Hi all

With all the avatars here I thought it may be fun to share how we came up with them

I've been a Star Trek fan since I was a kid and came across this pic of a a Steampunk-ish Enterprise. Used it ever since then.

How about you?

Got mine from gadget I believe. I used to be wtmke1 here and changed to the current. But Mr Meogi from the karate kid is the premise. But I call my cat funny names and MrMeowgi came out one day. Mr Meogi was for karate. So I have a ninja cat. Kind of a play on words

I’ve had a few, but this one was a gift from the son of one of my waitresses. And I do love you more than biscuits and gravy.......:blowkiss:

I have been asked Many times about DA BUNNY
and how DA BUNNY came to be..


well dis is DA TRUE BUNNY story.

at the home where da Mrs and Sparkey usto live.
across the street lived a CRANKEY little old lady..
she did not mean to be CRANKEY it was just er nature..
well sparkey put in an underground sprinkler system...
and as faite would have ... it aimed RIGHT AT da little old CRANKEY Ladys newspaper box.
this little fact was unknowen to all. BUT da little old CRANKEY lady making her become more and more crankey by da day.

Then Early One monday morning why walking out to da car to go to work. I was approched By a VERY CRANKY little old lady holding er sunday paper that must have weighed 50 pound with all da water running out of it making a steady stream what could best be discribed as a river
running down da road

not a good moment in me life


The little old CRANKEY lady bellowed "" WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT THIS??}}
and I started to giggle .... what else could i do????????

The CRANKEY little old lady was NOT amused...
"" WELL! whatcha gotta say about it?? "" Demanded da crankey little old lady..
all i could think to say was...
"" GEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ some folks DON'T APPRECIATE NOTHING.. I figured a fine lady like you
should not be Reading such FILTH... sooooo .. I figured i would clean it up for ya??""
the crankey little old lady found little humor in dis as da river of water was now making it's way to da ditch..
the crankey little old lady Stomped off leaving a trail of water behind er.
and I started to tinker wis ideas to divert da water.
I made a nice little water proof liner with pull out shelf that slipped into the newspaper box
and found a sweet card to say am sorry and DA BUNNY to deliver it.

the little old CRANKEY lady started to smile when er saw da bunny. and DA BUNNY melted all dat CRANKEY AWAY.
making I and da now NOT CRANKEY little old lady rather good friends.

since that day.. the houses are gone and da little old lady has passed.
YET DA BUNNY lives on to offer a smile to all da folks em meets.

and dats da TRUE STORY of DA BUNNY
and how DA BUNNY came to be.

Hmmmn I'll shorten this story from years of making to a few sentences. My avatar pic was taken on a stop off the blue ridge parkway in blowing Rock North Carolina. It was taken during a time of change from who I was to who I am today. My wife is a major player and inspiration in that transformation. Going from a self centered narcissistic adult who gave no care to anything outside of myself to a fully functioning husband and father of 6. My avatar is a reminder of when the change and growth began.

Mine is Agnes from the movie Despicable Me. I just fell in love with her when I saw the first movie. I have many variations of her, some for different holidays, some for how I'm feeling, like the one being used now. Fuck the FDA and all the shit getting us shut down. Fuck 'em. All LIES and they have no clue, but, anyway...

My usual one, is one, that was passed to me through PM, by the same member that @f1r3b1rd is referencing Hank F. Spankman. He is deeply missed, by many, around here.

I love yours. If I was to use a cartoon character more than I have now it would be the dragon Mushu from Milan'. F'n Disney.

Great to read all the wonderful stories behind your avatars. Mine is pretty simple, me in a boat, on Heidecke Lake, holding one of the biggest fish I’ve ever caught, definitely biggest of that particular species of fish, the hybrid striper. She weighed 12 pounds and was caught on a jig. The year was 2008 and it was early spring, March or April I think. This would be just another fish tale if not for my proof. I have the picture so y’all know it happened. Besides if it was just another tall tale with no pic I would’ve said I caught a state record. Anyway it’s about time someone asked, I’m rather proud of that catch and like sharing the story. I also enjoy everyone else’s stories so keep them coming.

My avatar was chosen because I've been using this name for a few years now and I got tired of everyone asking how to pronounce it. Since I started using this image I've only had one person ask if they were pronouncing it correctly, they were, thanks to the pic.

Great thread idea and even better stories. I've used two. Both were pictures I've taken when I was more a more active hobbyist photographer. One is a close up of a wild alligator and this one of an ostrich. I like the goofy expression and that's how I prefer to live, being goofy.

Mine is of the stripper/mob mole/actress/author/streaker Liz Renay

Mainly because I have always admired those exotic creatures with size-giant platinum blond hair, humongous boobs and big mouths - they like having a good time and so do I, lol

Never knew who that was and I just googled her and saw the whole image. She reminds me of an aunt of mine. Seems so full of life.

Her character's name was Muffy St Jacque :giggle:

Mine does, but I'll be darned if I can recall exactly what :) It was back when I was first vaping, a bit over three years ago. Somebody was trolling me, or trying to, or trying to change my opinion on something, or convince me something was good which I felt was not. Thus my avatar :)

I have a half Wolf half Siberian Husky (also like wolves) . My dad (step dad) was in Vietnam War, plus my granddad was in WW II. So, I tried to be creative and put them all together. Maybe, it should've been WhiteWolves2 :question:

Mine is kind of hard to see, but it says All Lives Matter...except Roger Goodell, Fuck that Guy. I'm a life long Patriots fan. One of the greatest moments in NFL history was when Goodell had to hand the Super Bowl trophy to Brady after he framed him.

Fuck Goodell.

Alex Gray made some art for TOOL (10000 Days Album cover, among other works), TOOL makes art for people roughly 4 decades old. I love TOOL and Alex Gray. It would be Chet Zar otherwise.

I love TOOL, I love Alex Gray too. They go really well together when partaking in particular things we aren't allowed to talk aboot here.

Mine is from one of my favorite actresses, Monica Bellucci.
I met her at O'hare airport years ago on my way to Dubai.
She and Pat Summitt (the Tennesee coach) sat down next to me at one of the small bars.
I asked if they wanted to join me for something to eat and they agreed.
We talked for an hour and got along great.
Two of the most intelligent people i have ever met.

Hank F. Spankman. He is deeply missed, by many, around here.

*nods, listens, smiles and nods again* Yes, we do miss him, even terribly so sometimes. We got it, though. :)

My avatar references enjoyment of books, writing, mysticism and a weathered by life, experience face. The mist from the book is kind of the mage offering a symbol of "been there, done it" as well as vaping.

Me holding a REO Grand... While not quite the level of @JuicyLucy, I am a squonkaholic...

I've been gopher_byrd since before the internet existed. I started with the CB handle of Nevada Gopher since I was from Nevada and I was a gopher as an airman in the AF, as in go for this and go for that... One roommate's partying name was Phunny Bird and another roommate was Turkey Bird, I became gopher_byrd with the "y" since I really wasn't a bird... The things you do when consuming mass amounts of alcohol and...

Anyway, that's the gopher from Caddyshack, one of the funniest movies ever. I forget who over in the REO forum in ECF would make avatars with pics holding REO mods. I sent him the gopher pic I had been using and he photoshopped in the REO. That's the avatar I've been using for over 5 years now.
