I know it must have been done many times before, but humor the newbie.

I'll let you guys guess mine:
A) Likes fishing
B) Has big speakers
C) Ricer that thinks he's hot because his speakers make every part of his POS rattle.
D) Your guess is as good as mine

I'll post the answer later

well if you know me then you know what the 'Love' stands for in my name. Here's a little reminder for you people;) And the name Danny, well thats what people call me.

The avatar, well to be honest, I dont know why I chose that icon. Maybe cause i'm blind when it comes down to love? i dunno :)

The name? Umm... That should be obvious.

The icon? I dunno, after I got myself banned way back when I needed a different icon than the tech icon I had been using. So I grabbed this one. Been using it ever since, don't plan on changing. Unless they offer me a Viper logo...

Hmm...

:)

My name started out as Stoere Henk, Stoere is Dutch for though but said like that its like how your little brother says it. After that it became Ferme Piet. Ferme is same as Stoere but really old-fashion (like 400 years old) for the international look of things I changed it to FirmPete because of the Ferm/Firm resemblence in sound (not meaning)

So my name has three jokes in it and I admitt are all not that good...

My realname is nor Henk nor Pete though

Edit: Just checked a dictionary: Firm is a direct translation of Stoer... Damn! It never meant to mean the same, letts hope its out of context like that.
