Avatars and what made you pick yours?

[Peace Of Mind]

I love cats, the color red (and it's Christmas), and I have long blond hair.

Then I realized that a good friend really loved the wine Red Cat and if I ever became homeless she would take me in thinking she could get drunk.

[MB-NY]

My avatar was not my first choice due to technical difficulties. I did have to pick something near and dear to my heart; someone who is something of a goof ball.

[Chocolate Lover]

Mine was out of laziness, it was one of the avatars available here. Anyone got any good suggestions?? And willing to fix it for me?

[The J]

Pirates rule. Chicks dig penguins. Perfect combination.

Back in the day there was a thread on YM asking us how we came up with our names. This was the second or third time it had been asked in six months. So I made up this story about how I got my name because I used to be on a board that only had picture avatars and the kanji character I used which really meant "a person with stained honor" got google translated into dark honor. The story is total baloney of course, I stole the name from my wife who got it from the Honor Harrington novels. Anyway, once I saw that this board allows avatars I chose a kanji character that most sites mistranslate to mean honor, when the most direct meaning of the character is actually name... I think.

Wow Dark, you have spent waaaaayy too much time in YM, your stories are getting boring. I know you can make up something much more entertaining than that.

But I was posting the story on YM, it had to be somewhat boring. I get in trouble for telling my good stories over there.

Wait, what the deuce? I'm getting crap from a chick with a stock picture?

Simmer down Stewie. I'm using a stock pic b/c I'm lazy. You find me something better and not X rated and I'll consider using it. You have 7 minutes.

[Chocolate Lover]

Time's up Dark. Let me know if you find something, I'll try to check in, but don't hold your breath.

That is just soooooo wrong, lol.

POM found my first one, a blonde girl with a dog and a red (kindof looked like it was a hard hat but it was a) baseball cap.
My current one (of a kneeling knight) is my 13-year-old's company logo (he started his own little business when he was 11 and drew this). I got lazy so I didn't use the best copy, but it's something...

I think she looks pretty cute.

My 295th girlfriend nicknamed my member, dragon...

[8 Bit WWBG]

The 3 blades of the Klingon empire.

I could go for a picture of Gowron himself, but he's the type who doesn't smile much... unless it is at the demise of a foe.

[Sum Dum Gai]

And I got yelled at for geeking up the place... *head shake*

[❤ mollymouser ❤]

I use this same avatar on most of the Internet forums/places I hang out, including Facebook. (By the way, this cute kitten is named Fuzzball, and he's now a grown-up cat.)

Of course, I did consider this ....

[Colleenz]

I am an EE slacker so no avatar yet. Unfortunately, IRL I was helping with charity today so to tired to get one now. Now if I had been at work...

Does this board have spell check???

[tiredturkey]

Because I didn't know how to make the one I wanted work and I figured a great cow was better than a little red x. Oh yeah, and I couldn't find any turkeys-maybe I'll just change my name to TexCow

[Cookies Galore]

Mine is a goofy photoshop job a friend did of me a couple of years ago. I just thought it was goofy, like me.

[Deleted]

Mine is Hello Kitty because I love Hello Kitty

[westerngal]

Because I truly am a western gal ( a real true cowgirl ) and I have almost black hair and blue eyes and I love Betty Boop. Boop Boop a doop!

[Peace Of Mind]

Western! It's good to see you here! One of my best friends has curly black hair and she collects Betty Boops too and "Boop" is her nick name, among many.
