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🇦🇷

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.

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

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!

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.
