OK - so it's a slow day at work today and this was discussed in a recruits thread, so I'll move it here...what are some member's screen names and avatar's that you have to look twice at and what are they misintepreted as? Here's a few off the top of my/other's head:

PANDFAN: A Panda fan obviously.
bobbyok1: Poppycock per GITF
ALLGATOR: Alligator
Wooly/Whiskeyjack/beryirish: I feel like if I met you guys in person you would look like The Dude/Walter/The Jesus
irishhog77: Are you really a slight little man who parades around in a Superman costume?


Have at it. This is all in good fun, no ill will intended!

I for the longest time was Donny.

I'm not black.

I still don't believe this.

Right. And I'm not Jewish.

You're ****ing Polish Catholic!

When I first read this, I thought you said 1/4 mayonnaise. And I thought in my best Homer internal voice, "Mmmmm...mayonnaise!"

Ha, funny. That was before my time here. Is the similarity of your current avatar to Whiskey's intentional (similar in that both depict heroes of cult classic movies pointing guns)? I've often wondered.

"I'm Scotch-Romanian."
"What an odd combination ..."
"Yes, so were my parents ..."

Beau's choice of a gun-brandishing hero may have been coincidental, but a few people commented on the phenomenon several months ago and changed their avatars as a result; like eNDzone, for instance.

Let's see ... 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/4 = 2 1/4. OMG! You're more than twice the man I am!!!

I'm almost afraid to ask, but what movie/ show is your avatar from?

Cooler than ACamp

For a long time, I couldn't figure out what "ACamp" was until I realized it was in reference to another member. I was thinking, " what kind of camp is 'ACamp?' Why is this dude so obsessed with it?"

I purchased the change user title thing for a number of users a few years back... one of them was Lax... I changed his to "ACamp is my hero" or something like that... after months of not noticing it he changed it to his current user title... lol

As for my name... I'm in a camp all my own... 'A' Camp that all those from the 1900's on dream of being a part of... ...

or maybe it's just a play on my real name and random numbers at the end... I forget which.

:)

I have actually had the same user name on every cfb board since the ESPN main boards going back to the 1990s when i was a reg over there.

Whiskey actually nailed it. Mine happened to be purely coincidental. For a while we had movie themed avatars, where for a month we were characters from "The Big Lebowski" and then "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". At one point in time, I was Benjamin from "The Graduate" and Kissme was Mrs. Robinson. Then I switched to Jules simply because he was another favorite character of mine. It has since then never changed, but apparently we still managed to create somewhat of a fad.
