We should probably avoid dropping real names on the forum, just to be on the safe side. (One of the reasons I use a credible screen name is to keep things separate.)

You're right, I wouldn't want people yelling "I SHOT GOD IN THE FACE" at me in the street.

I think 'some' people used it. Regardless, it's not exactly a challenge to find my identity. (In fact, it's nigh-impossible to find my real identity on the Internet.)

I think I actually posted a picture of myself in cosplay back on BWTF (most of my face was concealed by bushy fur anyways). Don't recall why, but I remember Trinacron commenting something to the effect that he "thought I'd be fatter".

...Do I SOUND fat?

I have no idea. In fact, I have no idea what the hell you look like. Right now, I'm imagining you as Brock Sampson. With Octopunch's body.

Now that's a creature you don't wanna piss off.

...I see your point though, I think everyone subconsciously pictures other posters as their avatars. BAHNINGU HANMAAHHH!! Which is why Dom is just a gaseous cloud that saves kittens, in my mind.

This is where prowl's sig gets him into a heap of trouble. =p

I shall post pictures of my next cosplay over Easter, most likely, just for yuks.

I don't know why I still have Kobashi as my pic. Seriously.

The only reason he has it is because of something I said 'years ago.' That's awesome. :P

You have truly created a monster!

I hope people recognise where my sig comes from, but I'm not sure it wasn't only in the Marvel UK comics, and I dunno how much exposure they got in the States...

Ah heck, who am I kidding? I change my sig every day anyway. It's part of the Magic of Gomess.
