If it wasn't simply the best avatar on the forum I wouldn't be using it. Isn't that obvious?

El Tejon.
Did you know that your avatar is actually a 1280x1024 212k image that the browser is just forcing down to a resize? It's still loading that many k each time it appears, though.
Oh, and here you go, then. I've added one...a real maned wolf. In an expression that sums up how I often feel about politics, not to mention society in general.

I second El Tejon.

Actually Headless Thomson Gunner always comes up with amusing/disturbing ones. I esp liked Kerry.
Couldn't disagree more.

So, is that wrong? If I am sucking up too much "bandwidth" or carbon footprint or whatever, how do I resize it?

This would work pretty well, if you're worried about it.
http://www.picresize.com/ It's an online image resizing tool. Browse for pic, then go.
Mine is 75 x 75, if that gives you an idea. You'll want to resize by percents to keep the same "aspect ratio" so it doesn't squish.

My vote goes to The Rabbi. I log on to this forum at the end of the day, and his avatar says it all.
I haven't carefully studied every little image, but so far I'd also have to give a vote to the Rabbi.
I felt sort of non-participatory, so I finally figured out how to stick something on here.

It IS poised for a nice head shot.
yes it is, the best squirrel setup I have ever had was when I came over a rise and fat red one was on a stump going to town on a hedge ball 15 yards away.
That is one thing I miss is having time to go squirrel hunting in October.

Sorry, but you're not even in the running. No one can tell what's going on in those pictures. They are photographs squashed down so far that they are nearly indecipherable.

Eleven Mike:
In truth, I can not support a tanklet RPG-magnet as the best avatar. Maybe you'd pull it off if it was a pic of an Abrams. Nothing personal, but I always got the willies from the very idea of driving around in such a target.
Post by: Eleven Mike on March 01, 2007, 06:52:12 AM
I like 1911s, too, but I wouldn't put your avatar in the top ten because I don't like the picture very much. Shiny 1911s are ungood.

Gewehr, what flag is that? Looks awfully darn German, but what era or principality?
Post by: roo_ster on March 02, 2007, 05:47:34 AM
It is one of the flags of the German Empire. My paternal grandmother's grandfather killed Frenchmen & Austrians under that flag. He did not leave me a flag, only a French ceremonial sword and a bayonet captured off some unlucky Frenchmen.
There was no love lost or pining for Germany by my ancestors. They bitterly resented being yanked off their farms in Schelswig-Holstein (repeatedly) to go off and kill lesser europeans*. I recall asking my grandfolks about Germany & what they though of it. They replied (with much barnyard language I shall omit), "If Germany was so great, why did they come here?"
The ADL goes apey when they see that flag, but they also think Nazis are hiding under everybody's beds.
* If you saw a photo of my ancestor mentioned above, almost EVERYONE is "lesser"--6'6" in the late 1800s)
