Once upon a time, there was a "copycat" fad at the MC, in which people would copy others' avatars and tweak them slightly to represent themselves. Naturally Andrusi participated in this, first copying Kulock, then Scott, who had for his avatar a sprite of "Rapied (sic) Ayeka" - a Battle Athletes character appearing in the fan-made videogame, The Queen of Heart.
Andrusi recolored the sprite to match his own, and added his trademark yellow goggles. When a few other MCers similarly copied Scott (who, ironically, had gotten the idea from Fadflamer), this became a fad in itself. (Andrusi, upon noticing this, performed a more in-depth edit, which became the subject of another injoke between himself and several friends on the Bob and George boards.
NeroMan then started a "beauty contest" involving these sprites, with the end result that dozens of Ayeka edits were produced by the MC's most talented spriters. During this contest, an argument began over who was the sexiest; Andrusi, for his part, claimed that because of the goggles, his "Andria" was sexier than the others. This joke lay dormant for a while, then reached "mandatory mention" status when Andrusi reused it, almost without realizing it, in a comic strip (now attributing the discovery that "goggles = sexy" to a particular goggled Transformer, a favorite of Andrusi's by the name of Stakeout). The whole incident also lead Andrusi to belief that "sticking your arm out = sexy". Regardless the hottest avatar was invariably agreed to be H Hog's. Edweirdo's hairy attempt at an edit, on the other hand... far less sexy but no less erotic.
