Explain me your avatar/nickname

   In the early 2000s I belonged to a TV show forum which asked for "Login Name" and so my username became LoginName, I then quickly changed to to Login and then to Logan, which acts as a Logan's Run reference (a sci-fi film from 1976 that had a big effect on me as a child and continue to).  I have a variety of avatars that I regularly use. I swap them around.  Right now I'm using the album cover of the Scottish act Boards of Canada's Music Has the Right to Children (from 1998). Not only is it one of my favourite albums, but the album cover really appeals to this Canadian, reminds me of trip I made with my family, and although the people are faceless, the blonde kid at the end totally reminds me of when I was a kid in the 70s (and I had a shirt I very much liked to wear like that in some old photos of me).  At other times I have used a promo pic of Sean Connery for the movie Zardoz, an image referencing the show Twin Peaks, Batman with shark on leg, used to use one of myself, and Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap (those are my other main ones).

	Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

	I think the aardvark is a neat animal name. I laid on my back and lifted my feet into the air and took a picture of them.

	I've been here a while. Years ago I went under this moniker and never changed it. It was a goofy band name of mine. I made horrible music. VALDEZ Edited by Valdez - May 02 2025 at 08:05

	Hi, No avatar, other than the light ... the flame ... that leads us all into life. The name, was a take on my first EVERQUEST character some 25 years ago ... which was "Moshkiae" and it was a derivative of Aldous Huxley's Moshka ... with the one item that was our work friends ... which all of us had to have an "iae" at the end, and we ended up for over 25 different folks then, and though none of them seemed to have continued after a year or two, I did and ended up moving to WoW when EQ killed itself by one programmer that was on the warpath against addons ... he finally got his butt fired, but the damage was done, and some of the best players in EQ ended up in WoW in important positions ... and we're talking some of the best players and code folks in EQ, that came to WoW. It was a loss EQ never recovered from!

	My username is the band of course, but I am gentle and tall (so a giant). My avatar is Bob Calvert ex Hawkwind.

	My name is the evil uncle in a 1960s British TV show Noggin The Nog. My avatar is a protest of the censorship of album cover art.

	My nickname is an ironic reference to Ron "Chopper" Harris of 1970s Chelsea FC fame and is a comment on my footballing abilities, given to me by a work colleague many years ago. My avatar is a Pendragon album, you can work out which one. Edited by chopper - May 02 2025 at 06:59

	Well, the 'game' is about what the title says. In my case, my nickname comes from the name of the Yezda Urfa song 'Three Tons of Fresh Thyroid Glands', while my avatar is the cover of the album 'A Drop of Light' by All Traps on Earth, illustrated by the great 🇦🇷Santiago Caruso🇦🇷
