Backstory behind your avatar?

It involves my fathers deathbed confession and I simply can't discuss it.
 

I've always had something of an obsession with brand mascots – the first thing I remember seeing on TV was an ad with the GEICO gecko – and, in my personal pantheon, Fido Dido is far and away the best. I love everything about him: his scribbly look, his cool-but-principled personality, the way he's animated in the original ads, his skat theme music, how he wears a t-shirt with his own face on it, his insanely late-80s/early-90s family, the fact that he's generally associated with doodling... Everything!

I think Fido Dido might just be my favourite cartoon character ever, and that's saying a lot. He's Fido Dido... and don't you forget it!

I finally get to comment on your avatar! Surprised nevet found the chance in all our interactions. Well now my chance (funny enough me making this thread was a coincidence. It only hit me moments like that I have a chance)

Fido Dido is my dude. I always scratched my head at people associating 7 Up with Cool spot because I literally never heard of cool spot prior to going on the internet and Fido is way cooler than cool spot.

It even further perplexed when there’s a brief internet rivalry 15 years ago of pepsiman vs cool spot and I was like what about FD??? It’s weird cuz I’m sure he’s American but Americans don’t seem to remember him. Maybe he had his life span cut off? Well he had an extended honey moon here. Funny thing is that I see Americans associate pepsiman with being Japanese or foreign which is true but it made me realize he wasn’t promoted in the US. Meanwhile we grew up with the video game. So I had an authentic childhood with both pepsiman and fido dido?
 
It's the T-1000 from Terminator 2. At first, I was looking for something cool and this caught my eye. I also kinda look at it as me just looking on to the state of the world and stuff like that. A bit corny I know but that's what i think. Also, I never actually watched T2 lol. I need to change that.

You're gonna love T2, enjoy!
 
I like Len.
