Bonzo Dog Band is insane. It's basically if Monty Python was a bunch of musicians...

Bonzo Dog Band's Keynsham is one of the albums I asked for for Christmas. I kind of did it as a risk, not knowing anything about them. Are they good? And also, you mentioned surreal comedy. The Office is a great show, try that out.

Well, my name's taken from one of the silliest and most hilarious songs
ever recorded - Trouser Press by the Bonzo Dog Band. It is NOT a reference to the music mag (though apparently they derived their name from the exact same song!).
As for me avatar... Well the surreal and the bizarre is my bag in all
forms of art and expression, be that music, comedy, theatre or fine art
so it seemed only right to pick a well-known painting by one of my
favourite Surrealists of all time - the magnificent Rene Magritte!

The story behind my name is pretty long, but summarized it would be like that:
My brother used to call me Baby-Makko when i was young (my name's Markus) and i wanted to use that name online, but make it look different. So it became Bebie-Makko, and then BebieM. 
I don't have an avatar yet, do I?

I chose penguindf12 as my e-mail screenname when I was 12 years old (hence the "12"), and my initials are D.F. (Dex F. [I refuse to give my last name! --but you may know it anyway]). And when I was 12, my favorite animal was the penguin. A cool critter to be sure. 
Maybe if I get a band, I'll be the bassist and instead of being "the fish" (Chris Squire's nickname), I'll be "the penguin" and wear a tux and top hat every time. Okay, maybe not the top hat. Slash might sue.

I realize many don't consider Zeppelin prog, and I myself am not going
to be so quick as to suggest they suggest necessarily are, but I chose
Rob the Plant because I love their music,and my favorite of the group is Robert Plant. The
avatar is simply a cool picture of Plant.

I've acctually stolen my nickname from my favourite Leeds United player of all time, David Batty also known as Batts. The bonecrusher from Yorkshire.
My avatar is just something I found on the list.
My signature is the anthem of Leeds United

"Easy livin" has been my favourite track by Uriah Heep (my favourite band) from their album "Demons and wizards"(my favourite album) since it was released in the very early 70's. An Easy living is also something I'll do anything for!
My avatar is of course Jethro Tull's best album, and one of the finest prog albums ever made. I just felt "Thick as a brick" was sort of appropriate!

I change all the time my avatar: it can be the cover of an album that I like.
greenback means a couples of things: US dollar, city name, street name, person name...

This IS a great thread. Now I wish I had been more creative, but I just wanted to get started quickly. I chose a default avatar and wil probably come up with something better down the road.
My nickname is just my name without the "d". My name is actually Raymond but I go by Ray. 7174 to me defines the heyday of prog rock, and rock for that matter. It also happens to be the pinnacle of Yes' brilliance, IMHO of course.
I thought I would change my nickname to something more creative at some point in the future, but I am yet to find where you can modify your username.

My avatar was randomly selected from the default avatars, and it stuck because it looks cool.
As for my name, it has been my home... at least since that incident with the KGB...
