So, in other words, he's prime breeding stock. :salut:

I wore shirt and sweater combinations like that in the 70's and early 80's, but that's not me.

It's James Dallas Egbert III. Kinda surprised no one either recognized or mentioned it.

I was angry at Egbert for a number of years because I considered him to have brought disrepute on gamers with his actions.

Now, I am more sympathetic with his flaws. I decided not to go on using his picture as an avatar because I don't think it's cool to joke about him anymore.

Also, some people thought my new avatar was creepy.

Egbert is to Tom Hanks as Raggi is to Sean Bean.

I recently saw a video of Raggi and think the analogy is more "as Raggi is to Weird Al Yankovic" or at least a chubby Weird Al Yankovic.

Mine is the Mind Flayer from the Pool of Radiance series of games.

RPGâ€™s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. Itâ€™s bonded me together with life long friends...itâ€™s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

Mine is a Toni Diterlizzi piece of art from the Planescape books. I also own the piece.

I've never had an avatar on any forum. I am a bit of a Luddite I guess. I've never got around to reading up on how to do it ..... ah I see, it's as simple as visiting one's profile and uploading a picture.

Don't have so many amusing files on my computer, but I'll start out by being a Modal Node ..... :alien:
