I probably shouldn't ask, but if Gobi comes etymologically from Gobi_wan, why have Darth Maul as the pic as that's just confusing my head!!!?
My pic is just legs when I was actually doing some muddy running, which is rare for me as I hate mud. But my wife tells me my legs are one of my better looking features (!), so I'd best show my optimal side!

The Scribbler
I was originally Spacegal when I joined Fetch as this was an avatar name I used elsewhere at the time and is linked to my love of David Bowie.
I love writing and work as a marketing copywriter, so I also had a blog called The Scribbler. When I started blogging on Fetch and realised what a rich and wonderful source of writing it was, I switched to The Scribbler.
I love it when I get shouts of 'Scribbler' or 'Scribbs' when I race and like my 'Smell of' nickname which is QSTIS (cheers Greppers).

I do think it’s funny how you have nicknames for nicknames on ‘smell of...’
Actually, there are some similar nicknames for nicknames on the 700 thread. Formerly and Latterly for Sombrero and Lazy Daisy. Mostly they’ve been coined by Fleecy.

Angus Clydesdale
Angus - county in NE Scotland where I live & work, and which I love.
Clydesdale - with a lifelong love of heavy working horses I’ve always loved the aspirational statement of the breed description. This combined with my own stature (front row rugby player, back in the day) and the modern colloquialism for a weighty athlete made for a combination.
I liked the fact that it almost sounded like a real person too. And then I discovered that there’s actually a number of real Angus Clydesdales out there (notably related to the peerage! That Angus Clydesdale was an officer in the RAF and a racing driver in the late '60s). Hopefully none of them mind too much...
I use AngusClydesdale as a "go-by" in nearly all of my athletic correspondence and I sometimes forget my real name isn’t Angus. I also like my "Smell..." diminutive of Ankh.
Meanwhile Disney recently did me the honour of naming the Clydesdale horse in "Brave" after me!
My avatar was originally the phantom flan-flinger; I hoped it conveyed a sense of capricious mischief without cruel intent. The flinger still makes an occasional festive appearance. A few years ago when I was feeling a bit low I worked up an avatar representing an old friend which often makes an appearance in April and November.
But mostly these days I’m Ralph, because there's no-one I’d rather be than me.

My name is the village I live in rolled into a single word. If I move, I won't change it!
My avatar is a picture of me taken at the end of a trail race in which I face planted for the first time.
