That's exactly what I thought, too.

Upnsmoke because I like the movie (funniest of all Cheech and Chong movies) and because the cigars go up in smoke.

The Avatar is a picture of my Capoeira group performing in Tokyo last year.

[Coasty]

Coasty was laid on me by my high school friends after I joined the Coast Guard.
Avatar is W.C. Fields, IMO the funniest man that ever lived. He loved his cigars and booze. My dad delivered whisky to him during prohibition and told me he was a good man to do business with. "anyone that hates dogs and kids, can't be all bad"

Thanks for this thread. Have enjoyed all the post.

[Cool Breeze]

When I worked for ADT (Commercial Dept) we were putting cameras and access control in a huge mall in Jonesboro and we would sometimes be a quarter mile away from each other. So, we all carried radios. The lead tech on the job kind of made my radio handle Cool Breeze because he said I never got in a hurry. I told him, "Hey man, this is a marathon, not a sprint." lol
The name kind of stuck and I was Cool Breeze for the next 5 years.

The Avatar - Because I'm so damn good looking.

[Cardinal]

I'm not a sports fan, but I remember using this name back on an early forum, probably in the late 90's when I was a teenager. I've always used the explanation that I had just read a Tom Clancy book and I liked the character and the name, so that's what I'll stick with. I kind of wish I'd changed over to my actual name or initials when the Bum came up, but it's not a big enough deal for me to go back now.

The avatar is Uma Thurman's character in Pulp Fiction right after she gets resurrected by the shot to the heart. The scene still makes me cringe and laugh at the same time, and mostly I loved the colors in this particular painting. I had to change from The Jesus because I was tired of meeting people in person and having them be surprised (disappointed?) that I wasn't a sleazy, creepy-looking, hairnet-wearing bowler.

I always thought of Pulp Fiction whenever I saw your avatar...Love that movie, I need to watch it again it's been a while...some great scenes!

[Dijit]

Nickname: Given to me by a friend and former pro wrestler. When he saw I was missing a finger he started calling me dijit after the big ape in Gorillas in the Mist. It stuck I even used in the ring for a short while.
Avatar: Because I am generally too lazy to update or change it but will most likely add my old USAF PJ patch in the near future 129th Rescue Squadron.

[mooster]

I was MarkC on puff; I went with mooster (my favorite cat of all time; don't tell the current ones!) as all my other online names are similar.
The avatar probably makes sense by now.
