You obviously weren't at ARGfest-o-con 06. On the first night I wore a shirt with Cy on it so that everyone would be able to recognize me Wink


/me demands photographic evidence! You can't name-drop ARGfest and then fail to give evidence of the T-shirt! Razz


Had to find a picture from the first night, but here you go.

Does adopting an avatar because you bought the T-shirt count? Or is it only if you had the T-shirt specially made to sport your avatar? If it's the former, it's 3 (see here for some sort of evidence, courtesy of PuzzledPineapple.

AY AY AY ARRRRRRRRRRRRIBA!!!!
Here I am...rock you like a hurricane...

My middle name is Robert, which can be changed to Rob and bastardized to BOB. Whenever there was another person with my name around, I would tell people to call me Bob. For my usernames and such I wanted to spice it up by making it Bobbo (pronounced Bob-oh, NOT Boh-boh or Boob-oh). The "King" just came naturally.

The avatar (at time of posting) is a drawing I made while in Italy. Just a little doodle of a hobo.

My name is the title of one of my favorite jokes, which unfortunately only seems to be funny if told in person (even then, 9 out of 10 give me a blank stare). I'll tell it at the next ARGFest I promise!

Add one to the "Boring" column.

My nickname is the name of a character in Dan Simmons' "Hyperion" novels. I really (really) enjoyed those books, and the name looks kinda cool, and sounds nice. [/yawn]

My avatar is part of a painting (and a sculpture) by H.R. Giger entitled: "the Birth Machine" (it's the same guy who designed "Alien"). I like that painting a lot. I have it on my wall, and I have that character tattooed on my left arm. [/double yawn]

Well the nickname started, when one day I was on msn messenger and used the name "Lola" as a joke. Everyone liked it and the next day everyone was calling me "Lola".

And I added "oftheunknown" because I spent many years lurking around the forum and at some times posted as "unknown" and I like being from the unknown..

Oh, and the avatar I don't have one because I don't know how to put it up.. also I need one that suits the name, anyone wanna make one?

Thanks for reading..! Very Happy

Mikey, don't tell fibs - we all know there was no Googling involved there and that it's your prized pooch. There's no shame in admitting it (well actually, there is, but meh) Laughing
