savoirfaire

avatar

savoirfaire is a french term meaning : "Know-how". Someone who has an understanding of most things.

my avatar is a scroll of a violin. It's been a major part of my life, has allowed me to travel worldwide, release two CDs, and meet all sorts of famous and interesting people. The music-related picture I thought was also appropriate given the site.

The name is just a shotened version of my full name. Nothing special there. The picture of Prince is just one of my favorites. I like the black+white shots he did around this time, plus noone else was using it at the time. Since someone else is using it now for theirs, I've been thinking of changing it. Any ideas would be welcome.

Teller is my real name, believe it or not, though I may have something important to tell you. smile

My avatar is a snippet of one of my Skeleton Trading Cards which you can find by clicking on my signature. These guys represent the creative process--if you go all the way back to card #1, you'll see what I mean.

BattierBeMyDaddy...

As I've explained before..."Who's your daddy? Battier!" used to be a big Shane Battier cheer during his time at Duke University. Any time he took a charge or made a three, or did something really kick ass, Cameron errupted in the "Who's your daddy?" chant...I made this name originally on AIM several years ago. Eventually, I realized it could be perceived as sexual. Whoops!


I'm glad you mentioned this. I always thought it was something sexual too.innocent

Creamychemist: Cream is a great song, and well, I suppose it could mean other things...and I'm a chemistry PhD student. I thought it would fit.

My avatar used to be the one and only mole - if you've taken any chemistry classes you know what I'm talking about. (and if you haven't taken any chem you should!) Now its a girl earlenmeyer flask and a boy test tube. I got a kick out of it anyway! (thanks Zum!)

No Google, I swear! Isn't a mole a large number of molecules? 34 million or something like that?

sabaisabai

avatar

My org name is a Thai word/phrase. 'Sabai' means 'well', 'relaxed', that kind of thing, and I think 'sabai sabai' takes it further. Also, my web site is at sabaisabai.org.

The avetar is a Thai singer/songwriter called Tai Tanawut. He's got some good stuff. I've used his pic as an avetar for no good reason except that I could smile
Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop.

Biscuit is what I would name my dog when I get one,
but for now I'll use it for The Org. I don't eat actually
biscuits that often, only once in awhile. They're good with
butter if you didn't know.

My avatar is one I found off of Habbibi's site, and I just
liked it. He's working the curl in that pic!

adoreme

My name is probably just wishful thinking...

Favourite Prince song is Adore and a friend of mine who hangs on here occasionally (Hi Matt!), and is an amazing musician himself has a song called Adore Me which I love.

My avatar is a really unusual picture of Madonna, my other idol.

Freedom is my favorite word.
I enjoy being free from fear of the future. AND it is the name of a Prince song (Duh).

Child, because I am a rainbow child.

Avitar = what I do for a living, work in the field of transfusion alternatives.

The name is a combination of my first and middle names.

The picture is an ad of Billy Dee Williams selling Colt45. That ad convinced me that if I drank lots of beer I could get beautiful women . . . Billy Dee didn't mention that after a couple of cans of Colt, even the guys looked like beautiful women . . .

gooeythehamste
r

Gooey The Hamster is of course a Bill Watterson reference.

In his genial comic called Calvin & Hobbes, the father of Calvin always reads a bedtime story about the same heroes; Hamster Huey And The Gooey Kablooey.

When getting bored at work I tried to register as Hamster Huey there had been someone else already who had registered in this name, same as Huey_The_Hamster. So, instead, I became Gooey The Hamster. I had loads of fun looking for a kewl hamster pic.

Admire it here; http://profiles.yahoo.com...he_hamster

Avatar-wsie, the story about my online name explains itself; it is Calvin, just hit by a stroke of evil genius.
I love the pic lots.

My name is pretty self-explanatory. My name is Carrie, and I live in Minneapolis.

My current avatar is of Emily Strange. A 13 year-old character with a posse of 4 cats (named Sabbath, NeeChee, Miles and Mystery) and they all pretty much kick ass.

You can visit her at www.emilystrange.com

whoops...

geminito

avatar

geminito: Gemini + TO.
I'm a Gemini and live in Toronto (aka, "T.O."). Also, I love how Prince called himself Gemini for the Batman soundtrack and took on the personalities of both Batman/Bruce Wayne and the Joker. He really got into the characters and ran with it! Batman is the first album I ever owned, a gift from my brother.

My avatar is a picture from a cartoon that I only vaguely remember from when I was a kid. It's a French cartoon called "The Secret Railroad", and that character is Simon (I think). I like his scarf... The cartoon disturbed me as a child, and I'm still recovering. My profile has a picture from the show of the train flying through the underground. I still don't understand it.

Flying trains underground. Cool scarf.

The French are MESSED! I love them...

Jack Flash was my college nickname (virtually no one knew me by my real name).
