Ayespy

@JoaBravo Looks for all the world like Bob Cratchit leaning over his desk. Now I will have to find out.

Ayespy

@JoaBravo It's a character from the Russian stop-motion animated film Hoffmaniada, released in 2018. All of the characters in the film are puppets that have exaggerated noses of one kind or another, to aid in expressing their personality types. The Film's concept and all of its art design were by Mikhail Shemyakin and it was directed by Stanislav Sokolov. The film is based on stories by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann. Its "hero" is a young lawyer named Ernst Hoffmann, and I think the puppet you see in that avatar is he.

Here is a bust of Hoffman: https://deacademic.com/pictures/dewiki/49/170px-ETA_Hoffmann_bln.JPG

@Ayespy

Very grateful.

In my life, there was a period when I was very attracted to Charles Dickens.

It all started when a publishing company launched a collection here with new monthly books / authors, called "Clássicos Imortais" (immortal classics). Distributed on newsstands for some time. I bought a fair number of them, not all. The 1970s were on their way.
Charles Dickens had been present with "As aventuras de Mr. Pickwick". It was enough for me to fall in love and run for more books and films based on his literary works.

The choice of the nickname by the user (Hoffmann44) reinforces your assumption and I would bet my 10 cents that he is 44 yo - the user.

Flap - @MoonDawg Souvenirs.

I intend to share these "souvenirs from my alter-ego" publications with @MoonDaug. My topic will have its meaning expanded - and how!

I am thinking of inviting any user who wants to join, to add, each one, excerpts, memories, whatever, from Moondawg.

My initial thoughts go to @Catweazle, relying on my memories of how adept he was at a specific topic: "Nothing but (sick) jokes". I believe I am quoting the title verbatim.

Who knows, by doing this, Cat might even kill the lack of adding this kind of content?

@JoaBravo , now family friendly jokes

1 - For Users Avatars - An evoker image of endearment and poetry and (a lot) of love. Or am I hypersensitive today??

2- For Best Answer Users - A happy discovery which convulsed my mind, feelings and has much surprised and enchanted me.

In this aspect, it is due to say he has 222 as reputation and 7 as published posts! A prowess that would give him 3,171.43!!! percentual points.
We may see from his profile that he is here since 08/06/2015. His first post date is 08/06/2015, the date of his joining.

He published other 3 post only on 11/12/2019!!! And the last 3 ones, on 02/05/2020. A valious oyster perfecting its precious pearls under a golden silence.

He launched a topic "Switch to disable picture-in-picture / video popout icon" and in the launching post, he already won 189 points. A theme whose subject is being target from the aversion from very good guys/dames here.

Such a long interval, showing the golden quality of his silence. Congratulations.

I find his profile worthy of some visits, not to mention many visits.

I could not resist. Do you know which user this icon corresponds to today?

He's very, very well known. I will miss the previous avatar. It seemed to fit his body, mind and soul to perfection. "Enfin" ... complaints that are eager to manifest will be blocked.

@JoaBravo I noticed the change yesterday. A brand new personality Amazing!

Brief observations on the specific female gender for the word dragon.

In my language, there is a controversial female gender for dragon (dragão, male - dragoa, female).

In English, here on the forums, I think I've read Gwen mentioned as dragoness.

In German, is there a specific designation for female dragon?

And in French?

Spanish, Italian?

hlehyaric

@JoaBravo As far as I know (I checked in dictionaries), there's only one word in French: «dragon» (un/le dragon).

Now, justly myself!
My previous avatar have had a bitter connotation about its meaning.

When I used to be quinca71 I placed here a comment about "zucchini talkers". Briefly saying, this comes from a Brazilian expression referring to the quality of the matters aroused by some persons. If those are little relevant, banal, even futile, are referred as "papo abobrinha" (something like "zucchini talks", the author as "zucchini talker").

I continue proclaiming myself as the master of Zucchini talkers here on these forums. That is, without contestations, who wins greater reputation points within these species of content.

So, I decided change my avatar. Instead of joá (or juá), precisely to you, darling zucchinis!

Besides, I have to do as important members and users have done, last times.

If the following users and members have done it, why not me?

Ra-mon? Oh, come-on.
Gwen-Dragon? If didn't do, on the floor I'd drag-on.
BlackDaug? I would become gauche to log.
Pafflick? - I could stay in a feeling of afflick

Maybe my last prowess...
