion uploaded certain security software, creating a space-time vortex that swallowed up many PMs, rep points, posts, and even entire threads, including that avatar thread.

Now it is back, so, from where did you get your avatar, signature, username, or title?

Re: What Inspires Your Avatar/Signature/Username?

Username: one of countless usernames created when my friend and I were scamming AOL back in the mid 90's. Letters + numbers = hilarity.

Avatar: Devil Dog from The Gregory Horror Show

Signature: My own rendition of the Hyperblaster in MS paint, it's there to remind me that I should be working on SH cartoons.

Avatar: The only forum I used to post at made you earn your custom avatars. I won one in a forum contest and was constantly changing it. I finally found a set theme - Women with mustaches. As New Years Eve rolled around, I decided on a new gimmick. I was reading about Charles Darwin on Wikipedia, and I saw this image. I decided to make it a new gimmick. I shrunk it down and made it avatar size. However it has since stuck as being, in my eyes, a nice non-sequiter.

Name: I decided on this name for no particular reason. I just like it.

Signature: I never know what to put in signatures, so when I joined Last.fm it gave me the perfect image, I decided to use their chart system. I also tossed in a small Far Side comic and a link to my blog.

Mu username is based off of Pokemon. The reference is very obvious. Misty.....the Water Pokemon Gym Leader of Cerulean City (I actually used that as my sub-title when I first came to these forums.)

My avatar is a very lucky screenshot of a PS2 game Goemon, also known as Legend of the Mystical Ninja. It's a game we were going to get, but got cancelled for US Release. The girl is Ninja Woman Yae.

My signature is a random Anime pic from Photobucket--a Geisha girl. I've had a lot of different sigs before, but this one I've grown quite attached to.

Re: What Inspires Your Avatar/Signature/Username?

Some of this was copied from the "Newest Member" thread.....

Name-
Think in French

says-jeure-Ick

It's the "zjeur" part I am having trouble with. OOOH, I know, it sounds like the beginning of jeudi, or Thursday in French.

The story behind the name is.... I was extremely hyper one day with my older sister (I was also excited she was visiting from university) and we were giggling like nuts in her bedroom. We found some of those generic "HELLO MY NAME IS" stickers and so we decided to wear them with silly names. I wanted to make up a name, and I was laughing so hard, I was doubled over on the floor. The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a bottle of Iron Pills that I had knocked over. It said they "may cause seizures" and I went from there.

My dad knocks on the door, pokes his head in, and says, in his Newfie accent, "What in the hell are you girls doing? Lord tunderin' Jesus..."

My Avatar- I was a sickenly HUGE Simpson's Fan when I was younger. I once was in a competition in my highschool for a week, Battle of the Sexes, and I wooped ass in the Simpson's trivia.

I have no signature as of yet

Re: What Inspires Your Avatar/Signature/Username?

Smurtle was a random name before I even heard of Squirtles and Pokemans. It doesn't mean a thing.

The King of All Cosmos is my lord and saviour, and I hope to one day vomit rainbows.

My signature should be music I've been listening to.

Re: What Inspires Your Avatar/Signature/Username?

Sig: A period.

Re: What Inspires Your Avatar/Signature/Username?

Name: Invented in math class by my buddy and I as a new way to **** of the teacher. We were supposed to write out the solution to a problem on an overhead sheet. Instead we drew this character. He has such powerful moves as the Median Masher, Parallel Plunge, Side Angle Side, etc; Yes, it was geometry. Eventually I stopped writing my name on assignments and simply inserted the logo on his chest.




Avatar: Logo of a band I really like. Very simple.

Signature: I'm an attention whore, honestly.

Re: What Inspires Your Avatar/Signature/Username?

Name: Naming yourself <blank>knight was awesome back in the day...right? Maybe that was a Long Island thing. Anywhere I got the internet right around the time the Dreamcast came out and I was planning on picking it up and there you go (ps, I didn't get a Dreamcast til like 2004).

Avatar: Keanu <3

Sig: I don't think I have one, they're kinda invasive, in my opinion.

Re: What Inspires Your Avatar/Signature/Username?

Username: I was on a lot of cold medicine and gamefaqs asked me for a name other than Gameboy1988 and somehow I got Altoecko. I don't remember how though.

Signature: One of my favorite paintings of all time.

Avatar: A friend made this for me after he read a poem of mine. I also have a button of the avatar that I keep in a drawer in my room.

Re: What Inspires Your Avatar/Signature/Username?

Name: Made it up here when I changed it from a semi-dumb one to this. I've stuck with it ever since.

Avatar: Vergil from DMC3. I change my avatar every so often, this is my current one. I dunno why I decided on this image, I feel it suits me.

Sig: Just randomosity I made up. It's probably stupid to otehrs, but it will suffice until I get out of my lazy chair and come up with something better.

Re: What Inspires Your Avatar/Signature/Username?

Yay! This topic again!

Name: My favorite bunny in Watership Down

Avatar and Signature: Somebody was making up some fantasy, so I said I raised and sold unicorn to keep up my crystal castle. Then I started telling people on World of Warcraft that I raise unicorns. So it's a very inside joke, and I am the only one in on it.
