What's the story behind your username and avatar?

[RedKnight]

Unimaginative username that's now been there too long to change. Picked it because Star Wars Episode III was out at the time and I had an Obi Wan avatar to go with it. I wear the lameness of it as a badge of honour now.

 

Avatar is Gigi Meroni who played for Torino in the '60s and was killed crossing the road in Turin when he was 24. Changed it back in 2014 and have never felt the need to change it since.

One hell of a story behind this guy. The guy driving the car that hit him, Attilio Romero, was a Torino fan and Meroni was his favourite player. Romero went on to become the club's president about 30 years later!

Had no idea - following the club?

Username is my Xbox gamertag. I thought it would  really stick it to Microsoft if I promoted an old Sega console on their network. Please note I was 18 at the time!

 

As a 31 year old man it seems like I've outgrown this name, but what can you do?

This is nothing to do with your name, is it?

Don't think so. Think the poor guy drowned in El Salvador. He was a friend of Tom Ross I think. Was only young.

I've only just noticed the pricks and balls in your avatar. I'm kind of relived. 

They've been skullfucking you on a subliminal level.

This may come all over some of you as a surprise, but I like innuendo. 

 

I have also been John Barnes Testicles and Señor Dong - on other sites. 

 

My my avatar is actually the only known pic of @General Dryness cos he’s an ace panty sniffer.

The likeness is good, but needs more beard.

Username:

Comes from 3 things. My nickname is Zonko. If I had been off my face the night previously my mates would ask me how did you get on and I'd always say I was "Zonked" so Zonko stuck. Then when I got my first place the lads called it Zonko Town which changed to Zonko Ville. 77 comes from our first European Cup win.

Brilliant thread. Given me a lot of insight into many of you.

He in prison now 

[Hades]

I enjoy mythology and the mythopoetic men's movement, thus Hades. My old avatar was John Locke, a tragic character on Lost. My current avatar is the character Bill Dauterive from King Of The Hill, another tragic, divorced middle-aged man.

I remember when Dennis Tooth said to you once (because he disagreed with you on the FF) "well you're certainly no Red so you must be dead".  Still makes me laugh.  

[Rafiagra]

Admittedly pinched it off a mate's banner

 

Something along the lines of Rafiagra, guarantees at least a semi

I remember how long it's been since Dennis Tooth last posted here.

 

Still makes me laugh.

Arthur Friedenreich - tricky outsider, broke the mould in Brazilian football, was the among the first black players to play for Brazil when it was still considered a gentleman's game, plus he was half german so he kopped stick for everything, used to plaster his hair down to try and fit in. watched a boss documentary on him once.

I'm an awkward sod who tries hard to fit in

avatar - pete seeger, fought for what he believed in, not everyone agreed with him, but i think he was a fucking legend in the truest sense, and I'm not down with the fascist groove thang. will go back to that crazy tin foil hatted lee scratch perry mofo soon, as he i also a fucking boss bloke worthy of avatarity.

Wasn't it Woody Guthrie who had "This Machine kills Fascists" on his guitar?

Aye, posting pissed and mangled my folk heroes, will need to send my billy Bragg fan club pin back.

to be fair what I said about Seeger also applies to Guthrie, and the fuckers were in each other’s pockets, Peggy seeger’s space girl song is also pretty awesome

 

 

 

 

[Jarvinja Ilnow]

Warrington man meets horse, and takes strong dislike to equine adversary. Results in knockout punch being thrown and man going to jail. Horse whereabouts unknown.

 

Ukranian man meets horse-sized, gobshite, and takes strong dislike to mouthy adversary. Results in sound thrashing, devastating knockout, and shutting up of mouthy twat. Ukranian becomes undisputed champ and Blueshite demands privacy. Blue gobshite emerges from Pit to inflict himself on general public again.

 

The horse got a raw fucking deal.
