What're yours about?
The picture is my welding helmet, painted it up for fun. Hmhaines is pretty simple: my name is Harvey Milledge Haines.

My avatar is a classic painting I found online. Embarrassed later to learn that it was used by Ed Green, our resident expert on artwork with pipes. He selected a new one as I was offering to change mine to something else. A good guy.
Name is from an old email, easy to remember.

it's not just a name, not a demonic reference, it's how I live my life, unconventional, out side the box, not within the social norm

Mine is sorta a combination of things. I've been referred to as "sasquatch" or "bigfoot" for many years by friends. So when I first joined a PA fly fishing forum, it seemed natural that my screen name be, "The Sasquatch". Then, many of my fly fishing buddies started referring to me as "the reverend", "reverend 'squatch", "reverent Sasquatch", etc. This is due to the fact that as long as some of them have known me, I've been in college and now seminary pursuing "the ministry". I'm not a "reverend" yet (just a pastoral intern), but the name kinda stuck and I kinda liked it. "The Sasquatch" was already taken on this site, so I went w/ reverendsasquatch.
The avatar is a fly fishing sasquatch. Self explanatory.

Always scraps of tobacco around anywhere I go with my pipe.
Avatar... made it from the Peanuts Movie website and drew in the pipe. I figure its a somewhat close approximation of what I look like.

I'm Pennsylvania Dutch and I'm fat from eating all that good Dutch cooking. Avatar, that me in all my glory sitting on the back deck surveying the back acre.

Mine is simply my name, Anthony Rosenthal, and the year I was born, 1974. Doesn't get much simpler than that. My avatar is just me with one of my Nordings stuck in my ugly mug. I have a full beard going on now though, so I might update it.

 
My name is Michael, but since college, I've been called Cosmic by my friends. I also have a business called Cosmic Folklore Studios.

The picture is of me lighting my pipe at night.
It seems like I have written this a few different times in other threads asking the same thing. Eh, but maybe those threads got too long or something.

Not that I take astrology seriously; Ochiuphus is the 13th zodiacal sign, not used in the west, and encompasses my birthday. It just looks cool in print.
Though I've worn many hats, first and foremost I'm a composer. Bernard Herrmann is one of my favorites, so I used a picture of him with a pipe, though he was primarily a chain smoker of cigarettes as I have been in the past.

My avatar is Marty Feldman from one of my favorite movies (Young Frankenstein).

My name is Mark and I'm a fine, if not so young lad, hence the screen name.

It's short for Tyrannosaurus Lex, the most fearsome legal dinosaur ever to walk the earth. (I'm a lawyer and adjunct law professor.)
The avatar seems pretty obvious.

It is me smoking a cigar on the avatar, the photo was taken few years ago, I don't have a good photo of mine smoking a pipe so had to use this one instead. My name is Javanshir and my screen name is just my name without the vowels. Whenever you see jvnshr, it is me all the time (social networks). Javanshir was the name of a Caucasian prince by the way. Javan means young and shir (you may remember shirkhan) means lion, so I am supposed to be a young lion. I guess I should find a picture of a lion smoking a pipe and make it my avatar :) Javanshir was also name of my youngest uncle who died just before I was born. So grandpa decided that I should take the name. My dad always says that he sees me as his son and his brother, makes me proud of myself.
