^^ Haha, thank you! I actually did not notice till about 15 minutes ago that my title was ever changed. This just goes to show you how much I pay attention to my username/title/post count Razz

(I normally just look for my avatar to see where my posts are)

Nazg�l appear as enemies in the roguelike computer game NetHack. They breathe a gas that can put your character to sleep, and carry cursed rings that bestow invisibility.

I thought that to travel invisibly hacking scammers to pieces and breathing the breath of sleep on them fitted my romantic imagery of what i would like to do. Twisted Evil

When I first joined, I had a character from Farscape as an avatar, War Minister Akhna. Then we had a bit of a forum discussion as to why most of the men had hot female avatars, so I decided I should find a tasty male avatar. Settled on Stanislav Ianevski, the Bulgarian actor who made his film debut as Viktor Krum in Goblet of Fire, my favorite Harry Potter book/film. He was both easy on the eyes and rather interesting and personable in his interviews, and it didn't hurt that he also had a sexy accent and happened to be from a country I'm interested in anyway.

I've had two versions of him, but I've stuck with the "current" one for over a year. The only real seasonal adjustment I make is the Santa hat for December, and an eyepatch for Talk Like A Pirate day. Come January, I'll make him hatless again.

I like Daleks. Some friends got me hooked on Doctor Who, and ever since, it was either Daleks, or...well, Daleks.

In the past, I've tried the hot avatar thing, it just didn't work for me.

@Harry if you like the Simpsons, you'd love having my life. I pass Flanders St. every day, I've been to the home of Rusty Nails (the inspiration for Krusty), my grandmother lives in Springfield, and more (probably some things I would never remember). It's really fun to go around my home city and see something that closely resembles the show, because it may very well mean it was an inspiration.

Since we all have to protect our real identities from the scammers, it suited my sense of humor to think of moi as a 'secret agent'....and the original--and imho best secret agent of all was John Drake, aka Dangerman and Secret Agent Man (as in the hit song) Cool

I'm not suppose to comment!

Mine is of course Gussie Fink-Nottle from series 2 of the Stephen Fry/Hugh Lawrie "Jeeves & Wooster" series.

PS - The hat comes off on Tuesday.

I doubt very much that any of the old timers here will remember this, but my first avatar was a character from Mars Attacks:

Well, then this advert aired on tv.

I captured this frame from the video and used it for a while:

Then I thought this one might be better:

That's the original from the video. I touched up the colors a bit and have been using it ever since (in differing regalia):

To answer the questions I received almost daily by PM:

1. No it's not me.
2. No, I don't know who she is.
3. If I knew who she was, I'd be out stalking her right now.

Edit:

I've been considering using this lovely lady (from another TV ad), but I think I'll stick with my present one:

I said you need not answer. Yours is as self explanatory as mine. Though the picture is much better.

In fact, I must ask an admin to change my name to Nick L Cadmium, I don't know why I didn't sign up that way in the first place. It makes the name more apparent.

<-- Lily Allen, whom I would gladly be out stalking right now if I had the resources.

Mine's Nosferatu, from a 1920's Dracula movie. He comes to life in his coffin, and takes over the ship 'Demeter'. In the Dracula story it ends up wrecked on a beach in Whitby harbour, as did a real ship, inspiring Bram Stoker.

I have connections with Whitby, and also that scene from the film made a lasting impression. The vampire's nails have clearly kept growing in the coffin. Shocked

I started using it when I got a couple of lads to write out Dracula by hand, to give them sweet dreams.

I started with Mr Cropper himself, and sometimes use him, or a mock up 'Playgoat' cover that Google found for me, as the mood suits.

Mine 's the painting 'The Laughing Cavalier' by Dutch Master Frans Hals, painted in 1624. I have occasionally even used this as my 'passport picture', to which the lad replied that I was a handsome looking man.

Occasionally the Cavalier gets adorned with a Christmas hat, a Sinterklaas crozier, or a pirate's outfit.
