Some pretty cool ones on this site - I like the "Office Guy" one the best.

Mine? Jaws is my favorite flick and Shaw really nailed the Quint character better than any actor I've ever seen in any role! Can't imagine Quint any other way! That "Indianapolis" speech - amazing!

Of course, maybe I'll change it in the future and this post won't make any sense.

Yours?

They're pachinko balls. Plus they have "PP" on them, which is funny on a couple different levels.

Well, I ended up with the shardian name for the online world. It was a name I made up back when Diablo 1 was popular. It stuck, so I decided to include the picture of the warrior character from that game once I got involved in the forum life.

Always thought that was The Undertaker.

I've had a few since I've signed on that first time... two were variations of Gizmo from Gremlins... but this one's ME (in a South Park sorta way)......

I forget what I used to have, but at one point someone posted this for me almost how it is now. Then someone else (Mr. C?) finished it. I think it fits. Thanks guys!

I love the movie Office Space and I constantly think of beating the crap out of printers.

I always thought the shaking butt sequence in pengo was funny, and I really like the game. So I put together this from MAME screenshots. I made a .gif of Ms. Pac Man dying too, not sure if I'll ever use it though.

Don't know why, but for some reason, I was thinking it was Steven Webber as Jack Torrance in "The Shining" remake....

Because I like pretty girls.

Texasmame · « **Reply #20 on:** October 09, 2006, 08:08:23 am »

Gotta agree with your assessment of your avatar there. BTW, who is she - "somebody" or just a random girl?

Bones · « **Reply #21 on:** October 09, 2006, 08:21:37 am »

None of your business. She is mine.

Mine just seems 'comfortable' like my own mini vacation or something

It's from ez rider in case anyone wondered.

I'm pretty new here , but I like the little South Park avatars. I made one the best I could of my own likeness.

I earned the nickname from my co-workers. One morning I overheard someone say, "Well , Well , Well , Here comes Mr. Sunshine!"

Since then , the name has stuck to me like Gorilla Glue

Mine is from my flagship arcade machine Trog (like pacman, only more actionesque)

Also, "Dog's don't know its not bacon" Beggin' Strip commmercials somehow stuck with me...so I combined it with Trog. Viola.

My name vigo after the bad guy from Ghostbusters 2, so it is unrelated to my avatar

clanggedin · « **Reply #27 on:** October 09, 2006, 02:43:05 pm »

I had to wait 10 years after "Cartoon Planet" came out to where I could buy my own officially licenced Space Ghost costume. I had to have one because of the guy dancing at the beginning of the show in one, when it was a one hour show. That is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

It's what I am every year for halloween until I can afford a cooler costume, like a Stormtrooper.

I look pretty stoopid in the costume, so I decided to share it with others here.

Was planning on building a Simpsons Supercade but have since talked myself out of it. The Space Invaders Homer has stuck as I'm too lazy to make something else.

Hey Clanggedin,
This is my first year with one, since I have a goatee, I figured to be Chad Ghoastal, the evil twin. Wife really loves the cape for some reason but declined the opertunity for sporting the Wonder Woman getup. So far I've managed to not get the cape caught in the mower while cuttin the lawn but them grass stains are a b1tch!
Any pointers on avoiding mishaps while in everyday use?

Dustin Mustangs · « **Reply #30 on:** October 10, 2006, 03:33:35 pm »

What a great thread! Hearing everyones (extremely different) reasoning is quite entertaining.

Mine is a somewhat abstract photo of one of my other hobbies. You think arcade cabinets can take up a lot of your time or suck your bank account dry in a hurry? Ha!

Anyone care to guess what this is in mine??

The south park guy resembles me when I let my hair grow out, and them's the cabs I built.

Yeap, I'm a bit boring.

Mine is in the list of premade Avatars. I chose it when I signed up for BYOAC. I've had it so long I'm afraid nobody will recognize me if I change it
