I stole this nick from someone else half a decade ago.
They played MajicRealm - a VERY old pay-to-play text RPG - as a thief, if I recall correctly. Sure showed that thief how to steal!

It's french or something, I think. Compagne Derezo! Whatever the hell that means.. I think it's something to do with ballet or something.

As for my avatar, it's from a popular TV show called 'The Simpsons' which is part of the Fox Television Network. The series first aired way back in the late 80's. This particular character is Mr. Burns, who is the owner of a nuclear power plant. He's exceedingly wealthy, and also extremely old. For those who recall the episode my avatar is from, you'll know that burns' age has 4 digits.

I'm sure most of you didn't know where my avatar was from. So now you do.

Well, I didnt expect anyone to know names so I just said friends.

Nick: Three first letters of my first name + three first letters of my last name.

Avatar: Gilbert from squidi.net (first season)

To me, your nicks sounds a lot like the spanish word 'aderezo' (dressing), so whenever I see any post of you, I think of Thousand Islands

I don't think I was even asked for a nickname when I joined allegro.cc

The reason for my avatar is because I am secretly Bruce Lee.

Heh... well, I've found a way to have my avatar be relevant to my name, and it still makes me laugh with it's freakish puppetiness... Whoo, whoo!!!

As a boy i played way too much Team Fortress(a quake1 mod) as the Pyro class. Oh and my avatar is taken from some Quake3 Team Fortress art.

Okay I have read this thread since the beginning but was too lazy to post... Here I go :

Well my friends usually have some difficulty understanding my nick, but for english speaking people it shouldn't be so difficult.
Firstly, I once needed a nick to register accounts on internet. Since I lack imagination, I thought of making a nick from my first name, which is Florian. In fact everyone calls me Flo, so I am Flo. But it is a bit too short. I am not any Flo. I am The Flo, the only one. Therefore I am Da Flo ( a bit of english slang here and there ). So da_flo .
And BTW da_flo can also be read da flow ( I've seen people on #allegro on IRC calling me like this ), which can be seen as a rap or hip-hop reference ( even though I do not listen to this kind of music any longer )

Then I kept this nick cause I got used to it

Then as for my avatar...
I change avatars from time to time, so it's not really relevant. My current avatar is quite recent. It's Jin from the anime Samurai Champloo ( see my sig ). I took him because I became a fan of this anime ( and yet only the very first episodes are available ) and Jin is really coooool ( and it's the character that sort of looks the most like me )

My previous avatar was a bit more relevant, it was a chryzode rendered by my program ( see my sig and my site ). Well people might still not know what chryzodes are, but some already know me as the chryzode freak here . Anyway if you're curious check it ( Yay another shameless plug )
It looked like this :
Well it looks quite strange if you do not know what it is, so with it I had the chance to be called "Funky-avatares" or "Nucleus Boy" by X-G... neat...

And some of you perhaps remember my previous avatar, which I kept the longest on allegro.cc. It was an animated avatar of Samus Aran from the wonderful SNES game Super Metroid . I reallu love this console and particularly this game.
Here is the avatar for people having forgotten it, too :

Okay I was a bit too verbose, but I did it ::)... I postes here and now you know everything about me ;) ( well, not everything ;D )

Watanabe made Cowboy Bebop too, which was great.

And you just need to watch the first episode of Samurai Champloo to see this guy is completely insane !

Well, I won't post such stuff here, but if you need some links to fansubs groups, forums, or torrent trackers for Samurai Champloo, feel free to PM me.

The book also clearly describes him as man-sized, and when he faces the Frogstar tank it specifically says he is not a "small" robot. But all Hitchhiker accounts contradict all others, so why shouldn't the movie be as faithful to the book as the book is to the TV and radio show?

(you can view a teaser here)

Hate to break it to ya, Trezker, but your "vision" is pretty much from the BBC television special.

Goodbytes is from the book "Jurassic Park." The tin can avatar is just something I made up.

23: You know... that one dinosaur... with the teeth... sigh, never mind.

Hehe, here's the quote:

From this I infer that 'mr goodbytes' is either nedry's password or the set of keystrokes that trigger his security backdoor with which he was able to shut down the park. Whatever. I just thought it sounded cool.

Goodbytes: That head is ok, and the general concept seems good, but the arms and boxiness feels rather lowtech. And his face is way too happy.

No, marvin's just depressed. It's a vastly different condition.
