Great idea Big Mickie. My avatar just happened. When my son was little (he's now 30) he called himself 'zooming man'—he was always moving at warp speed. When I had to give a name it just came to me. I typed it in expecting it to be taken already; but I got it.
Have a happy and entertaining long weekend.

Their dog looks EXACTLY like your avatar.
I had forgotten about Wamba ... I think I need to see a picture of that dog.

I know that Serenity has no weapons but she does pretty good with her engines. That and the fact that I figured Serenity needed to be mentioned.
