KingDaddyDave: My wife is handicaped and uses a power wheelchair. She is in the Red Hat Society, the one full of old ladies.. not the geeky linux one. She is the QueenMother of her chapter, called the LadyChatterlies, which is an online group. Husbands are usually "persona-non-grata" at RedHat Fucntions, but since I am pretty much her driver, assistant and all around "go-fer" the ladies in her group started calling me KingDaddy a few years ago and its stuck. I added the Dave to the end cause that's my name.
The avatar is a little dragon render I did YEARS ago.

My nick is based on part of my name Alper + i (in russian - "and") + um (in russian - "brain") : Alperium
My avatar is "Penrose's impossible triangle" WWW Link

Hey Snowy, do you have a dog called Fred?

My nick came from me being the owner of a bearing company (Radial) as in Radial Ball Bearings and FX because the bearing I made for our website has some "Effects" in it that you wouldn't normaly find in a Ball Bearing. My avatar (Shrek Donkey) is because his personality and mine are so close to the same! So...walllaa we have RadialFX who is also an......ass! RAD

Instead of Kumbiya...Sing after me ya'll...
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin',
We gonna do what they say can't be done.
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
I'm east bound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run.

Keep your foot hard on the pedal. Son, never mind them brakes.
Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make.
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta and there's beer in Texarkana.
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes.

Oh what a great movie...saw it the day it hit the theater(damn, that makes me feel old).

Great opening for explaining my nick. I have been in the car business in one way or the other all my life. Mechanic for 30 years (called technicians these days) and now I am service manager for two well known rent a car companys and my territory is South Carolina. My avatar is a cartoon drawing of me in a Mustang.

Been called elvee for years...easier to remember than Lavant.  

I think I've already replied to this thread a while back, but I wanted to show off my new avatar courtesy of Po' Smedley(that rat bastard)

xscorpx is a shortened version of scorpius as for the x's either end someone else had got to sign up at wc with the handle scorp GRRRRRRRR dam theif , scorpius is a character out of farscape & wears leather including a freaky leather mask (see picure @ bott left after clicking on link),it's the only handle i ever use for the past 4 years tho in the first two years i preferred to spell it scorpious

Scorpius works for the Peacekeeper military, but only so far as working for them serves his purposes. His single-minded mission: to develop a means to control the creation, and travel possibilities, of the natural space phenomenon known as wormholes. His development of the Aurora Chair was a major coup and he uses it no matter how cruel it might be to his advantage. His primary mission now is to find Crichton, because the secret to wormhole technology may be locked in the human astronaut's mind, placed there by the race known as The Ancients.

dont get me wrong, Sublime was my favorite band since highschool but no correlation between them and my nickname........I first heard of this word when i was watching Aladdin and the King of Thieves back when i was fairly young (6 or 7 years old)

Yeah, I heard of it when I was quite young also. My father often commented that I went from the sublime to the ridiculous, mostly because I would go to extremes to pull off a practical joke in some kind of spectacular or supreme fashion.

Oh yeah, even at 5 or 6 I could lay the most intricate plans to execute rather hilarious practical jokes, and whilst my father was required to mete discipline to make me think twice about doing it again, I could still see underneath it all that he rather admired well laid plans, a bit of ingenuity and perfect timing for the best result/great impact.

At 16 I worked for my father and uncle as a builders labourer, and often it was like I was back in my earlier childhood, being there were frequent practical jokes across the site. Hehe, this is how I'm sure dad admired my pranks, he and my uncle would often duplicated prior stunts of mine as payback to other work gangs who dared pull one on us. Yeah, they treated me like an adult, and expected me to work like one as well, and on Fridays we'd knock off a bit earlier to go to the pub for a scrumpy (a rather potent alcoholic cider) or three, but still it seemed sometimes like they were even bigger kids....more sublime than I ever was.

Uh... I like pugs...and I am a boy.

I also enjoy programming on my TI-84+, so hence the pug on the calculator.

I like Zubaz nick name, cos my dad's name was basil but he use to get called baz for short, so everytime I see Zubaz's nick name I think of my dad..
