Title: Avatar, what were you thinking?
Post by: kreskin13 on January 10, 2008, 11:17:03 AM
Some of you have some pretty interesting avatars. Where did it come from and what were you thinking? :think:

Mine is a picture of myself taken by accident (you notice it's off center) by the built in webcam on my Mac, then run through one of the Macs filters.

What was I thinking? I dunno, I guess it's a combination of a bad picture/subject and a cool filter.

I have more pics of myself taken with the inbuilt mac camera than I care to admit. It's.....not right.

I put some tape over it sometimes, just in case it is recording even when I don't turn it on (Where's the "They're all against me! I'm being followed! You can't trust the authorities!" smiley?)

I know what you mean! I see that light on next to the camera (for no apparent reason) and I'm thinking it's "1984". :ahhh

That is against authorization.

Please report to your nearest Government Facility for boot-face-stomping immediately.

Have a nice day.

OnT: If the picture in my avatar was taken four or five seconds later it would be an excellent "fail" picture. As it is now, I think it looks cool and captures the magic of flight on a small scale.

I was thinking "Brick flail!" It seemed like a good idea at the time :D

Yeah yeah Terry, rub it in!  That tiger micarta is beautiful stuff!

My avatar is a sketch of a dogo argentino, which is the type of dog I had for about 8 years before he died on me.  Best dog I ever had, which isn't a shot at my husky.  My husky is a beautiful animal, but he's a dog, while the dogo was more of my siamese twin.  Hard to explain really, but there was something special about him.

And just because I'm a showoff and I love my mutts, here's my Siberian Husky, Chinook, who I often refer to as my "House Wolf."

I'd love that too- these guys loved to run and play.  The funniest thing was seeing Pete come back with grass stains all over him!  White dog+ forceful impact in the grass= green and white dog!

True.  But no knife or tool can compare to Pete--I never tire of pictures of him.  He was a beautiful Dogo.

Naw, I was just kidding.  Your wife is a saint. LOL  :D

I was trying to emphasize that I like the flag and what it stands for.

You don't look too bad for a hillbilly.  ;)

True, but I have to say that SOSAK is a bit more on topic.

...not that it's necessarily a good thing...

I usually just have a buzz cut instead of the completely bald look. I like it but it's too high maintenance. I'm a man, I don't wanna spend all day prettying up my hair, that takes away from my bacon eating time.
