What is up with that avatar??

[DevNull]

I did an advanced (ooooh) search and cannot believe my eyes that no one ever started such a thread.

My avatar came from a quick search of my images folder. It is "Oat Willie" and I had a cat by that name once. Pretty lame, but E. Zedo already claimed an Alex avatar. My second choice was a Tron avatar but I don't like when people laugh at me. I will go with a Homer/Mr. Sparkle one eventually.

Not an all-inclusive list, but I also like the FG evil monkey avatar, the m1911 one, and MG's new FG Canada one. Utopmk's bothers me because I keep thinking it is Squidward out of the corner of my eye.

[Ponderous]

I think I mentioned this in my "I'm new" post, but here goes... I figured a zebra is about as likely to be found in snow as an INTP is to be found anywhere, so it seemed fitting.

By the way, I really like Elro's. Linus is my favorite.

Oh man. I have never noticed that about your avatar and probably never would have unless you had done gone pointed it out. It wicked sucks that my analytical skills are top notch but my visual observations are so narrowly focused when not engaged on a specific mission.


I know it is a vBulletin issue, but it would be cool to have an avatar mouse rollover explanation option for those of us who have the curiosity bug.

[purple13]

fc, I think you should get yourself an avatar.

[garak]

Look at Ron Popeil's face! How could I not want him as an avatar?

[DevNull]

Look at Ron Popeil's face! How could I not want him as an avatar?

Ahhh yes. The Ronco dude. (Nod to Google) The whole deal with this thread was to lure garak in and get him to divulge who that was on his avatar without me looking like some durn fool who wasn't all hip with pop culture. Now to just play along like I knew it all along and everyone will be none the wiser....

Oh crap! Did I just type all that out loud??

[mgb]

My new one seems to be causing quite kerfuffle. Which is weird because it's not the kerfuffle I had in mind. People just like the monkey.

A file cabinet would be the obvious choice. Maybe one kicked over with all kinds of paper flying around.

[melancholeric]

But that particular hyena is cute. I'm repeating myself here.

I've been wondering how long it takes from the CIA to connect the dots between my avatar, my post about my "inner terrorist" and my post about "dubya is the root of all evil". :ph34r:

I think it's the "outer terrorist" they worry about.

Plus, we all know that someone from the land of Santa couldn't hurt anyone. Well, at least physically. Ok, at least not without a some sort of safety word.

Thanks! It was hard to find a reasonable pic, but worth it. Apparently Linus is undervalued on the net.

Interesting thought: A zebra on fallen snow is half-camouflaged. :D

Mine is Dali's Meditative Rose. I took 1 art class in H.S. for about 6 weeks before I was placed in a 8 period schedule. (No lunch/No study/8 classes) We had just started a research project and I had gotten really interested in Dali's work. I ended up taking an afterschool study with the teacher. It helped me relax after spending 7 hours of lectures and reading and math and labs. I'm rambling...

The fact that it's colorful helped me choose that one too. It's been one of my favorites.

After that thread about the movie critic I am not so worried about bottoming out of the respect barrel, you seem to have that piece of real estate covered.

[EdwinJefferson]

Mine is a polaroid photo of myself.

[glassmoon]

Guess how I came to my avatar ;P

[EdwinJefferson]

You did a Google image search for Doc Brown from Back To the Future?

[glassmoon]

You did a Google image search for Doc Brown from Back To the Future?
Yeah... I meant like, why did I choose it as my avatar...

[mgb]

Yeah... I meant like, why did I choose it as my avatar...

Because you are old and crazy, or you are from the future.

[EdwinJefferson]

Because you are old and crazy, or you are from the future.

All good reasons, but I think it's a rhetorical question.

[glassmoon]

Famous ENTPs:
Jim Carrey, actor & comedian
Weird Al Yankovic, musician & comedian
Nikola Tesla, inventor
Brian Regan, comedian
Ryan Stiles, actor & comedian (Whose Line Is it Anyway?)
Dr. Emmett L. 'Doc' Brown (Back to the Future)
Cosmo Kramer (Seinfeld)
Q (Star Trek: TNG)
Wile E. Coyote
Bug Bunny

I still think it's a rhetorical question..

