My avatar is a pretty realistic facsimile of what I actually look like.

Mine is from the picture file pre-loaded on my laptop when I bought it. The koala, though not an actual bear, resembles the dancing bear logo of my favorite band, which is copyrighted so I couldn't use the actual logo. I settled for a cheap Australian knockoff instead.

Coke made a drink called Blak which happens to be my last name so it seemed fitting. The drink itself was horrible, hence it not being sold anymore. My screen name is just a play on words that I find really funny.

Fukutomi Juichi, a character from Yowamushi Pedal anime series that has a similar personality as me. Nick name stone face for his lack of expression. A man of very few words except, "I AM STRONG!" Although I am not strong I like to pretend I am.

Eeyore has kind of become my totem. Always the cheerful optimist, you know.

My favorite episode was where scientists, in order to frighten the human race so they would come together, mutated a human into an alien form, and sent him up in a rocket and crashed landed it on earth.

Photo of an actual Sugino Cycloid inner ring I bought long ago and never used. I did use a 42(?) tooth version for a while when I was running a 1X setup on a Cannondale hybrid in the 90's.

I just changed mine because I found a humorous pic online and thought it'd be good to use, however, it's kind of hard to see in the tiny avatar. So I'll post the full sized pic here:
This picture is the story of my life.
