how did you pick your avatar?

[carbonman]

Do you?

I see you.

Emilia - if you think of me as big and fluffy, how's this for a change? They're Cody & Jesse, my ex-angels, and make Goblin look like a peanut !

I would not subject the forum members to a picture of me! I have very few pictures of me - only the necessary, driver's license, passport ( we know how bad those necessary pictures are) and a few taken when I was much younger.

As for my cats, I have tons of pictures of them and I like to show them off because I love them and think they are beautiful. But then, everyone thinks their pets are beautiful.

Decided I would use Anemone hepatica considered to be the "National flower of Norway" I blooms first in the spring and is much more pleasant to look at then my ugly mug.

Should read: It blooms... I guess that I like it when spring comes around, so "I blooms" might be appropriate.

I was hunting for something completely different online when I saw this image and it cracked me up. So I've been using it for awhile now. I might go back to the blonde in bed image. That just seemed so appropriate for this board.

For those that don't remember, it was a pic of a pretty blonde in bed saying "Of course I'm good in bed! I can sleep for days!"

Editted to add: Those who remember me from the beginning remember that I'm a Living Historian (Historic Reenactor), hence a historic photo of a "woman" in a 19thC dress just kinda suits me. And the gender-bending qualities of it suit my personalitym, too.

Cheers,

I was working on my computer monitor, minding my own business, and the CPAP Police snuck in, and took my picture, and posted it on the web, under the neighborhood watch program. Jim

BTW, been meaning to tell you this for years, Jim. Nice butt crack!

I love your Avatar!

When I was (finally) signing up, I wanted to avoid a 'before' picture; (you folks have suffered enough already)
I had been listening to a bunch of old Monte Python bits--so: crunchy frog . . . chunky frog. then I looked for a cute pic of a frog,
This little guy looked like he/she NEEDED sleep.
Since then I have found that somebody is using the name for their business . . .
---as long as I don't go commercial, I hope I'm safe.
As long as I got a job, --knock on wood. . .

The butterfly is a picture that I took with my Pentax DSLR about three years ago at the Smithsonian when there was a special exhibit on butterflies. Chose it simply 'cause I like it and it was convenient.

Now if I really wanted to go searching, I'd look for a picture of a sleep deprived American robin. But I haven't taken any pictures of robins. *sigh*

I stole mine off google images and fiddled with the color. I haven't changed it since I've been here, but I have changed my signature a number of times.

I had somebody make me a tag for a different forum a long time ago... I actually have a bunch of them but this is the one that I like the most (for now).

robysue, your butterfly avatar is SO beautiful! The colors are gorgeous!

DreamOn,

Thanks for the compliment on the pic. It is one that I'm particularly proud of!

Chunky frog was already taken.

I thought about putting Darth Vader up or a fighter pilot.

I decided to post of picture of what I like to do (Planespotting).

Cheers,

It's me. One of the few, if only, real photos of me available online without requiring registration or Facebook to see me.

I'm in a Lego boat at Legoland in Carlsbad, CA in the boat behind my daughters. Wife took the shot. March 4, 2009. Great trip.
