Explain your Avatar
« on: September 21, 2011, 07:13:25 PM »
Hello,

There are so many avatars in these forums, and each has a story to tell.  I've started this thread to document what each person's avatar means.  Post your description of why you chose it and how it represents you on the forum below.

A model description:

I chose a Penguin for my Avatar because I liked penguins when I started this forum account- I had just stopped playing Club Penguin a year before (come on, I was 11!).  The avatar itself was a gift from my former squadmate NEARY, who was the CO of the first real squadron I've joined.  It was an all-kid squadron, and when he saw that I didn't have an avatar, he sent me the photo.  It's my only memory of him now.

I chose a fruity-looking dancing spiderman because at the time a lot of people were really bent out of shape trying to pick the perfect avatar, or complaining about other people's avatars.  So when I saw this one it was so stupidly funny I picked it.  I haven't had any reason to change it since.

<-- 3 words for you

Alice
In
Chains

epic band, nothing can compare...maybe nirvana but the better one is AIC because of their new album and the album Dirt.

(not to mention the single "a looking in view" is the best song out there) - second link in my sig.

EDIT: and dicho was nice enough to shrink it down for me   :aok

That's a nice bird.  I'll probably stick to spidey though :)

I thought of changing it to a badazz pic I have of my firebird during an autocross race, but that would take a bit of work.  So I probably won't.
