What's the Story With Your Avatar? (1 Viewer)

When my spreagle was a puppy I'd throw this flowery-frisbee thing for her to retrieve and she always brought it back in this position, looking like a daisy-dog. it made me laugh.

 
back in olden times, when I had just decided to register in the boards, a SNL rerun was on TV. Moleculo, as originally played by Conan O'Brian, just made me laugh - so awkward, so heroic, so obscure. That became my user name, and this has been my avatar since.

 
I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom

I kill conversation as I walk into a room

I'm a three-line whip, I'm the sort of thing they ban

I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man

- From the song Demolition Man, The Police - Ghost in the Machine

 
It's a picture of Hastur I found on Google.

Hastur is "He who must not be named", which is a character in books written by H.P. Lovecraft.

My original persona on here was banned, so I figured 'he who must not be named' was ok for anonymous internet posting.

 
Looking back, I know there was a reason I chose my avatar, but it's been long enough that I can't remember why I chose it.

 
One of my all time favorite Movies and genesis of my screename here. Koyaanisqatsi is also my oldest (and most successful) fantasy team (10+ years in my big money league)
I cant make out what it says. Which movie?
Koyaanisqatsi.
Wow, I thought you were making that word up.This movie looks weird. Something my gf would be in to. Whats it about?
Koyaanisqatsi is a Hopi Indian word for life out of balance, a way of life that calls for another way of living.

It is not a story nor script, but rather imagery and video set to a dramatic score by the Phillip Glass orchestra.

Essentially a picture of modernity, destroying the earth, each other. A juxtaposition of nature and technology. Really stunning.

Filmed in the early ages it is now very much of its era but just as powerful a message, today. But I'm the context of the Cold War and nuclear proliferation, a Hopi proverb that is powerfully and darkly sung was/is all too potentially prophetic:

"If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster."

"Near the day of Purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky."

"A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky, which could burn the land and boil the oceans."

 
While on the subject, a little ditty...

I was speaking to Congressman Steve Israel, who is one of Obama's closest confidants (at the SOTU he walks back with the Pres for example). I told him that I had to leave early (was a non campaign charity event) as my mother, who helped him sadly in his career, was being installed as President of our Temple.

He told me a story of a time when Obama was #####ing about the stress and all, and Obama said something along the lines of "there can't be a job that's tougher than this one" as they commiserated after a particularly tough day.

Steve replied to Obama - you must have never been a Temple President.

 
One day I was sitting in Vault 101 when my dad came in and said "Son, yes we can escape the Vault". He soon left mysteriously but those words stuck with me and I decided to find a way out of the myself to search for him.

When I finally found him he was running for President of the New California Republic. He needed a logo for his campaign and asked me to design one. This is what I came up with.

Twice, although he's now trying to change the NCR Constitution to run for a third term.

I didn't like that they killed Brian and I wanted to keep him alive. Plus he is drinking a martini

Id be happy to vote for him for a can of Cram.

 
though I took a brief hiatus, I was updating my mojojojo for the new millennium. I am a cartoon watcher, I find the characters and story lines funnier than anything else on tv. in fact, dr zoidberg might be the best character in all of tv history. well, my wife, her attitude and looks are exactly the green powerpuff girl. but that avatar won't fly here guy, so I went with their arch nemesis.

 
It's just . . . me.

I was about to ask what your credentials were when it came to judging ####ty comebacks, but I see that you've gone ahead and took the initiative to post them. Kudos.

How do you explain your lack of credentials when judging a serious post from a blatantly ridiculous one?

Now THATS funny!

 
The original icons used for MrFootball.com (including the black-eyed-joe logo) came from font called Tombats. This one just felt like me. Dinosaur/Dragon/Evolving creature.

 
A few years ago I was at this conference in Tampa for erectile dysfunction that was doubling as a swingers party. On the last night, I had a threesome with a popular former Super Champion QB and his wife. After I climaxed, he shook my hand and gave me a sticker with this image on it. That explains both my avatar and my username.
I don't even care if this story is true or not.
