Avatars

[slayrrr666]

Where did you get you're avatar? Why did you pick it? Does it have a fun story behind it? Let's spill these secrets.

I got mine from another message board I frequent. One of the moderators left the site because he had computer problems, and every now and then he checked in to let us know what the situation was with his computer, and one time he posted this picture. The rest of the thread dissolved into a discussion of how the frog looked, which he thought was hilarious, and when I decided to finally get an avatar here, that was the first picture I thought of. I keep it in memory of Mr. Burns, my favorite non-Simpson family cast member.

Anyone else want to share?

It's a skull.

A demon skull.

I scribbled it onto something a long time ago. When I was looking for "art" to put on my craptacular website, I found it in a huge pile of pack-ratted crap with a bunch of other shitty drawings. It wasn't art worthy (I know, there's some real ugly shit on my site, so why not this? Eh...), but I always liked the way it looked.

So, it's partially adopted as my ResidentHazard mascot, and actually features prominantly on every single page of my website.

I was thinking about making a new avatar of Hitler with something funny thrown into it. Also, I was thinking about making a spiffy sig.

I think mine's pretty self-explanatory... ;D

[slayrrr666]

Yeah, but let's get a little story about it. Why did you choose that specific one out of the thousands of pictures of him? Let's hear that story.

I saw Chopping Mall. I loved the Killbots. I got the avatar. A The End.

Nice story, Frank. Will have to see it soon, one of those "somewhere in my VHS tapes in my library somewhere" movies.

Ditto.

[slayrrr666]

What's the matter, no one wants to share?

[Bartwald]

Well... I want to share but there's no huge story behind my avatar - the previous one, a Monty Python thing, I was using for a year or something, a change was needed, I didn't want to go too far from the previous one, so I chose The Pythons again: and again it's a piece of animation by Terry Gilliam. Since the guy on the pic almost looks like myself, the avatar becomes me.

Mine is Greg Land's version of the Marvel Phoenix, from the comic "Phoenix: Endsong" Really beautiful art in that book.

I REALLY don't think we need to go in to that story... ;D

Come on, we're all family here. Family keeps no secrets from each other, I really want to know.

I love the Hoff. Pure and simple. Whenever I'm feeling down about life I stick in a Knight Rider DVD (becuase I own all of them... oh yes), and it brightens up my day. So every time I log on to The Board a little ray of sunshine finds its way into my heart. Or something. Besides, the more people get to see his beautiful face, the better. I would have put on Shatner, but I do have some sense of dignity.

Not that bad a story. Nice, taxi driver.
