    If you don't mind, why did you choose your avatar?
    Looking at mine, you can see a very honourable lady, my grandma!
    Making the best Sauerbraten and baking the best Apfelstrudel she also was damn good looking, wasn't she?:D

    For me it is quite obvious with the nickname. On the otherhand, nickname has been something I've been using on several games and boards for a long time with couple of other options, if TheGrunt is reserved or something. Why the grunt? There is some truth behind the nickname, although it is little bit "applied". So it is not just something invented for Battlefield games for the lulz or because it sounds cool.

    Berlinette Renault.
    My grandfather bought one. Then one day he took my grandmother for a 500 km day trip (250 + 250) on the small roads of his country.
    When they came back, she said to him, i will never go with you into this car.
    He sold the car and bought a Mercedes. lol

    Souvenir,souvenir.

    Because for me it captures some personal traits (good and bad) I like to think I represent, each to some extent (I hope)... Loyalty, seriousness, respect and stubbornness, mixed with a (self-)ironic view of me and the world.
    And of course the gesture is a salute to my Swedish overlords. Hail Sonat. :p

    Also, I'm bald(ing). Could be me in 40 years :D

    that's even more disturbing... ;)
    But seriously, always struggled with your name. Is it shards-hunt or shard-shunt or how is it sposed to be read, and does it mean anything?

    I say shards hunt but their is no official way. shortens to shunt in game. also its sort of a runescape thing.

    also anime is nichijou, possibly the best comedy anime out their.
