I like the Avatar, but it scrolls too fast. It's hard to see the gory details at that speed.

My mamma wears combat boots....she buys 'em at a place that sells 'em by the threes instead of the pair.  She's about to whittle her new set back down to a pair for that comment!   Don't worry, after you dislodge it, considering where it'll be, she won't be wanting it back!

Hey, do we get a Flinstones Water Buffalo-esque headcover once we make Grand Poobah?  I'd like something in a baby sealskin model :angel:

This is by far the stupidest thread I've ever seen. 

Only fitting that I join in. ;)

It's common knowledge that my avatars are always the best.   Always, no exception. 

Fancy animations and uber leet geek avatars just make you look like one of the sheep trying to be cool and fit in. 

My avatars are always based upon what actually represents my personality, not what might make a 12 year old snicker for a second when they first see it.  It's not a contest guys, look up the definition of avatar sometime.  They are supposed to represent you, not some joke you like. 

With that being said, shang can morph into any of the other avatars and use their own magical avatar powers against them thus making him the most powrful avatar of all. 

So a big HA HA to you all!!

For clarity, the disgusting fat chick was the one that I was referring to.

Mine's an Atari 2600 cart with a picture of a Mini on it. Off the top of my head I can't think of anything that would represent me better.

avatar:

n. Syn. [in Hindu mythology, the incarnation of a god]
1. Among people working on virtual reality and cyberspace
interfaces, an "avatar" is an icon or representation of a user in a
shared virtual reality.

(I like the 'incarnation of a god' part)

I guess being pictured in the avatar is still a representation, so long as you maintain strict muzzle discipline at all times...

Your "rules" don't apply to us, man!  Quit harshin' on our gig!  We drug you down to our level, so you can't bring your learnin' and whatnot to us, we refuse to be all eggheaded and stuff!

Erm, your av has absolutely no fight whatsoever....my fat lady has sung.

Stingray, I know you were referring to my biggun avatar.  If you can't see I threw Shape in a sleeper hold with that, you may need a dose of my current av.

And I believe my current av speaks quite clearly for myself, as have past avs.

Who hasn't read my words and thought "that penguin running around in circles seems to fit him like a glove" or "that lady seems like the only kinda woman he can aspire to get" or "if I were his computer, I'd want to punch him right in the kisser too!"

See, just because you change it doesn't mean it's lost all meaning in relation to yourself.

In conclusion, I'd like to end with the ever popular nener nener boo boo :P

So MrC added a "smarmy sig" aspect....I've got that down cold, ask him.  He'd LOVE to tell you ::) but I figured I'd change the av too.  I like the duct tape zone one, but I'll save that as a backup.

Oh, and bump....and stuff. ;D
