Simply because Ninja-Pirates are the best thing that has or will ever been/be. Except Cheese, obviously.
Chris is pretty much the definition of ninja-pirate, and I love Weebl's Stuff, particularly the ninjitsu mushroom marauder-of-the-seas from Weebl & Bob. Ergo, he became my avatar for everything. As for the name, well, Cheesus is the lord of my religion and 3 is my favourite number, so I typed it three times. It's nothing to do with me being half of Satan, so don't even bother.

Hrafnsmerki means Raven banner, in ancient norse, a viking war-banner. The avatar is from an image of Odin (Wotan, Woden), it's Huggin, one of Odins' ravens, flying with Sleipnir, Freki and Geri.

The story behind my avatar is that Iggy Pop and Tom Waits meet for Coffee and Cigarettes 'Somewhere in California', and Iggy Pop seems quite eager to please Tom Waits, and there is awkward conversation. They leave.

Jim Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes. Thinking of changing it to another still from that film, from the section featuring the White Stripes called 'Jack shows Meg his Tesla Coil'. But for some reason print screen doesn't seem to work on the KM player.

*EDIT* thought I better check that the Tom and Iggy was still my avatar, and disco. But, I think I will change it. So a new story soon.

The story behind my avatar is a simple one. I was looking for a picture of my missing cow.
Let me know if you find it.

I saw it in the ones the escapist provides and said 'Cool'

We've been together ever since.

Some have tried to un-pixellate it... one has even changed its color...

But in the end i can never bring myself to change it.
Why would they change the color? The purple is nice...
Well to hell with you all, a good friend of mine shifted the red down, now i am Officially blue.

Holy crap Ultra Joe you have kids.
I did notice his use of the Ultracaps, but thought '*meh*, its a free world.' I have no more right to them than him.

Besides, I Do It Better.

LewsTherin. You might know him as Lews Therin Telamon, the Dragon, from a absoludicrously great series of novels called The Wheel of Time, my favourite books EVAAAR.

If you don't know my avatar there is a panther waiting in your bathroom to eviscerate you.

Well the avatar is just a picture of me I had lying around. Taken about a year ago with two of my best girlfriends who put a flower in my hair. While looking desperately for a decent avatar in my pictures folder, I came across this one, and got a little nostalgic. I'm hanging out with one of those two again right now, there were a few 'issues' that withered the friendship somewhat.

As for the name, my best girlfriend misspelled the word 'toch' which in Dutch means something along the lines of 'yet'. She spelled it as 'tocj', sitting next to her I asked 'tocj eh?'. She said yeah, not wishing to acknowledge her mistake, that's your new name. And the name was born.

Onyx is a black gemstone that I think is really cool. And Oblivion is my favorite game.
And my avatar is the ps1 game SaGa Frontier, because it is the most underrated RPG ever. Shame the rest of the series after 2 sucks. 7 characters, each with seperate storylines that weave and interconnect.

Pedro Steckecilo is a nickname I acquired in Highschool that has exploded into a personal project of epic proportions.

The picture was drawn by Alina Pete (www.weregeek.com) in reference to some madness I pulled at a convention in august. It also depicts my amusing Steampunk Costume pretty well.

My name is the boring random initial+numbers e-mail that everyone at my school has.

My picture... sadly, I play the bass (not the guitar), but this is a Stratocaster covered in, I kid ye not, white gold leaf. I'm not sure why, but someone did it, it's for sale on Musician's Friend, and it has entranced me ever since. If someone covered a bass in white gold leaf, I'd be all over that sucker.
