woooo i grew up in gosforth. p.s - can we still call morrissey a decent musician after the utter utter arse bilge that he released recently? im activley avoiding his album for fear my ears will bleed. plus - hes such a huge arrogant, self obsessed nob!

good in the day, old and trying to cling on now. his new song sounds like every other indie song ever written.

personally, i think you look a little like Neo - possibly vacationing in blackpool. and that cant be bad.

Unlike gtidey, I made my username witty! And it's a pun on the Traveller game I love. (A space-opera roleplaying game. Just can't get enough of massive empires, starships, and strange new cultures!)

My avatar is an obvious, natural illustration of my username.

I came across this cute little guy and I had to have him. Not really much logic put into it.

"Anthy" being the name of a stuffed penguin I was given by a very, very dear friend of mine.

The name indeed comes from Anthrax, suggested by a different friend fond of telling "jokes" that revolved around the latest disease/ epidemic sweeping the world at that time.

I bring him everywhere with me and he is a good companion! When choosing my hotmail address oh so many years ago, I discovered my first choice, "anthy," already taken, so went with "anthyp," the p standing for penguin, or my last name (which begins with a p).

He is fond of cursing and alcohol but does little except sleep.

Well, I may have gotten the idea for my avatar from this photo. My friend is the maiden head. I'm the pirate. What can I say? I'm a pirate born 200 years too late. This photo was taken in the playroom at The House of Seven Gables in Salam, Mass.

Hi,

My avatar is Donald "Rumy" Rumsfield shaking hands with Saddam Hussien during the Reagan Administration. This is AFTER Saddam used chemical weapons on his own people. Now that Rumy and co. have found no WMD they claim that we went to war because Saddam was such a bad guy who oppressed his people. But here is Rumy, fully informed, right after the most devistating case of abuse in which thousands died at a meeting with Saddam in which we supplied Saddam with MORE weapons to fight the war with Iran. This is what American politics has come to: bald faced lies. These people have got to go!

Denise,

Your powers of deduction are stunning. The bald faced liars need to go would be the right answer for $500. Thanks we've got some wonderful parting gifts for you back stage.

My avatar is in place in the hopes that the grammar/spelling police will leave me alone! If I concede it is terrible, maybe they won't feel a need to point it out. Embarassed So far, it's worked!
