[QUOTE="Mirth, post: 1129598, member: 5242"] Nope :D Since you asked, here's a long explanation that you probably don't really want to know ;) :rolleyes: My username stems from a comic book series by Matt Wagner called [i]Mage[/i]. The series is based in Arthurian themes and in it Mirth is a legless homeless man who is also Merlin (in a sense). My avatar is a picture of Mirth from a Matt Wagner sketch. In a big fight during the first part of the series, Mirth is apparently killed but actually lives on in a sort of magical etherealness (kinda like Obi-Wan). The only way that Kevin Matchstick (the Arthur analog) can access Mirth is through an ATM with a special [i]card[/i] that Mirth had given him, hence [i]mirthcard[/i]. It is also my email: [email]mirthcard@yahoo.com[/email]. After being on the boards for so long and people calling me Mirth anyway, I just decided to ask Piratecat to make the change for me. As a side note, my Half.com/eBay ID is edselbat, which is also taken from [i]Mage[/i]. Edsel (a black woman who drives an ... Edsel) is the counterpart to Lancelot & The Lady of the Lake in the series and she uses a bat to fight with. The bat is Excalibur. If I had the money, I would license the [i]Mage[/i] series and make a d20 Modern campaign out of it. It is tailormade for that system. Plus, I know Matt personally from meeting him at a con and trading emails with him for awhile (although I've lost touch with him). Anyway, that's the whole story. Although I should probably add that I'm currently finishing my Master's degree in Literature with a focus on Celtic and Arthurian literature. Way more than you wanted to know, eh Joe? Jay [/QUOTE]
