The words I leave in forums, along with what thoughts I share, are a written avatar of myself. Thus, I selected "Avatar" as my RAT name. 
So no, it has nothing to do with a certain TV show(which I was unaware of until about a year ago), nor the BattleTech 'mech, nor any other game. Or Hinduism, for that matter. Just FYI, since I'm tired of people assuming any of those are the source behind it.
There I was thinking you were just lazy and unimaginative!

You wouldn't be the first.
I even include it in my signature over at the Steve Jackson forums.

Well, being a Murray I have always been called 'Muzza' (which is I think in linguistics called secondary rhotacism where a double 'r' is turned into a 'z' - please correct that if anyone knows for sure - but hence barry=Bazza, Garry=Gazza etc).
Getting back on topic :oops: , I have never really been a 'Muzza' (I prefer Mur as a nickname - like myrrh - delusions of grandeur!) but once at uni in the early 90s we were making up Japanese-esque names for each other and I got 'Muzzaguchi' which I liked and have used online ever since. (my other name early on was VMEBFAS - no one could understand it nor what it stood for - Victor Mature and Ernest Borgnine Film Appreciation Society - still only 3 members)
Another option was my name turned into heiroglyphs Mu-Ra which AFAIKR means 'mouth of Ra' - but I was never a fan of Egypt. And once I became a member with the name 'Sextus Julius Frontinus' (which is the only Roman name I would ever choose -
see here and search for 'career and writings of Frontinus'- but I felt so utterly unworthy that I never returned to that forum and have been muzzaguchi ever since).
That was long winded and probably more about me than any of you ever wished to know.
hock: :lol:
Cheers

Know what you mean about the Bazza/Gazza thing

Gods, sometimes writing is too limited when it comes to conveying meaning.
