My screen name was given to me by the only Chem commissioned officer I ever had in 16 years as an NBC NCO in an artillery battalion (the few other officers I had over me were Artillery commissioned 2Lts they didn't have a slot for at the time).  The avatar is Frank Frazettas "Death Dealer" and I've been a fan of Frazetta paintings for years.

What Rob said. The avatar is our dog, Dixie. The pictue makes her look like she's got a big grin on her face.

Um, yesBlush [:I]Thanks for your reply to my PM.  I feel a little silly now,and should have figured it's a name run together.  But I was a little punchy at the time. By the way dixie's real cute.

Of course The death dealer, who doesn't love Frazetta?.

My screenname comes from my time with a LRS unit when I was often assigned as the "stickpusher" (last man out the door) on jumps. The avatar is from the "Private Murphy's Law" series of comics of a jumper exiting. I just loved that image.

My screenname is just the fact that I like my British heritage and I wanted my name in there smoewhere.  Tempestjohnny    noone calls me Johnny anymore though.  My avatar is the Union Jack again for my British Heritage.  I was born in England but raised in the US.  Father is English, mother is Syrian.  Beat that combo.

I chose "subfixer" because I fix submarines (aircraft carriers, too) nuclear reactors. Well, I used to do the actual fixing, now I just watch and make sure the other guys do it without causing a radioactive mess. It's a living.  

My avatar is of the USS Greenville in Drydock 1 at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard.

My screenname is my first and last name initals, mg, then comes my name Michael in Swedish, mikael. Hence you get mg.mikael. No, I'm not Swedish, but because everyone loves them....Whistling [:-^]especially the women. That's why I chose to go with that language.

As for my avatar, you wouldn't believe how many people ask me if she comes in full scale. LOLBig Smile [:D]  My avatar is of the character Cameron Phillips, a terminator from the TV series Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Cameron Phillips is played by the very, very talented actress (my favorite), Bow [bow]Summer Glau.Bow [bow] She also had the role of River Tam in Firefly (a tv series) and the movie Serenity, for those wondering.

Boba Fett, my favorite character from Star Wars (of which I am a HUGE nerd by the way) is just about my screename for every video game I play. Now online is a different story, as it is always taken (I was shocked when I got it here!). I use a bunch of different screen names on online stuff but I have one favorite, for Runescape, I have TheDoog7! A small homage to the great Doog! (right now, I'm only lvl 22...Sad [:(] I'm working on it Doog!)

My screen name is pretty obvious as is the avatar. I spent almost 12 years in the USAF and worked on several different airframes on the flightline. C-130's, KC-135's, A-10's and F-4G's mostly.  Of all the birds I turned wrenches and crewed on, the Wild Weasel was my favorite with the A-10 running a close second.  Hence the name and avatar...

 Navy/Marine medic is called a corpsman. The Marines have many names for us, but when they need you they scream out Corpsman! My avatar is the Caduces, the winged staff with serpents.

TailspinTom comes from the name that the line man, who worked the flight line on the small airport that I lived on as a kid, gave me.  My current avatar is me sitting in a Piper Cub back in 1955.  My avatars, that I change from time to time, reflect my association with aviation or my time in the USAF.

Mine is from my days playing mechwarrior 3 multiplayer on gamespy arcade about 8 years ago. I started using a mech called "Puma". In the fluff story of the Battletech universe, the puma is one of two names this mech has, the other is "Adder". hence the name, Puma_Adder. the underscore is just becaus the program wouldent let me have any spaces.
Some people spend their whole lives wondering if they made a difference. Gundams don't have that problem.

Contrary to popular (or not so popular) belief, my name isn't really Max Sheridan. That is, in fact, my "porn name".Big Smile [:D] My name is actually Mark. I got the"formula" for my "porn name" from my favorite morning radio show....Bob & Brian- 102.9Milwaukee. Quite a few years ago, they came up with the simple but ingenius formula: porn name= first name--the name of your first pet that was the same sex as you + last name-- the name of the first named street you lived on. In my case--- Max the mutt + Sheridan Rd. = MaxSheridan

Try it for yourself, it can yield some funny results......especially for women!Big Smile [:D]

My avatar, I try to change it up once in a while, the latest is a sign I found online showing how government thinks we're all idiots. Come on, "road is wet when raining"!? DUH!Big Smile [:D] What a waste of taxpayer dollars!Big Smile [:D]

My screen name is my call sign in flight sims I play. plus the year I was born. I was born on Fairchild AFB in 1977 and at that time it was a bomber base, B-52's. I fell in love with the big b#$*%d the first time I saw it so... For my Avatar once I finally figured out how to get it on there is a B-52 making a low pass on a carrier( The Nimitz I think it said it was.) I found on line. What you can't see is his wingman on the other side of the carrier even lower.
Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs always hit the ground.

My screen name comes from my vocation...I'm a United Methodist pastor. After the birth of Methodism in the 1700's, because of a lack of pastors, most preachers served more than one church. They would preach at one church then ride to another and preach there. The churches they served were know as a "circuit"...hence the name "circuit rider".

My avatar reflects my love of Winchester firearms.

My screen name. I was in a very bad mood one day years ago and kept snapping at my wife any time she tried to talk to me. She said I need to quit being such an ogre. I thought it was funny as no one hardly uses the word ogre for anything. It's what she still calls me from time to time. As for my avatar,
