What's the story behind your avatar?

[RobbyMaQ]

Its Howard the Duck. Unfortunately, you're likely going to think of the movie, which pretty much sucked.
Howard the Duck was a Marvel comic and 'Illustrated Comic' (aka adult) that consisted of a complete wise-ass duck. He was banned at issue #31 for being 'too risque' in the mid 70's
As a kid, I collected the comics, and when I first began engaging in computer 'bulletin board systems' (BBS's) back in the early 80's (Am I showing my age?) he was the 'screen name' I chose. I've stuck with him ever since.
BBS's seemed dorky, but at the age of 12 or s i could go and 'meet' complete strangers at BBS Gatherings without my parents worrying about getting molested/abducted. This is because only computer geeks were involved in such things, unlike nowadays.

Was about to go out back and do some .22 conversion practice and 5.55 training with rifle and handgun practice and my mom thought I looked silly and decided to take a picture. I thought I looked kind of cool and used it for my avatar. Exciting story ain't it...

Mine is Zawisca Czarny, a knight that was present at the battle of Grunwald when the Tuetonic Knights were defeated, part of my interest in Polish history. I comes from a painting by Jan Matejko.

But will it be change we can believe in or change for the better?

I find people that are disturbed by "It" mildly disturbing.

Consider this me mildly disturbing you.

Neg rep for saying Howard the Duck movie sucked- I loved that movie as a kid and despite Lucas trying his damndest to erase it from history (not allowing a DVD release) it DID go digital and is on the internet and on Netflix.

Plus what kid from the 80's doesn't like Lea Thompson

Repp'd. I should've worded that differently. The movie was NOTHING like the books (surprise!) which sucked to me.

Agreed and re-repped.

Further disclosuer: My uncle has been known as "Howard" since that movie came out despite his name being Ron. I'm not quite sure why though- I think it is the way he walks
