What? You mean you weren't a professional wrestler?Since I changed my avatar a couple of times, thought the need to update my story; but I see it should still apply with my current one

That looks like a line art drawing from an old Dungeons & Dragons manual. Maybe Larry Elmore?View attachment 97555
My Avatar is a version of this image which I don't know exactly where it originates.
I used to share many of my surround-sound creations on a certain website and an admirer of my work started making "disk art" for my compilation albums. I had started using the alias of "Methuselah's Grandpa" for myself instead of my real name and I suppose this person found this wizard-looking grandpa character somewhere and started using it on his custom art-work for my mixes. I went with the flow & decided to just permanently adopt it and the name despite myself not actually being THAT old or even a grandpa for that matter!
Could be, ...I'm not really familiar with D&D but I just did a quick google search for that & although I didn't see the exact drawing, it looks to be close to that style for sure.That looks like a line art drawing from an old Dungeons & Dragons manual. Maybe Larry Elmore?
does a 4 eared cat need an explanation?I started my career in the recording industry at Trident Studios as a tea-boy. My first day I took a tray of tea to the mix room for Queen, who were mixing 'Killer Queen'
Quite the start!! SWTx
Hey that's really cool: Trident had mugs like that back in the 70's?I started my career in the recording industry at Trident Studios as a tea-boy. My first day I took a tray of tea to the mix room for Queen, who were mixing 'Killer Queen'
Quite the start - although this image is from more almost 50 years later.... SWTx (but an original 70's Trident mug)
Sure! I played a lot of the Lucasarts graphic adventure games as a youth in the early/mid 1990s. Sam and Max were created by Steve Purcell, whose day job was as an artist for Lucasarts. In 1994 or so he licensed the characters to his employer and they made the game Sam & Max Hit the Road. The line struck me as kind of hilarious and unlikely, and I've occasionally used it as a screen name. Amusingly I don't think I'm the only person to use it - it's not always available when I've tried.Good to see this thread active again. I think choices a member makes about this very interesting. Except for those that have a colored circle with a "W" or whatever in the middle.
The one I find most eclectic & amusing belongs to @ubertrout . Check out Post #129. I mean this is crazy. Who is Sam and Max? What is Warsaw Pact Socialist Television? Now that we know the story behind ubertrout's avatar he can share the story behind the story.
Jedi Knight, Dark Forces II was amazing for it's time: very immersive world. Sometimes I'd just wander around & exploreSure!

In addition to that game there's been three more games made by Telltale, and there was a one-season run of a kids cartoon of Sam & Max as well, along with a run of comic books.
I didn't recognize Ozzy: thought he was some folk singer like Nick Drake etc!I've told my story before, and it's not so thrilling. My avatar is of course, a young Ozzy. Sabbath is my favorite band, seems I never find a fitting picture of the band that fits or shows nicely as an avatar, so I choose Ozzy. Also, I loved him as their lead man....and his initial solo career was staggeringly good in the early 80's.
User name? GOS
Again, I always thought Ozzy's solo effort Ozzmosis was a cool name, so I took first letter of my name G, slapped OS on the end and GOS was born. lol
Also, actually, if I remember.....my original user name was gosmosis, and I requested it to be shortened. Yes, I *******ized the spelling of Ozzmosis, but you know.
