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...

the avatar is jason fox from "fox trot"..my all-time favorite comic strip
My avatar doesn't really mean anything. I just thought it was kinda funny looking.
BTW, it's okay to bring back old topics, right? I figure that's why the lounge index is there.
Name: I'm a consumer, and I talk (started with the name @ epinions, kept it)
My avatar is a picture of the aforementioned nebula in the middle, and ngc1973 above and the star Nair al Saif below.
Part of it, though, is kind of strange. It's from the movie Seven, which has lots of Pandora's Box themes in it. In the end, Morgan Freeman's character says:
"Hemingway once said, the world is a great place, and worth saving. I think he's half right."
To me... that's what I believe in (the second part of that quote). I think the world's full of a lot of evil and unpleasantness, but worth saving, so I consider myself a hopeful cynic... and the name stuck as my online handle for a lot of things since then.
The X is just my middle initial.

it's just the beginning letters from a phrase in a book I read back during my separation and divorce from my wife. During the times that were the hardest and when I started thinking I would be better off dead, I would repeat that phrase over and over to myself:
I Am Alive And I Will Survive
It kept me sane and got me through some pretty dark times in my life. So it still lives on.

I think Morgan Freeman is an incredibly strong actor, but that movie was disturbing and the plot was disjointed.
Speaking of disturbing... korean movie called "Old Boy" (won at the Cannes film festival this year, I think)... very disturbing... and one of the best I've seen in a while.

I, personally, thought the movie was sublimely great.
