Question on Avatars

[gsdx]

Most people tend to be shy about putting their own photos 'out there'. I think you'll find that a majority of the 'people' avatars aren't the people displaying them.

(Incidentally, that is really actor Michael Shanks in my avatar, but he looks exactly* like me.)





* I wish!! Unfortunately, I look more like Ma'chello.

 

[Lukeee]

Yes, my avatar is of me.

 

[gsdx]

Yes, my avatar is of me.

Why are they called 'antennae' when you've got only 2 of them? Shouldn't they be called 'antwonea'?

 

[Elwood]

Mine is me. I think as long as I can remember I have had my own photo as my avatar. I can understand why some people do not put their own picture, but it is something that has never really bothered me.

 

[Elwood]

Oh my lol I see I am not the only one with double posting problems lol


GSDX we seem to be caught in some kind of posting vortex LMAO!!!

OK I am not crazy my post was originally posted 3 times as well as GSDX"s. OK I am a little crazy but our post's were in triplicate

 

[geloge]

In a "simpsonized" way it's me

 

[G-Lexington]

And that's me, the animated green gargoyle, looking at gay porn on my laptop on the floor of the castle.

Mine is of some skank...









Which just happens to be me.

 

[Lefty]

No, it is my gullible birdbrained doppleganger or close blood relative
i can't remember which.

Can't advise you re your avatar as your profile gives almost no information and you haven't been here long enough for an evaluation of you, your needs, your wants, security issues or your need for closet - no closet space. sorry

 

[Lefty]

alley, you be nice that kitty litter loving skank is my jub bud.

 

[Swellegant]

My current avatar is me, and my last two avatars were also of me. But before that, I frequently put up avatars that were not me, but rather something or someone I liked looking at or which I thought conveyed my persona (all are posted in my gallery if you wish to see what I mean).

I think that the reason I've been sticking to portrait avatars, though, is that my presence on this board is not as constant and consistent as it used to be; people don't associate to my name alone as they once did, so I don't feel comfortable putting someone else in my avatar for fear that people wouldn't know who I was anymore.

 

[jackoroe]

Nope. It's the new Benz Gullwing Coupe.

 

[CudDULL]

No mine is of Jakub Stefano, my pics are in my profile/gallery.

 

[cityboy-stl]

Some people use photos of the themselves and some don't. It depends on how open to the world you want to be. I use something seasonal or something I just like but not really me.

 

[M4P]

He's not me but definitely my look and personality

 

[ChickenGuy]

No, I never considered actually posting a real picture of me as my avatar, and never would, even if I was fine with it.

I would prefer to have something a little more out of the ordinary, maybe a little zany and quirky, so I decided to go for my long-standing liking of chickens, and that's how my name and avatar came to be.

 

[Yooper]

Not me, but a scan of the fake license plate I've got on the front of the K Car.

(Michigan only requires a rear plate; Colorado, where the car lives, requires a front plate, so I have a 'fake' plate that looks sort of real at first glance so I don't get pulled over by the Police. It would not be legal to put an old Colorado plate on it.)

 

[jaydizzo]

yep mine is me, time to change tho newer pic

 

[gsdx]

Yes. I'm a licking cow.

And I see you've been busy:

 

[BINOWGAYLATER]

I'm Rusty - (with my friend Spike)

Why is it nobody ever asks me what the caption says? can you actually read it?

I used to have a "charactaure" of "The Beaver" - but after a really really long time - of noboy noticing - i was asked to remove it -- funny thing is - it didn't import it - it came in the list of pics to choose from - and i thought The "Beaver" would be a kinda cool "inside joke" .
