What does your avatar and name mean?

Well, my name was honestly just pulled out of my butt, literally. I joined the website becuase I used it for about 7 months and always wanted to post, but never did. So one day I said screw it and threw together ElDorito. My avatar is Venom, who is by far the coolest supervillian ever (at least in Marvel...) It flashes nice thanks to Oni! thanks again.. Curious what yours means...

Ok well my name kinda came from a couple things, i play alot of fps games (first person shooter) and the material they make bullet proof vests out of is kevlar, and i used to race mountainbikes pro for about 2 years, and they make alot of bike parts out of kevlar and i just like saying that word, it sounds almost alien... kev... LARRRRRR.... or kevvvvLARRRR say it a couple times, maybe twice like a pirate... ARR KEV LAR DEE DARRRR anyways you get the picture, and when i signed up for aol in 1986 freakin kevlar was taken, so i added 3d to the end of it... why? well why the crap not. so thats the method to the madness. now you know my secret. oh yeh and i change the avatar all the time so if you read this next week any explanation will be null and void.

(offense intended for aol users) ;-)

That's a great question! I'm not sure what I am.Confused

I was born in Nigeria. My parents are both US citizens, however. My mother immigrated from the Netherlands to the US in '69(but is 1/2 German), my dad is a third generation Dutch immigrant.

I've lived in 3 states in the US(15 years), Nigeria(6 years), The Netherlands(1 year), Canada(8 months), Guatemala(5 months), Honduras(4 months).

At sometime in my life I've been fluent in 6 languages, although through lack of use English has become my primary.

So what does that make me!?! One screwed up kid, culturally?Smilie

My name is actually part of my one cat's first and middle name raymond zachary. Why did my cat have a first and middle name? I could not decide which name I liked better and I knew I did not want two cats so he got both.

The 99 was because that was the year I created my email account with MSN and rayzac was taken.

If you do not know what my avatar is, you lead a sheltered life.

Wow, that's pretty good. 6 languages... sweet!

I speak 2 fluently and sort of bounce back and forth between two cultures which is nice sometimes to be able to get away from one... Smilie

It's either best of both world or worst of both worlds... or somewhere in the middle.

I was just curious because your name is certainly Dutch. And for me it was kinda strange to see somebody here with a Dutch name (I am from the Netherlands in case you don't know).

Mine is also a bore...first name, combo of birthdates for the number.

I chose Bunsen for my avatar because 1) he's green, and green people are always cool 2) he was always my favorite muppet because he had no eyes, and because he tortured Beeker constantly 3) I'm a sucker for a man in a lab coat. drool

robotZER0...

Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of favorite anime series/movies. The first time I watched it, there was this Evangelion named Eva Unit Zero (Eva 00). I liked the name, but I decided it was too long to use, so I compressed it to robotZER0 (the last letter is the alphanumeric zero). Sidenote: Evas are not robots, though many (including myself) thought they were when watching the beginning of the series.

My current avatar is Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. It's my second avatar. I like this one because it looks pretty cool and stylish. My first avatar was Eva-01 in berserker mode... but many people didn't find it so attractive (it scared quite a few people) so I changed it.

My name is just the name I used when we played LAN games at work....ahhh Delta Force and sniping fools from 800+ yards. But I had to use some numbers so I wouldn't get blocked or offend.

The avatar is from the cover of a Sick of it All cd name "Call To Arms".

Mine came from my cat's name, Raymond Zachory. I could not choose which one I liked better so he got both names, and when I signed up on AOL I choose rayzac. The 99 was the year.

Well, if I remember Homer's Illiad and Odossey correctly, Cycnus was a soldier who's skin was unpiercable. He was killed by Achilles by strangulation. My avatar is from the little known video game Doom2. It is a chaingunner demon.
