:cool: I knew I recognized that avatar! IDK why I didn't know it was FP. Dude's definitely a pimp. And a fuzz bass thumpin' motherfucker.

My user name is a shortened version of Blue Ghost Factory. It's a name I decided to put out my home made music under several years ago. And my avatar is me in a ghost mask,taken from a cell phone cam, with the "Negative" setting. I was standing in front of a mirror in my dad's bathroom.
Bloo Ghost has since become a character in my ongoing series of concept albums. Inter-dimensional traveler, demon slayer,and stoned, bedroom-confined guitarist. Definitely art imitating life :lol:

My name also has a WoW backstory. I was raiding a few years ago, and someone said "time to get your game face on." Only it got garbled a little, so I heard "get your grr face on." I made a comment about it, hilarity ensued, the rest is history.

My avatar comes from the always hysterical buttersafe comics:

I'm a big guy and I play bass, boar had a better ring to it then bear, so it's boar, I may change it to Bassbear, but I don't know how. My avatar was stolen from the DC forum because it looks exactly like me.

User Name: Signing up for ILF, first forum of any kind ever, and struggling with a name. My niece and her friend were over running around sceaming, "Holy Schnikes, get off the computer!". Thought it was cool, a curse word they could scream at will without being reprimanded. I heard it repeated ad nauseam until finally saying fuck it and typing that thing in.

I mean, Chris Farley was funny, but I didn't lift it from Tommy Boy due to any sort of fandom.

Avatar: I like Young Widows. Also had difficulty finding a pic (wasn't aware of gifs back then) that would fit into those tiny fucking size limitations. So I cropped the shit out of a band pic and there it rests, stagnant and unchanged to this day, because I'm far too lazy to bother with it.

The username is of an old-ass Pre-Gish Smashing Pumpkins song. I do still listen to them, believe it or not.

My avatar is of CM Punk, my favourite wrestler in WWE.
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff.

NIce thread.

My user name is gibberish I made up on the spot. Although if pressed, I'd say it might have connotations of Jimmy "Chank" Nolen and the word "geezer".

My avatar is the only image on my hard drive which fit the limitations for avatar pics. (I didn't feel like taking the time to resize anything.) It also happens to be my longest standing guitar crush.
