There's currently a thread on user names in this forum so to go along with it I thought I would start a thread on avatars. Why did you choose yours and what does to mean to you?

I chose Punisher because it is bad a** and goes perfectly with my screen name. If you want to know what it means, check out that thread.

I also like the red Greek helmet symbol I have used before because it matches my screen name as well. ;)

I don't have an avatar because I think they slow load speeds/waste bandwidth (okay, it is the same reason I have no tattoos. Nothing really grabs me that doesn't turn out to be some secret gay symbol like stars or Celtic Knots. Damned gays have too many symbols. You would think they were Masons or something with all the crap they have role claimed)

I change avatars frequently to suit my mood. My current one I like because I have almost the exact same glasses.

Next week? Who knows...

I have 3 staple avatars but I think my current one is a keeper. I'm a cat. I like to read. I'm a bit dignified. It's just psychedelic enough to match my screen name which is, of course psychedelic in its own right.

It's Littlefinger from Game of Thrones. Do I even really need a reason? ;)

Mine is a thermal image a client took of me.

Mine is the character from Silence of the Lambs. He's a sick ****, and the part was played wonderfully

All this time I thought it was the "X-Ray Man!"

Now he is best known as that police captain in "Monk."

Mine is just Patrick Henry, because I admired his role during the Revolution, the Anti-Federalist fight against the establishment of the Constitution, and the effort to ensure inclusion of the Bill of Rights.

My avatar is Nikola Tesla, the greatest engineer to ever live. I will never be a fraction of the engineer he is, but I want to be.

My current one. See the user name thread for the explanation about this potentially becoming a Chevy Porsche hybrid one day...maybe. This photo was taken in my driveway in Oklahoma in 95 or 96 when it ran great. It is a modified 1972 911.

Mine reflects the serious side of my personality, it also symbolises my desire for world peace and my exploration of the Mysteries.
