Your Avatar pic, Why?

reply to post by Knives4eyes


Psst....your 70's and 80's is showing...

Mine is from a home movie my grandfather made ages ago. It's a pretty weird video. No accusations of attempting to brainwash anybody allowed! Dog at the beginning is the tail end of the prior video and the weird guy--I have no idea.

vimeo.com...

I love all the stories behind the reasons for the avatars.
I picked mine because its pretty much what I do for a living.

I made this avatar because it goes with my nickname
ATS for me is a web of information, the threads are flies in the web, the spider (me) gathering information to my liking, some get webbed up for later, some gets special attention.

It epitomizes the ultimate goal of the symbiotic relationship between man and canine. heh I just thought it looked cool.

Because I'm a charismatic smart ass with seemingly endless tricks up my sleeve.

I suppose I chose my current avatar because she seems to have a number of interesting attributes, mysterious, strong yet vulnerable like myself. She is also an elf and how can you not love an elf? And those eyes...so deep and bright, you have to wonder what kinds of things she has seen and experienced. I used to write as a hobby and I bet I could write an entire story around her. I don't know, I just loved that avatar the second I saw it and have kept it ever since.

It's one of my acrylic pieces entitled "Take Me to Your Mini Fridge."

Because everyone hated my Sith Lord picture, but most everyone loves Moses, except the anal retentives who don't like that I named him after a biblical figure. Moze didn't care one bit, I assure you. And he was a very good dog. I miss him terribly.

Cool thread and very cool replies !!

My avatar is from "The Walking Dead"'s first episode where Rick wakes up in the hospital.

"Don't open / Dead inside"...sound advice.

I simply can't wait for Season 4 to start. Then I'll probably get back to my regular avys that have been created and or improved in the BTS Avatar thread by very talented members.

I love avatars !!!

I wanted a picture of a grey to go with my name and found this one. I found it interesting because it looked different than the other pictures of them (its the only one I've seen with a grin) so I picked that one, though someone here once replied to me saying it was creepy looking

Because Yoda is awesome that's why!

I normally have nerdy/geeky avatars, because I am both of those things and proud of it!

Freaking nerds.

Remember when being a nerd was a bad thing? We kind of turned that one around on them, huh?

Damn right we did.

My old avatar,
from a previous incarnation back in 2008
(before the notorious password reset)
was about my arriving.






Now that I'm here,
I'm knocking on the door,
but American society won't let me in,
so I'm still out front.

I knock, and I wait.
And wait,
and wait.

Or are the occupants
worried what I'll see on the inside?














There are wolves,
carrion feeders,
and other predators out here.














And no Girlfriends.
I'm a little old to still be a virgin.

Can I come in now?

Well the Rainbow for the gay Flag, but also what the Rainbow represents the multiple colours and everyone being a Prism when light shines through it makes a Rainbow and we can all let our colours shine bright and not be afraid of who and what we are,

also the Double male symbol because again Gay male,

i was wanting to incorporate something to do with Drag, but i like the way it looks now also

I've wondered about that avatar.

Awesome video by the by.

reply to post by denybedoomed


Thanks. Video is even more interesting because my grandfather was an officer with a TS clearance at the time that he made that. It's just kind of funny imagining a man like he was playing and experimenting with a kaleidoscope lens just like a little kid would. It was so out of joint with his usual character that the night he accidentally put it on, everyone laughed because we were so shocked. He got pretty mad about that, lol. Oops?

P.S. He was an artist, too. Oils.

All the good ones were taken.
