Originally the ZF stood for "Zeta Force" this stupid gamer clan I was in (years ago) but I kept it in the name because people recognize me by it on forums now. Let's just say that now it stands for Zvika Force; Zvika was the Israeli tanker who held off the entire Syrian army by himself for about 20 hours, changing tanks each time his was destroyed, and he became known as Zvika Force.
Boxcar is an obscure Simpsons reference. In the episode where Homer becomes a boxer, he fights all these "boxcar" guys, and one of them is "Boxcar Ira" (my name is Ira)...yeah, pretty bad choice in name, but I'm stuck with it
My sig is a Winston Churchill quote translated into Latin...I've been meaning to change it lol.
My Avatar is obvious.

When I was little I read the autobiography of Roald Dahl, a former RAF fighter pilot and later author. In it, he recalls his main foe, the "one-o-nine" (Messerschmitt Bf-109). For some reason I was drawn to the airplane that has probably shot down more than any other, and 109 became one of my favorite numbers.Maybe obvious to some but not to others...you could also explain why you wanted to use 109.
Just assume that you are explaining it to someone who has only a cursory knowledge of....anything

Oh, I'm not shooting at his avatar, I just can't understand such a strange choice.Hey hey hey...watch that talk about Worchestershire sauce!
And while you're at it, explain that avatar!!
As for mine - sorry, forgot to go into that.
It's the city coat-of-arms (stadtwappen) for Bad Aibling, my favorite place in the world. It represents the best four years of my life.

Very well. It represents the Anglosphere, and I chose it because I think it is the most free and powerful group of nations the world has ever seen and the nations I feel most strongly for (even though I'm not "Anglo" lol but then again, I imagine most Canadians, Americans and maybe even Aussies aren't) because of that freedom.Is it? C'mon guys tell us why you chose these things

parihaka's avatar is rather ammusing (don't take it the wrong way) because the sauce doesn't seem to be an avatar that is so appropriate. anyway it's just a feeling for myself.
Yes yes, which is why I didnt ask you to explain yours....although I should have.
Cough splutter....Because it is the very best sauce in the world Sir. Harumph.......
Ah, but what of those of us mercifully blessed with a lack of common sense?
agreed!!!!!!!!!!
My predilection for 'wooster' sauce is explained in the recipes part of "A butter cookie with nuts"
I think you were AWOL when this thread was at it's height
Some like Aeroplanes, others Condiments.do you like that sauce so that it influence you into making that as your avatar? why the sauce? why not any other?
Long may freedoms ramparts stand.
HAH!

Ouch!!!Maybe obvious to some but not to others...you could also explain why you wanted to use 109.
