Reasons why you....

[EastLondonYid]

What made you choose your username and avatar? there are some obvious ones out there, but it would be nice to know the story behind some that are unusual.

I am ELY, although i was brought up in N18, i moved out to Gants Hill, eastlondonish...:shrug:

My avatar...Graham Roberts, i absolutely loved.He was as brave as a Lion, and hard as nails (his autobiography)...proper mental.

 

[BillyWhizz]

Nickname given to me at my first club Hyde Rovers U8's because I was fast and sometimes read the Beano on the coach!
I did laugh to myself once I was older and started to realise the alternative meanings :grin:

Good thread, nice to be distracted from the crappy week!

 

[kishman]

My nickname is Kish. I'm a man. And 2+2=4.

Reason why Naybet is in my avatar?
-Naybet was my inspiration when I was playing so well as a CB back in 04/05.
- And I believe, it was playing alongside Naybet that we started to see King's superiority in defending.

 

[Spurrific]

My name came to me in a dream, woke up covered in semen (hopefully my own)
I just change my avatar depending on what TV show Im watching at the time.

 

[GoldstarYid]

My name was a random one i used to hide my real identity from what it was on other forums.

 

[Spurger King]

I was having a bad pun day when I joined. Mind you, every day is a bad pun day for me.

I wanted it to be Spurtacus, but apparently I was beaten to it by about 12,000 people.

Why a Jawa avatar? Well I've never met a Jawa I didn't like. Plus they're essentially cool space ninjas that steal robots.

 

[spursgirls]

There was a thread about this a while back, but I thought we sing 'We are the Tottenham Boys', and I'm female, so came up with Spursgirls as a poor female equivalent!
The Avatar was from when they were promoting Tottenham, the area, and I rather liked the picture!

 

[karsten_finkle]

well, seeing as my username is pretty random, i guess this is a good thread for me. and it's just that... random - came as a mixture of things...

I play golf and like ping clubs - karsten is the first name of the guy who founded the company and it's kinda cool too

finkle - that's a mixture from the film barton fink and de niro's charachter in taxi driver (travis bickle) - 2 great films

and the ramones avatar should speak for itself - awesome band

 

[ethanedwards]

My name is taken from a film character.
My avatar is a pic of me in a trtiathlon.

 

[Azazello]

My name's a demon assassin from Bulgakov's 'Master and Margarita', one of the greatest books ever written imho.

My avatar is Hector, from 'Hector's House'.

 

[AW?]

I did mine in a hurry and didn't really give it any thought at all. Stone Roses because I liked them and I can't be bothered to change it.

 

[Dare!]

Title of the Human League's first album after they got the two girls in. Kinda ties in with 'To Dare is To Do' as well I thought.

 

[StartingPrice]

My first two initials are S and P.
I was something of a bookies-monsta when I was younger.
One day I went into work and went to clock-in (remember them, folks :grin, and some wit had crossed my names out and written StartingPrice in. It became a work nickname - as opposed to my street moniker.

Crafty Coyote - well, ain't that self-explanatory :shrug:

 

[nailsy]

I'm Nailsy because that's been my nickname since school.

Why Chewie? Because I'm not cool enough to be Han Solo.

 

[StartingPrice]

I'm Nailsy because that's been my nickname since school.

Why Chewie? Because I'm not cool enough to be Han Solo.

I always thought that was a euphemism...don't know how Star Wars got away with it :wink:

 

[mil1lion]

My username was actually from a game of Dingbats I played many years ago. It's one in a million.

The Avatar is Inna because she's fit.

 

[Teemu]

I am Teemu Tainio.

 

[StartingPrice]

I am Teemu Tainio.
