Gotta pay that, er, Glis, However I now feel self-conscious about calling you by name. What's the formal title for a demigod? (Unlike the formal title for a demagogue which, at this time, is POTUS.)
I like to keep things simple. My name and avatar are of my current dog Harry. Prior to adopting him last year, on a couple of previous sites I used the name and photo of my old dog Ruby, who has passed away. I miss her.

Harry or Ruby? Ruby is the picture I posted here. Harry is the avatar. Ruby was the sweetest dog and in her younger days extremely mischievous. I have never had a dog with a wicked sense of humor before. Best dog I've ever had. Once I trained her, she helped me with training fosters for rehoming.
The real Harry just a little freaking pain in the goat buttocks. Hahaha!
When I was just a little boy, I asked my mother, what will I be. "Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?" Here's what she said to me... "You're a goat, you fool. That's all you'll ever be." I embraced my divinity, sent from above, and joined in the revelry. When I grew up and fell in love, I asked my lover, "What will I be? Will I be lonesome day after day? Here's what he said to me... "You don't wash your pits enough, There is a stench that one can not stand. If you would bathe and wear some cologne, you might stand a chance."
Whooooooooooooooooooooa, the future's not ours to see WTF, WTF
When I first got online about a thousand years ago I chose the name Wallstar. I pulled that out of the air. It seemed like something I had seen every day. That I wondered just where I had seen it, so I started watching for it. I finally found it at work in the men's room. The urinal had a green screen with the brand name Allstar in white letters, and the reflection of the overhead light made a white W in front, so it said WAllstar. I had named myself after a urinal screen!
Jewels Vern was the name of a board that I ran in the BBS days. I forget why I called it that. It was certainly a forgettable experience.
On my chess site somebody started a group for born again Christians. I asked if I could join and represent the opposition. When I was refused I added a couple of horns to my picture and changed the name of my chess blog to Dozy's Inferno. (Dozy is my user name on chess.com.) When I joined Ask.com I thought I should have a good side to go with my bad side and added the head with the halo.
There's a story behind Dozy but it's irrelevant. I switched to Didge because a character in my novel had a didgeridoo he could use to summon up the spirits of the land.
When I looked it up I saw that it was a Romany flag. Travellers are harder to pin down. I once met a Wendish gypsy and that's another world again. Interesting woman.
