	Hangedman is from the tarot card. Ive actually never told anyone this, but im actually quite obsessed with it. I dont even really believe in tarot cards, but its just the image. A young man whose hung upside down yet remains completely indifferent, he even looks relaxed. My avatar is the only image of the card that would actually load up. It doesnt really capture the magic though.

	Vibrationbaby et al: This is one of the best threads I've seen so far. I'm actually extremely surprised no one thought of it before. I don't have an avatar because...frankly, I'm a Luddite and don't know how to add one! As for my nickname, I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you... Peace.

	Sweetnighter is the title of Weather Report's third album, and during my "weather report stage" when i gobbled up every album the band ever put out i started using that sn for pretty much every webpage i had to have an sn for. Plus, my girlfriend thinks its cute The picture is the cover of Ayn Rand's book The Founainhead, which is one of my all time faves. Before that, I had Yes' Relayer as my cover and the first avatar i had was Return to Forever's Romantic Warrior, which although is my favorite album, has a lame cover for using as an avatar. This is really outdated. Now, as many of you can tell, I have Magma's logo as my avatar... and its super cool because its in flames. Edited by Sweetnighter
	I bleed coffee. When I don't drink coffee, my veins run dry, and I shrivel up and die. "Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso? Is that like the bank of Italian soccer death or something?" -my girlfriend

	^ My avatar (someone just mentioned this) comes from Gonzo journalism, and Hunter S. Thompson in particular. It wasn't a widely used symbol, but I like it. My name is, of course, my first and middle. Maybe I wasn't feeling particularly creative when I first signed up...

	Danbo is the combo of my first and last name: Dante Bodiddley. Simple really. I would have used danbodiddley, but then everyone would know my true name, hunt me down, ask for an autograph and otherwise make my life miserable. My current, yet ever changing, avatar is my favorite guitarist and beer swilling icon, Allan Holdsworth.

	I think I tod the story of my nickname but not sure: One of my best friends had a weird girlfriend who said she was some kind of witch or psychic, the day he introduced me to her (all dressed in black somehow Gothic style), the first phrase she said was You are going to die!!!!! I was scared to death, but after a few seconds she finished the sentence, in the year 2068!!! I started to laugh but she didn't move a muscle of the face, I think she believed hewr own crap, When I came to internet tried to use my name ivan, but there were many more, so I added the infamous 2068. And my avatar is obvious, I'm a Genesis fan and Peter Gabriel is my favorite prog' vocalist and in the picture he's singing myfavorite song (The Musical Box) Iván Edited by ivan_2068

	My screen name comes from a Tool song. My avatar is the cover of Blackwater Park by Opeth. I hope that wasn't too in depth

	Why did you select the image for your avatar and how did you acquire your nickname. Some are obvious.But others are just plain freakin` weird! I chose Vibrationbaby because in high school when I was playing drums a certain Rosemary McKarten who had a crush on me started to call me this and it caught on. As for my image, I spent 9 years in the Canadian Forces flying fighter aircraft and apart from music (music was and will always be my first) this was a passion. The particular aircraft in the photo is an F-111C from 6 squadron of the Royal Australian Air Force demonstrating a dump and burn manoever at an air show at Amberly, Queensland, Australia. The aircraft was being flown by my cousin John. If anyone on the site wants a more detailed explanation as to what a dump and burn is feel free to e-mail me or PM me. If you want a more detailed viewing of the photo visit my website, it is featured on page one. As for velvetclown we know he is a master of miltiple clownish disguises. Edited by Vibrationbaby
