Jack Bauer

I'm a 24 fan, and I like Jack's my way or the body bag attitude.

cool

Well, I've used the original of the white guy with the wildly flailing dreads before, but thought a little superimposition of our Beloved Leader Dubya into the context would be fun.

Although it looks nothing like me in reality (I'm told I bear a strong resemblance to John Goodman), it does reflect a touch of my contrarian personality.

I guess it's a nod to the fact that my father has referred to me as "idiot savant" for as many years as I can remember. Thin line between genius and madness, you know! laugh

Indy. Merely because of a great conversation about four years ago on a cold winter night, participated in by the galoot who got me interested in guns, Shiner Bock (but not at the same time), THR, and indirectly with this board.

The expression is priceless, the quote underneath is true, and it truly reflects my outlook on life as of late.

Only just added mine - another with a patriotic flavor.

Some very interesting diversity here with all the examples!

<<< My avatar. I like airplanes, stealth bombers are cool, I'm patriotic, and it's the first picture I pulled out of my collection of avatars. I'll probably leave it alone for a while, but I might change it eventually to something that better represents me.

Saw it on the 'net and loved it. It's cropped (and resized) from the original.

tyme, all I see is a hand grabbing a apple. What am I missing?

Ummm, 'cause it's me.

On a particularly dreary morning, just before the first sip of coffee.

Gewehr98 · « **Reply #60 on:** October 26, 2006, 01:03:15 PM »

I figured it out.

It's not a hand grabbing an apple. It's a hand that just released its hold on an apple.

A poisoned apple, and a hand that's attached to a pretty, yet unconscious young thing with the name of Snow White.

Mine is a pic of me in New Orleans during the post-Katrina fiasco.

I turned them off as well. Distracting.

To each their own I guess. I rather like the way APS as implemented avatars. Fixed size more or less, so not huge and monstrous flash avatars. I've found on forums that use avatars, I'm able to scan down the avatar displays and get a sense of how the discourse is running, based on the posting patterns of the avatar owners. Its right less than a 1/4 of the time, but then that suprise is half fun of participating in a forum.

Now about this sig images.... : scrutiny :

Nightfall · « **Reply #64 on:** October 28, 2006, 06:00:23 AM »

Now we just need to find you an avatar, fistful... Cheesy

Marnoot · « **Reply #65 on:** October 28, 2006, 07:54:28 AM »

Avatars don't bother me 'tall; small as they are. I have turned off signatures though because big signature pictures do annoy me.

Dannyboy · « **Reply #66 on:** October 28, 2006, 12:19:46 PM »

Mine is a pic of the man, himself, Michael Schumacher. I'm getting over my tiny bit of depression with him retiring. F1 has now officially lost its charisma.

Maybe, but Kimi Raikkonen is keeping it interesting

It's Faye receiving a headlock/noogie from Dora, both of Questionable Content (www.questionablecontent.net), from this comic:

http://www.questionablecontent.net/comics/740.png

Uh, I was totally gonna post the comic as a picture, and then I read it again >.> QC doesn't actually have a lot of "questionable content" as far as nudity or violence or even much harsh language, but that comic seems to be the outspoken exception, hehe.

I like it because Faye's expression (and, incidentally, her shirt in that comic) is priceless.

Um, "I can't figure out how/where to add an avatar."

I presume this is somewhere under my personal setings, right?

[Edit: I figured it out. Note that I went with mine own ugly mug.]

My avatar is gone, again.

Did I miss something?

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #71 on:** March 04, 2008, 02:30:29 AM »

A lot of avatars seem to be missing. In the case of you and Bogie, I'm not complaining. laugh

LadySmith · « **Reply #72 on:** March 04, 2008, 07:11:57 AM »

My spider avatar disappeared. Oh well, found a kitty.

Mines a popcorn smiley because I like to sit back and watch this circus! grin

Jamisjockey · « **Reply #74 on:** March 04, 2008, 07:32:21 AM »

I think if you uploaded your avatar to the old server, its probably gone now.
