    I have always been a big fan of old cartoons (they were and are old to me anyway) so around 6th grade Captncaveman was born i guess. I had a Captain caveman t-shirt from cartoon network and i guess it "clicked" with my friends.
    I love that cartoon. The old Hanna Barbara are classic. Hong Kong Phooey was my favorite.
    I f'n love the Hanna Barbara cartoons. Remember JabberJaw? damn good!

      Name- pretty obvious, I lack the imagination and inclination to come up with a witty alias.

      Avatar- Just the way I feel a lot of the time, screaming at the world :twisted:

        Darkwing Duck and some line from a song. Avatar is off-the-rack from an avatar site. I think the name and the image somehow work together, though.

          Midnightmosesuk- midnight moses is my one of my favourite songs by The Amazing Alex Harvey Band. The UK part is just a bit of geographical reference.

          My avatar- I like classic horror stories, The Yellow Sign is from The King in Yellow by Robert W Chambers.

            Name was taken from the crab boat captain Sig Hansen from my all time favorite TV show, Deadliest Catch. I've used it for a while now on various online games and forums.

            Avatar is of the comic book character Hellboy - favorite movie of mine.

              New guy bumping an old thread! haha

              Screen name is from a Tool song, 'Jimmy' i believe, just always loved that song and that part of it, actually used the song/lyrics for a high school English project.

              Avatar is very simple, first true Swedish snus i bought a can of.

                Interesting topic that reveals some very creative people.

                My username: My first name is "Desire" with an extra "e" at the end = Desiree.

                My avatar: I just think the picture is pretty and it makes me feel all lovey dovey, warm and cozy!

                  Back when I first got on the internet with my 2400 baud modem, AOL asked me for an id, so I mostly randomly picked pweiaholic.

                  Pop Will Eat Itself is a band that often went by pwei... I liked them alot back then, so I added the aholic. And a lack of creativity has kept it that way for around 15ish years.

                    Having been on the tuber'net since the early 90's (BBS days too) I usually go by the nick Asbestos. I've used that since I was about 12 (35 now).

                    I created the name Ainkor about 11 years ago as a roll-playing character in Ultima Online. I was a smurf (for anyone who knows, its a community assistant) and I wanted a name that sounded a bit more game themed.

                    I changed it a bit later to Ainkor the Sage and did some roll-playing with that character but didn't use it for long.

                    When I joined here I thought about using Asbestos, which I use everywhere else but it didn't feel right and for some reason Ainkor sounded like it had a bit of a nordic sound to it, so there ya go!

                    As far as the pic? That's the portions from my first delivery of swedish snus arranged all happy like

                      My name is probably the most original here, my first name and initial of my last name. My avatar is the unit patch for the 82nd airborne division. I spent three years in the unit. Undoubtedly the wildest three years of my life.

                        My name is Debbie, but some people call me Dee...so I combined that with a different spelling of my middle name and my birth year. My avatar is one of my favorites from Lolcats.

                          Many years ago, an ex-girlfriend stormed out of the house and the last thing she said to me was "you have no heart". I told my friends about it, and they all laughed because I'm the one in the group who's usually thought of as having quite a large heart. They came up with the irony laden nickname, and it stuck.

                            Damn, I wish my story was that cool. "MojoQuestor" just means someone who's looking for his (or her, his in my case) mojo. The problem is people naturally refer to me as "mojo", and that could be--well--bad mojo. It doesn't worry me too much because it wasn't my intent, and because I'm not actually that superstitious--I reckon. I do think about revamping someday. Maybe when I get up to 1,000 posts I'll flush this identity and start over--letting everyone know, of course.
