im called rossco bossco because my name is ross and loads of people call me rossco and loads of other people call me bossco plus any other variation they can think of at the time.
so with me being an unimaginative git, went for the highly original name of rossco bossco.
As for the avatar..... Thundercats rock!

I choses me name cos I is a darnsar, innit
Have used the name elsewhere on the 'net before. And I guess the jigglybum bit could refer to my infallible impression of beyonce

fine_rabid_dog was just a hotmail suggestion as the username ilikedebooty was already taken, and so it stuck. The avatar? which one?
my first one tried to fit with the name and sucked.
the second just because and the sepiroth one cos i liked ff7 but it was taken by VT so i had to change it!
the most recent one I just saw on www.avatarity.com and thought ohhhh! nice!

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potato's.

Skulduggery.....well All summer I have been avoiding sun stroke with a scull and crossbones head scalf tied around my head and I always fancied being a pirate when I was a kid. I suppose its the Welsh blood (most of the infamous female pirates of old I read about were Welsh). No I don't only have one eye/leg or own a parrot.
The Avatar is just a doodle. His name is of course Skully. I seem to doodle him a lot.

As I've just read everyone else's, I'll add mine.
Having such a friendly sister when I was a kid I was often referred to as smelly, poo head, grotbox, snotbag, etc etc.
Grotbox just popped into my head when I was making an email address, after finding out all my first choices were taken.
And yeh, it's stuck. Like glue. Yummeh.
Avatar is just cool. Makes me grin whenever I look at it....

my name refers to the Long Beach Dub Allstars, a band which features the surviving members of Sublime who were at the time i joined up my favourite group of all time. every one thinks it refers to double staff though, but now i've actually got some i guess it could...
as for the avatar, this little monster is an animation i made with my digi camera just cos it was the easiest thing to animate. someone gave it to me a while ago although i can't remember who. it's spent the last year living in a plant pot and is going back there eventually. i'll probably change it next week anyway....

My name comes from my hair colour(s) I used to be called The Devils Daughter when I had bright red hair,but then I started braiding it,and then wrapping it in lots of brightly coloured wool that glows like mad under uv light,so then my mates started calling me Rainbow bright.But when I went onto the rainbow brite website to find a pic for my avatar,I was quite surprised to find that shes got blonde hair,but shes so cute, I kept it anyway!

ooh this is an interesting thread. Wonder how i missed it before...
erm I've explained my name about a thousand times. But my avatar is a drawing that i did. It's meant to be ironic. cause it's of an artist painting.
So it's me drawing an artist who is, in turn, drawing/painting something.
Not very ironic i know but i'm not all that clever....

*Bandwagon hopping*
Well this isn't particularly orginial but my name is Dominic
The avatar is from Max from Sam & Max : Freelance Police, a very cool, very funny comic/cartoon/game that just seems to have vanished into the ether. There was going to be a sequel but Lucas Arts (the publishers) decided to cancel it as it was nearing completion and go with a surefire-easyhit-generic-yet-another-spinoff-StarWars game intead.
As I had been waiting for this game for nearly a year I was slightly cheesed off but that.

*could have sworn I already posted here but apparently not*
my name... means 'no' in french which is why i have my avatar which is of a load of garden chairs arranged in the word NON, I do not really know why, i guess it's some sort of Parisian protest against garden chairs...
although in fact NOn is just the last bit of my real name which is Rhiannon - so it's a bit cryptic but in the end, not very original either... the odd arrangement of capital letters was a typo i acquired a few years back.
