Story Behind your Avatar

[Quetzal]

I thought it would be a fun change of pace to talk about our avatars. What is it? Why did you pick it? Tell us some more about it, I will start first.

Mine is the Disney character Archimedes from the movie The Sword in the Stone. He is a sarcastic, wise cracking owl. In short, my spirit animal. :chuckle:

 

[The Berean]

Since when do atheists believe in spirit animals?

 

[Lighthouse]

To tick off the people complaining about Dukes of Hazzard's use of the Confederate Battle Flag.

 

[Angel4Truth]

I think mine is kind of obvious why i picked it

Girl in a dumpster

This is my last avatar...it depicts the day a STUPID porter threw important tax data in the dirty, smelly, stinking dumpster....and me being the junior then had to climb in and retrieve them

I was allowed to go home and wash the stink out afterwards

Do you draw your avatars? I made this one im using by combining several parts of different images.

Initially I picked out the smiley on its own as the expression matched my own when I was wading through certain threads on here. Then I found one with a sombrero and found it funny, so it stuck...

 

[Sherman]

I am a Navy Veteran. The F-14 was the tip of the Navy spear during the years I served. So I picked her.

mine are me now that i learned to take snapshots. now webcam is not working, it says camera not detected. but it's either me or patrick jane character cuz i liked the show. or i may pick other actors i like or liked - no real meaning or significance, just goofy stuff. i like actors and actresses that can play serious and comedy roles.

That's clever....

I used to have quite a successful poetry blog [I,000 + per week for poetry is successful] and I used to tell little tales usually against myself which I would squiggle a little depiction.

Billy goat gruff

I called out to a billy goat one day and the damn thing lowered his head and charged me.

I managed to jump into a bush and whacked him off with a switch...

[SaulToPaul 2]

Fearless Fife, a man who hates falsifying, and everything he eats turns to muscle. My hero.

 

[steko]

Mt Etna, Catania, Sicily, where I lived for two years in the early 70's.
Etna is the largest active volcano in Europe at about 11,000 ft.
I lived in Motta Sant' Anastasia, Catania, Belpasso and finally Acitrezza.

He could kill a bag of double stuff and not pick up fat.

I like dolphins.
I went to a gulfarium once long ago during an off season dead time and was allowed in with no one much around at all. As we walked by a tank a few of the dolphins swam toward us maybe hoping to be fed, but when they saw that we had nothing most swam away... But one came up and though I was afraid of the jaw and razor sharp teeth behind that Godgiven smiling mouth I began gently scratching its face, around its eyes and along its lips (if you can call them that) and we just looked at each other both smiling for a long time enjoying the touching, which the feeling for me was kind of alien, and maybe for the dolphin as well since I had longish fingernails. The guy I was with was kinda afraid to pet it for it was quite big and the mouth definitely could do some biting. But then he didn't want to pet it anyway even after he saw it was trusting me just as I was trusting it... It was a strange day...

Yes, it's the mark of Fifes, his mother was the same way.

I'm just into selfies. lain: And I like to dance like nobody is watching.

 

[steko]

Mt. Etna blowing a smoke ring.

That thing is likely a mile diameter.
