My avatar is Ricky from Trailer Park Boys, my favorite TV show.

It's not Clint Eastwood??

For a while I thought it was from this picture...

Old default username. Wish I would thought about a better name when I signed up.

Someday I will make up for it with the best avatar EVER!

Well, consider this...

We've never seen the 3 of them in a room at exactly the same time, so....

 

[GreshamH]

We're onto something.

James Dean never really died!!!

 

[gerbilbox]

gerbilbox..."gerbil" because my best friend bestowed me the nickname by accident to describe my hair cut many years ago. I'm unsure where "box" came from, but it's a variation to register for a site because someone else had stolen "gerbil" as a user name.

My avatar: I am a polyp. No, it's a strawberry anemone (Corynactis californica) photo I took during an invertebrate zoology class at UC Davis. It's not an anemone but a corallimorph, but either way it's one of my favorite photos and one of my favorite California invertebrates.

[FunGuy]

Per Wikipedia - A fungus (pronounced /ˈfʌŋɡəs/; pl. fungi[3] or funguses[4]) is a member of a large group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds (British English: moulds), as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, Fungi, which is separate from plants, animals, and bacteria.

Fungi - So per above and because mushroom are one of the many corals we have, my favorite type being the Yuma, plus the fact that I am a fun guy gave me the name FunGuy... Yes, so ingenious (sarcastically speaking).

My Avatar - which I thought I had wasn't, is now... It is pretty self explanatory again. It's me and my usual outfit you'd find me in... Sometimes however you see my twin brother Toad , a mushroom kingdom citizen, running around in those Super Mario Brothers games.

You antisocial? :O

 

[Vincerama2]

Oops, apparently I don't have an avatar.

Also the '2' is because I used "Vincerama" on Reefcentral and then immediately forgot my password, so I created another Vincerama2 nickname. Lame, yes, but that's the story behind '2'
