We had this thread in the old off-topic too, but a lot of new members have joined us since then (besides I need threads for "Wanna Know The PEELers II").

Basically tell us why you chose exactly that PEEL handle and avatar. Feel free to tell us about your sig too.

Teral was picked as it sounded Cardassian, the coolest aliens in Star Trek ever.

Leela-avatar. Do I really have to explain that?

Text-sigs own you!

Holly is from Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Holly Golightly is my msn ID and alter ego  J. Fry is obvious - Futuraming up my usual screen name.

My original avatar was Fry flying, chosen for general cuteness. The current one is my favourite though

it does describe me very well...   

Melllvar is from "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" and sounds near enough to my surname.  And the ultimate Star Trek fan.

The longest running avatar for me was Melllvar himself (first was Brainslug Party Guy), but I recently changed to Fry/Ozzy because I thought (and still think) it's amazing and hilarious.

Hmm, all I can find out about gocad is some geography 3-D modeling thingy... 

Actually, when I made techno, my nick was håk. But my brother came up with the name Hawk, and I used. My first avatar was because it was Hawking. Now, I'm using my avvy couse it's.... it's.... cool. My sig was a text sig, I don't rememer what it was. Now, I just wanted a ascii sig.

I chose my name cos I enjoy spanking the monkey quite often but then I thought ienjoyspankingthemonkeyquiteo ften was a bit of a stupid name so I changed it to liketowankalot

hmmmm, I'm not sure where 'TheVoices' comes from, maybe I though it would sound cool or something, I dunno. As for the Avatar, it's me baby and the sig is just true ain't it

Name: Impossible - No idea. Possibly because it's impossible to live with me 'cause I'm a looney.

Avatar: I had the flying Fry one at first - the same as Holly's  Then I changed it to the Leela Karate one, which I had for ages. Then I changed to Fry & Leela, and then I changed it again to this one, simply because I love the episode 

Sig: I got bored.

I don't know why the hell I chose this retarded name.

Zed 85 - it sounded cool at the time. If you want everything explained then, well, the Z-95 Headhunter is a fighter from the Star Wars EU, which shows I'm a big fan, but one thing I noticed about it that everyone called it the Zee 95, not that thats bad, but just to show that I'm British we all say Zed of course rather than Zee. Simply changed 95 to 85, 85's a cool random number, plus is the year of my birth and also the year of the events of Operation Flashpoint, which suggests my liking of that. Nothing what-so-ever to do with Futurama, except rather a lot of "illegal copyright infringments" of Futurama have it marked on them. 

Avatar: Originally used Leela_Impulsive, cos I liked it, but also, it just had to be Leela as well, then Wu started using the same one, so I switched to her with a harpoon. Can't remeber why, and the last two of my custom ones have merely been from my fan-art that I thought looked cool. 

Sig - changes too much to be sure

A futurama quote, "Sweet Zombie Jesus!". It was either the Professor, or Hermes who said it. I don't remember in what episode.

My nick in #futuramachat:
FrankenChrist:
Similar to "ZombieJesus".
Frankenchrist it is the title of a Dead Kennedys album. This was the first album in the U.S. to be banned.

I chose Tweek because the first message board I joined was a South Park board, and like Tweek I drink a little bit too much coffee, I have used the name Tweek for every board I've joined since, everybody I know on line calls me Tweek.

I picked this avatar as Leela is my favourite Futurama character and I liked this one most of those available when I joined.

Name - Named for my Perfect Dark alias. Mad skills in capping folks. I should upload a picture for you people, you could see the character and his stats.
Avatar - One of my favorite episodes, i special requested this avatar back when I first came here. Marc made it and added it to the avvy pool, and I've used it ever since.

I think you told us once that your name was because of your very first avvy.

Josh -> Yoshi -> Yoshimitsui -> Mitsui

Quite a sad chain there   , it happened ages ago in my first school, but I still actually like the name Mitsui so I kept it.

My avatar, because I love the way That Guy says "Awesome, awesome to the max" so I chose him, scanned from that very scene.

My sig, I wanted something neat, stylish and cool, and also one which would scrape under PEEL's harsh sig limits. I saw Cellery's old sigs at PEEL PP, and remembered they were perfect, and wouldn't be that hard to make, seeing as I aleady had scans from my avatar making. Therefore I ripped them off, but changed the name to lettuce so that it wasn't too serious a rip-off. I might "parody" other people's sigs in future, when Im not so lazy.
*Dammit, I really should have shown my sig shouldn't I

Okay, so I've posted my Perfect Dark character's pictures on my webspace.  first.... an attempt at remote linking that will fail utterly.

And if that doesn't work... open a new window and type in http://madcapper.scriptmania.com
and go to the photos page, they're in there. Be prepared for a popup or two if you go to the main page or photo page though.

Name:  Travis and I were trying to think of a nick-name for me when I signed up.  So we thought Drippy_Cupcake was cute, because it took a little from his and what he calls me.

Avatars:  I use Strawberry Shortcake Avatars because I think they are cute and I know that no one else is going to have one.  My first was SS in the bathtub and Custard was in the picture on the floor.  My second was SS with a snowman for Christmas.  And now I have this one. 

Sig:  I like to use quotes now for my sig when I use it.

My username is a combination of 2 things. The ghoulish part was taken from a Hallowe'en episode episode of South Park and was said by Terrance and Phillip. The moose bit was a name I was called by my friend when she realised I'd done something wrong. She called me a silly moose. I thought it was kinda funny at the time. So when I was thinking of a user name. I combined the 2 and hey presto, you get ghoulishmoose And its NEVER EVER used anywhere else and is unique to me 

And the avatar, well I just thought it looked really cool and and it was colourful and I took a shining to it as soon as I saw it. So I've used it ever since I joined and never changed it 

I choose my name 'cause it means foriegner in Korean ...it also means alien...
   As I live in Korea and apear to be the only foreigner for miles I thought the name was quite fitting!!
