OT - Explain Your Avatar and User Name

Submitted by xtramelanin on

Mates,

Over the years snippets come out on various mgobloggers about their avatars - like MGrowOld, for instance, has a picture of his wife, and LSA2000 explained the 'naughty dentist' line in his avatar.  And while of course some of them are pretty straight forward, nevertheless, for many, the who/what/why of your avatar and user name are unknown.

I searched the archives and found nothing on point, so the question/issue is this:  Explain your avatar/picture and username - why that picture, those numbers or lettters or whatever else that designates your mgoblog presence. 

CAVEAT:  if 'Everybody Murders' is thinking about explaining, you might want to read some things on self-incrimination, the fifth amendment, and the fact that most jurisdictions have no statute of limitations on murder.  Just in case, you know, yours is true.   

Happy Easter/Holiday Weekend and Go Blue for our hockey team in about 15 minutes.

My user name is Borninannarbor because I was born in Ann Arbor 40 years ago. My avatar is a monkey holding a football because I like football and monkeys. I think the monkey is looking around to make sure no one is going to take the football from him. My brother thinks that the monkey likes the football a little too much.

It was my code name in the assasins game I played at college.   My avatar is spongebob humping a twerking woman in front of a class of elementary school kids.  I have it because it is so freaking unbelievable but yet it happened.  It's not a photoshop.

Don't have an avatar but I made my name after Harbaugh was signed. I'm 31 years old and have been a fan since I can remember, I grew up with Michigan winning all the losing as of late had me hating life.

Of some hot waitresses that were Michigan fans and wanted a picture with me but a. bunch of posters were calling me a Walmart wolverine fan, so I put my M license plate as my profile!

I am a plumber.
That is a suit I bought from Loudmouthgolf.com along with a top hat I had made. The pic was from the Penn State night game. I do not wear that every game.

I like palindromes.  Get it? "DrAwkward" is the same backwards or forwards.

Plus, I have a UM doctorate and I have some deficiencies in the social graces department.

The avatar is just a lame picture of a wolverine.

Mgoblu8 is the only available license plate combination that I could come up with that incorporated Michigan and my favorite number. My avatar is an alligator that I killed on the tailgate of my truck.

Not sure I even need to mention it. They're both me. FWIW my avatar is a bit harsh and has occasionally gotten negative feedback (I'm just looking at the camera in my office) but at this point it's easy to recognize and I haven't yet bothered to change it.

obvious with coaches's names. Avatar is UM ball by a fictitious NC trophy used as a Halloween prop by my son; fictitious since I made it. I will substitute the real pic when Harbaugh wins it.

I am father fisch, the name given to me by my daughter's soccer teammates (my last name is Fischer). It was remarkably easy to find a priest-like fish on Google!

i'm sure you'll be polite, but later on you'll say, 'that's it?  that's all there is?' 

incidentally rob f, you never anted up either - though i'm pretty sure the name is your name and the picture is one of your favorites, and you are one of the grey hairs around here, like me thus the older pic.
