why did you pick your avatar?

[Andy_H]

Usually it's a self-portrait I sketched on a Post-It Note one day while I was at work. I changed it to Yukon Cornelius for the winter, though, because he and I bear a certain resemblance.

my avatar "won't take" it changes to what seems like 10 or so random pictures. Same for everyone else's posts..

very strange.

Any advice?

 

[ludwigman]

Mines pretty self explanatory.

Are avatars meant to be unique? Or is it okay to use the same one as someone else? Opinions?

Btw, I did watch the Simpson's for a few years when the show first aired, but not anymore: I just think the picture (as it relates to Homer's character) is hilarious.

The above is from the album cover in my collection that, for part of me, most 'Freudianistically' represented where I [who emanated from the English 'Black Country'!] was at, eighteen months ago, on retiring to the UK, after many fruitful and enlightening years in Canada :yes:

I like the Blues, and this cat looks like he could be singing them. And he looks like my cat Poco. :yes:

[Arkay]

I think mine should be self-explanatory. The irony behind it is that I picked the user name "Arkay" based on the initials "R" and "K" --not because of any link to audio gear. At the time I chose it, I didn't even know that Arkay actually WAS an audio brand! It seemed too much of a fortunate coincidence not to take advantage of it, and when the old Arkay newspaper ad scan showed up online. I grabbed a copy and cropped it. Another AKer helped me to reduce the file size and otherwise clean it up (as far as possible) for use as an avatar.

Mine's just me getting rid of the last of my gear at the curb.

 

[BadassBob]

I was at 711 one night buying a pack of smokes, and saw mine plastered to the counter. A warning sign about selling cigs to minors. The pic made my laugh pretty good, so I took a picture of it with my phone, and the rest is history.

...just thought I'd give a little peek into my other passion...

 

[Brett a]

My current one is a picture I took of the nose of my car last winter. The ice crystals were standing up in end like I'd never seen.

And besides, the only thing I love more than my stereo (besides my wife and cat) is my Mini Cooper.

I picked some deliberately trashy,and campy record that shows I've spent a sizable chunk of my life digging through vinyl at thrift stores.If I wanted to post something I really loved,it would be something like this

 

[Hendrix416]

Because of this...

Benny Lava

 

[KLH9]

ah... gee whiz... Maybe because of my screen name

 

[chillwolf]

Because of this...

Benny Lava

WTF! :screwy:

 

[Fred Sanford]

i thought this would be an interesting thread. why did you pick your avatar? and (if it is someone famous) who is it?

so c'mon everyone....tell us about yours!:thmbsp:

I liked it because I can look at this bizarro pile o' drivers and instantly imagine exactly how bad they'd sound all firing at once, and the mental image I get is perfectly displayed by the dude in the pic.

I have been working with "her" for over 25 years now and she is finicky, but does not let me down...as long as I give her enough attention. And she's sooo cool when she's fired up and ready to make sweet music

 

[Man in Cave]

The yellow Panasonic Panapet 70 was a gift from my parents in the seventies in my childhood. It's nostalgic. My mom had the radio stored away for years when she finally gave it back to me last year. It reminds me just how long I've had a desire for music. Plus I like how it looks.
