Username: Family Ties Forever! I have always loved the show Family Ties and it's my all-time favortie show. :) It's perfect as a username for me.

Avatar: Christmas Mickey Mouse. I'm a big fan of Mickey Mouse. I love cats too, so often times my avatar will have a cat in it. Now and then I will have a Family Ties related avatar up. I also love teddy bears so I occasionally have a teddy bear in my avatar.

12-10-2014, 11:54 PM
Back during the Citizen's Band (That's CB for those of you in Rio Linda! :lol: ) Radio Fad many many moons ago I adopted Starship Regulus as my "Handle" because I'm a "Trekker" and I'm a Leo (Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation Leo). Since most sites limit the number of letters you can have as your "handle" these days I shortened it to Regulus. :D

PS, I'm NOT into Astrology, and don't read any of that gobolddygook! :crazy:

While I have no explanation for why my username is the way it is, and I have no avatar either, I can explain why my signature is the way it is. Back when I was a boy watching college football on CBS, Jim Nantz was the studio host in New York at halftime with scores and highlights of other games; the segment was called The Prudential College Football Report (which was his first job with CBS, according to his book Always By My Side). For 1985, his first year on that, Pat Haden was with him in the studio. After that, he went pretty much solo, outside of occasionally having Ara Parseghian with him in the 1987 and '88 seasons.

Don Robertson was the CBS Sports announcer then, and my signature quotes his sponsorship bumper on that Prudential segment in the 1986 season on CBS. You can see it here (go to the 18:56 mark; after a CBS network ID ["This is CBS"], the Prudential segment starts with Don's sponsor bumper).

My username is the name of a character from the late 60's super low budget horror flick 'Manos: The Hands Of Fate', which was made popular when it was riffed on Mystery Science Theater 3000. I'm a fan of cheesy horror, and MST3K.

My avatar is a puppet version of Torgo from the theatrical puppet musical 'Manos: The Hands Of Felt'.

My The Burbs quote is because The Burbs is one of my favorite movies, and favorite Tom Hanks movie. And I thought the quote was apt given this site.

My Stephen King quote is an actual quote of his, and it shows his great sense of humor.

I wear my hair in a ponytail a lot too! I would not be able to have short hair. I would feel lost if I couldn't wear the ponytail. I always thought even if I ever cut my hair shorter than it is , it still would have to be long enough for a ponytail! ;)

I am Bonnie, born in 1962 .:) I have used a few avatars already. This one , the finch bird, they are the cutest little breed of birds. I have some as pets. The one in the picture is a male with his bright orange cheeks. :) And I had the Flintstones, because I love them! And my first one was a field of white daisies. Daisies are beautiful, my favorite flower I guess. I remember I was SO happy when I finally figured out how to post an avatar picture here! ;) Oh and I had Winnie the pooh for Thanksgiving, because I love Winnie. I will be putting up something new for Christmas soon! ;)

Iola is one of my all-time favorite TV characters from my all-time favorite sitcom "Mama's Family".

MrCleveland
12-11-2014, 03:29 PM
Name-Because I live in Cleveland and I feel like I get the Cleveland treatment from time to time (we haven't won a Major sports title in 50 years).

Avatar-It's always Bugs Bunny since he's my favorite cartoon character. It'll usually be a different one season to season.

Signature-It comes from a quote from Lee Hazelwood "Thank God for kids that love obscure things! I never thought anyone would pay attention to those records, and it's a good feeling. It makes me feel like I really did get to do what I wanted to do". And it also has his life on earth...and I also like obscure things as well like Columbia Cartoons such as "Fox and Crow"...

MacLeaper
12-11-2014, 03:34 PM
As one can tell from my signature quotes, I'm a big fan of MacGyver and Quantum Leap (among other things.) Quantum Leap fans are often called "Leapers". Thus, the combination of MacGyver and Leaper- MacLeaper.
The current avatar (which I doubt I'll ever bother to change) is a screen capture of MacGyver in a favorite scene from the "Rush to Judgment" episode, right towards the end.
And my signatures are some of my favorite quotes from favorite TV shows, and of course, one of my favorite Bible verses that clearly declares Jesus Christ as the only Way, Truth and Life Who gets us to The Father in Heaven when we put our faith in His death and Resurrection and follow Him.:) :cool:

The name Sexy Sadie has been tarnished. Susan Adkins(of the Manson family)used that name . I'm not sure if she chose it or if it was given to her by Manson.Either way I cannot use it. How DARE they pollute The Beatles!:mad:

Australopithecus is an ancestor to the modern human, that used to live in Africa two million years ago. The remains of one individual of the species was discovered while "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" was playing on the radio, so she was named Lucy.

Yeah Marlene I know it is a shame such a cool song like Sexy Sadie ended up being associated with a Charles Manson follower! :mad: :(

But than Sadie Hawkins was a cool lady! ;) I don't think she was a real person? But this Sadie is associated with the dance that we get to ask the guys too! ;)

My first name is James and "G" is the first letter of my last name (I know... creative).

I've always been drawn to the freakier side of things and my avatar usually reflects that. I don't change it that often, maybe 6 months at a time. Now it's from a magazine photoshoot featuring Madonna as Katy Perry's "slave".

I never had a signature.

Retro4Life pretty much describes my mindset toward culture. While there are definitely works of modern culture that I love (and I am always open to more), my heart will always remain "retro" because that's where my sensibilities were formed, and, well, because stuff was just 'better' then, lol.

My signature is a quote from Taxi, as it states. I love it, and I wish more people would follow it.

My avatar needs to be updated, but I try to keep it consistent with my honest feeling that the original work is almost always better, in any medium.
