      being mayor doesn't give you the right to have an avatar that makes me feel sick.

      Just won the 'Who is Least Competitive Championships' where trying to win will make you lose. Trying to lose makes you win which makes you lose. Not trying at all makes you lose which makes you win which makes you lose.

        Boo was my wife's cat.
        Fred was my cat.
        Lay is my last name.

        I use it because it was the first email account I ever created for my family. It stuck and has followed me everywhere.

        My avatar is usually changing all the time. Recently they have been from Dmitry Maksimov, you can see his work here:

                      Frederik - is my second "first name"...
                      I chose Frederik because I know in many countries Kim is often a female name (although it's also used as a male name in the same countries) and to avoid any confusions (misunderstandings), I decided to use Frederik... ๐Ÿ˜„

                      Cheers

                          my nickname is, you guessed, my given name. not a lot of creativity there...

                          as for my avatar, it is a good picture of me taken by a student during a lecture. that is, good compared to the horrible results one gets when posing for a photograph.

                            Well Dale is my first name. Although it can be male or female, in this case "it's a boy"
                            The avatar is a photo of a painted wood carving I did taken from a photo in front of my house. It's a raven on the cliffs edge with a small pocket cruise ship on the water below.

                            Just monkeying around....like Monsanto

                                      I actually got more than a thumb that went numb when I was suffering from repetitive strain injury, which stopped me from using my PC for a while.
                                      At least it makes a perfect rhyme.
                                      Not sure if I could find one for low back pain ๐Ÿ˜†
                                      As for the avatar: I found it on the Explodingdog site http://www.explodingdog.com/
                                      ( hope itยดs not copyrighted ). That funny character having hard time over some impossible shape seemed quite OK.

                                      Comfortably numb...

                                          My anickname [to use its old-English form as 'other-name'] is my initials T+I+G .
                                          I was called that from ~5 at junior school - someone older than me had the same first-name [out of 7 pupils ! what's the chance !!]
                                          Later, I kept it up and signed all my manual-drawings and letters with my initials - so it stuck...
                                          Also near to where I was born the local Army Regiment [of my grandfather] and the Rugby Football team were/are the Tigers; and of course tigers are strong/fierce/powerful/potent etc etc... [or cute/funny if 'tigger'...] - it has little 'downside' except for becoming extinct !!!
                                          I prefer it to my 'real name' - which is a bit 'naff' - BUT my mum [see 'Brief Encounter' lead for a clue...] and close family would still use my original name - as would one of my old-fashioned bosses years ago who wouldn't allow nicknames... I'll answer to almost anything...
