Who has the best avatar?

[J_Dee]

I like mine. It's a criminal named Houdini Watson impersonating Superman, from "Superman's Greatest Enemy", Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen 30 (1958).

Watson and his cronies end up kidnapping Clark Kent. And of course the story's over very soon after that.

What's your avatar's story?

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

YEARS ago (we're talking WAY before the earliest versions of these forums existed and the internet was still new/unknown by most folks, I read an article about a street performer in New Orleans named Perri the Hobo. There was a photo of him drinking at an outdoor bar and smoking a heater. That picture has been my avatar (whenever I have NEEDED an avatar, ever since. IIRC that was circa 1994.)

Before I retired, my employer made a big push to use Microsoft TEAMS and requested that each of us upload a photo to use in Teams. That's the one I uploaded. They weren't pleased with that (they wanted serious pictures/actual photos of each person)

I listened to their concerns, and reasons why it was important to them, to take "this seriously" and then I left the Clown as my avatar. They repeatedly deleted that photo and replaced it with a generic logo, but I modified the group policy so that each time I logged in, it uploaded the Clown picture again. LOL

Mine is my face superimposed onto the Nick Cage scene from Conair. It was three dogs humping prior to that and a dead Cardinal before the dogs.

I'll probably update it again in a year or two.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

Bring the dead Cardinal back. That is Paddock canon.

 

[JDHoss]

Mine is me and Mrs Hoss at the 2009 Liberty Bowl in Memfuss. We had a nice 4 day stay there. Visited the Delta Blues museum in Clarksdale, and hit up a couple of the juke joints there, seeing Louisiana Red and Bilbo Walker perform. Hit the casinos in Tunica as well.

Jealous of seeing the Delta Blues museum. At the ripe age of 48 i'm getting my first Strat to try and learn to play blues guitar.

He’s smoking! Dead giveaway! You can’t leap tall buildings with emphysema!

That is mentally twisted….and I admire that!

Yep, Supes is vehemently anti-smoking. Never offers kids cigarettes, or he might seriously injure or even kill ya by throwing you into orbit.

The cardinal got lost when the site updated.

Mine's from a site I read that has lots of old timey illustrations. This one's a cat. I don't know if that's obvious or not.

 

[kyboy1998_rivals34276]

I like the ones I remember and can assume the content when I see it. So fan of the clown for example.

I actually think I’ve had this one much longer than I’d realize. Like possibly a decade or so.

It kind of looks like a Temu version of Cat in the Hat.

Yours is recognizable/rememberable. That’s what makes a good avatar.

It's a Ronald Searle (1920-2011) illustration. He drew a lot of cats.

Mine is a photo from the first and only bull fight that I attended in Spain. It was a neat experience and I captured a pretty decent action image with my little digital camera.

Jealous of seeing the Delta Blues museum. At the ripe age of 48 i'm getting my first Strat to try and learn to play blues guitar.

If you go, take a trip over the river to Helena, Arkansas. They have a cool downtown area and the King Biscuit Radio studio is there. I have a dobro, but can’t play it worth a damn.Also, if you go to Clarksdale, eat at Abe’ s BBQ down by the crossroads of highways 61 and 49.

That's a good avatar right there. Druther's is always a clever idea.

I like seeing attractive women. What can I say?

I can't remember -- who here had the avatar of the hottie and falsely claimed that she was his wife or girlfriend, then got busted over it? XD

 

[tWildcat]

It’s a picture of Adolph Rupp in blue because my name in BlueRupp, I’m really clever.

Mine is #35. Favorite President. Last democrat to love this country. I wasn’t alive when he was President, but the true Camelot was there.

Mine sold for $3.7 million.

I’m a Confederate Colonel. Saturday Night Live did a biographical sketch about me.

Mine represents 2 people very close to my name on here. Overall I’d say Darkseid has the best avatar of anyone.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Don’t get much better than that. Except him making it back home that is.

Amen, back when Dems were not full of raging nut bag socialists.

I have Dick Proenneke as mine. I saw his One Man's Wilderness on KET years ago and was hooked on his story. At 51, he built a cabin at Twin Lakes in Alaska and lived there for close to 30 years. He left in '98. It's an amazing film and there's also a book. I highly recommend checking those out.

 

[Elbridge]

I took the picture of mine years ago. I wanted my beer a little salty so I improvised.
