OT - Explain Your Avatar and User Name
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.

and what is/was/will be 'vinegar strokes'?
Do you really want know? I don't think you do.
When tossing off, the vinegar strokes are said to be those which take place just prior to ejaculation, resulting in a look on your face you would have if you caught a big whiff of vinegar.
serious?
All referenced in the TV show: The League.

Username: a mix of Primus songs
and did you draw that yourself?
The Boognish is a Demon God. No I did not draw it myself.
I'm going to be listening to Ween all night now. Which is a good thing.
I carefully chose my avatar
I can't explain it.
Amphibious1 because I was in the Marines. My avatar is from a time when we had an influx of dredlocked Wolverines who systematically destroyed people.
My name is Brad, and my mind is blank, so no avatar

You may have these guys snowballed, but I know the truth! The blank avatar is the visual representation of the endless possibilities of reinforced concrete. :)

@Gil From Omaha - same here. I went to Omaha North High.
and what is 'MAccLA', guessing something having to do with the LA dodgers....
See above it's Charles Drake, who is from Westchester High in LA and played S for Michigan (98-02). He was my best friend at Michigan and passed away in 2012.

Isn't Everybody Murders a combo of what Terrelle Prior said and Eraserhead?
Cuz we are Michigan's fans, and I see this as our main role: cheering the team on.
...
We cheer them again
We cheer and cheer again
For Michigan, we cheer for Michigan
We cheer with might and main
We cheer, cheer, cheer
With might and main we cheer!
No avatar because I'm lazy.
Username comes from when we played NW and they wore those military appreciation uniforms that had things like "Freedom" and "Sacrifice" or whatever as the name plates. Someone in the chat mentioned a guy on their team's first name was Chance and someone else responded "Chance Freedom" which I thought was quite a nice username
I live in the UP

love the UP, proudly claim my yooper roots, oldest two kids were born there.
Why'd ya leave, XtraMelanin?
and mgowife asked if we could move back to socal to take care of them. they beat cancer and heart trouble, respectively, and we were paroled (my words) back to northern michigan 3 yrs to the day from when we went out there. i thought i was never going to get back home.
That's tough, but sounds like it turned out well.
so well that we got them to move here last year.
I hope that works out. The thought of my inlaws living close to me makes my soul shiver. They are dead, but an hour away was close enough. 5 minutes would have been an end to sanity.

2800 miles away (if they hadn't moved) when they start to not be able to take care of themselves makes my soul shiver. i lobbied them to move for years. if necessary we will move them into the house. it is the duty and honor of our generation to take care of them.
User name: I formally joined the blog around the time when I was finishing my MAcc at Ross and moving to LA...
Avatar: Charles Drake was one of my best friends at Michigan and from LA. The avatar is in his memory. RIP Chuck.

and where does 'the ball finds energy' come from?
I think that I heard Harbaugh say that in an interview about who was getting the ball more.

FA stands for field artillery. Wolverine because I love the maize and blue.
I picked that helmet as my avatar because I think it's sick looking. GO BLUE!

I live in and jog through the backdunes of Lake Michigan.
I'm old. My wife is not so old. Used to have actual pic of wife which used to cause much consternation, gnashing of teeth and garment rendering among some posters till the Internet naughty bit police swooped in.
I'm So as a protest to both the Internet naughty bit police AND my fellow posters who used to bitch about her pic I put up this one.
Your avatar is still a little risque.
Your avatar is just another example of society setting unreasonable expectations on women to have triangle bodies.
....and perfectly round heads!

original avatar (the one that looked like an East German Judge)? Who was he and what did you do with him?
You don't look that old in a pic you posted of yourself. With Tressel, iirc.
Also, for readers who are curious and non-observant, you can link to mgrowold's wife's website on his tagline, should you wish to see his former avatar.
FTR, I was never one of the one's with shorts in a wad over your avatar. There were a couple of avatar's that pushed the envelope, but not yours. And I never complained about any.
I also have had some complaints about my avatar. But I haven't changed it.
Here's the story, but you can't tell anyone, or I'll have to kill you.
My REAL name is James Bond. I'm British, but went to UofM as part of my cover story. StephenRKass is an alias I use so no one will even suspect who I really am.
My avatar is one of my former girlfriends. Her name is Moneypenny. This photo was taken while she was at the Woodstock music festival.
great picture, honoring your bride.
and mgrowold above you is another well-known and also a humorous story.
I live in Kalamazoo, HARBAUGH
