My name is the worst pronunciation of my actual name that I ever heard, over the morning announcements, back in high school.

My real name looks and sounds absolutely nothing like Argembarger. It was such an awful butchering that I wouldn't have even realized they were talking about me if the announcement wasn't about our debate club win just the previous day.

Aaaand the nickname stuck, hahaha. Mostly due to my own efforts.

My old avatar was a photoshop I made myself of a bunch of retro video game characters striking the earth to found their own dwarf fortress. My current one is the Wayward Vagabond from Homestuck in Mayor Derp Mode.

Oh and my custom message...

It's a mystery :D

Well, it's actually a massive corruption of my family name, and because of that, I'm afraid I'll have to "Bartleby, the Scrivener" your question.

My first name is Tom, however.

My username? Thought it up on a whim like five years ago.

Avatar? Inaluct made it. There was this big thing on the forums a while back, you guys are probably too young to remember.

I'd like to remind everyone that half of the time I don't even know what I'm talking about. The other half of the time I only sort of know what I'm talking about.

I came up with AntiAntiMatter a while back, applied it as my username because it sounded cool, was unique, and it was the first suitable possibility to pop into my head. My avatar was snagged off of photobucket, and was chosen due to awesomeness.

Grae is my first name.
And don’t all dwarfs have beards?
That is my story.

I thought what's funny?
And also has beards in it?

I think my username comes from Weebl and Bob (Oh my eyes, when they see Burnt Pies, they increase in size.), and I've used it since I played runescape at the age of 11.

Avatar is a cartoonised Terry Pratchett with a Mortarboard with a duck on top. I used the non-cartoonised version on another forum, then one of the guys there made me this one, which I've used on every forum I frequent.

Antiantimatter, your avatar looks very familiar, I think it's from a game called "Billy Hatcher and The Giant Egg", but i'm not exactly sure. I tried looking it up, but made no progress.

Hard to explain. I wanted something punny, and I happened to be looking at a chicken. Unfortunately the first website I tried to sign up on with bocks was taken. Thus breadbocks.

My avvy was from a random image search. I get a new one every few months.

Username:  Been using it for years after reading a book called "Mythago Wood" by Robert Holdstock.  Not a very interesting book, IMHO, but I loved the name so I took it and use it on most forums.

Avatar:  Well the damn thing keeps changing to something Touhou related since I love the series and they're adorable.  (Can't exactly have a post about Suwako when I'm not using her ATM.)