I crack myself up...haha, ah yeah, and he's most likely an NT.

I don't know what my avatar is from, I am ashamed to admit that I stole it from another forum a couple years ago. I couldn't help it I just fell in love with the hopping tomato.

Ok,

Poop! I did have a simple very beautiful butterfly that looked like it could only have been painted by an artist. (I can't find it right now, but will put it back as soon as I do).

This was a play on the chaos theory. The butterfly effect. That butterfly did not look as if it were a product of chaos (but of course it was). And a single beautiful chaotically produced butterfly can have a huge effect on weather (in theory). So it's Creative Chaos. See? Wasn't that really, really, a neat play on concepts? I thought so. :D) (Just trying to be arrogant) ;)

Are you trying to start another argument with an NF? Silly NT. :smooch:

He has to use something. No, I just mean they get overused, like his underwear. My skidmarks are like e-skid marks compared to his poo-skidmarks.

Does it say NF Central on your screen?

In all seriousness, I wouldn't mind at all if the forum non-NTs would hang around just to say "you're smart" or "we wuv you," but debating them is completely intellectually unrewarding because instead of challenging us and offering complementary insights or information, they sound like toddlers.

NF "Why is the sky blue?"
NT "Light refraction"
NF "I'm not so sure about that"
NT "Okay."

I've read just enough posts by NFs here stating something like "I'm just not sure about this..." Well you shouldn't be sure about it, but don't come complaining to us!

[DevNull]

NF "I'm not so sure about that"

Talk about letting NF's get off lightly.

I usually get an "Okay Mr. Wizard! Whatever you say." Except from my wife.... who has learned to cut her losses at this point in our relationship and quite recently has come to appreciate my eggheadedness and quest for truth.

And it's "ummm....okay", not "okay" :)

[CreativeChaos]

Gee! :( Why do you automatically assume NFs are not intelligent? I have gotten responses to my posts by NTs that say yeah... you right, I think this and this. Who the hell asks why is the sky blue? NTs!

No you're right. I'm in foreign territory. So I try to keep my real discussions to the NT/NF topics. And I won't argue with you! You're just too smart for me! I just can't keep up!

Even though you come around and provoke me with the following kinds of responses

when I was just talking about my Avatar, being very benign, then YOU come up and smash my NFness! ;) Okay, but I still wuv you. :wub: You're just too cute! Your sense of humor is the greatest. I roll on the floor with laughter at your remarks. Really! I'm being serious! I love reading through stuff here because you guys are so funny! :smooch:

[CreativeChaos]

Oh yes, and let me add. I am not here to debate why the sky is blue with you guys. I could care less. I'm on an NF mission, which is to understand you. To understand how the NT mind works. How the NT functions in the world, etc. So I don't want debate. I like the teasing, bantering, but I stay out of the "why it the sky blue?" debates.

All I want out of this is for you NTs to tell me about yourselves. How do you think? What is the difference between NTs, NFs, SJs, SPs? And being an IN I delve into that in a deep way. That's why the post about NT mindset and NF mindset. This gets deep in the realm of trying to understand the way of thinking.

And I can learn a lot just by reading your posts, and interacting with you. I don't think we really even ask the same questions.

(But lets not get into a disscussion here, please, this is about Avatars. If you want to disscuss this, take it to my INFP/INTP Relationship site.) Puleeessee!?!? :wub:

:sombrero:

[CreativeChaos]

Hi, Johnny! I like your new avatar! :D This is an Avatar site, so what's up with that Avatar? (oops, or have you already posted) :blush: Nice to see you again!

[Johnny]

It was an offering from a member of the Jung Forum, a guy who I respected very much for his insights into mythology and archetypes in relation to human behavior, on the subject of motive.

I was using a photograph of Joseph Darby, to honor his courage to criticize the abuses at Abu Ghraib and exercise his will to power and journey of individuation, as my avatar for a while. Before that I was using an illustration of Berlioz's Bear and an altered picture of Clinton armed and in military uniform.

If I put up a photo of Einstein, it would be for his efforts to warn our country of Germany's work to construct an atom bomb for use in the war...though he sure was smart (LOL)...

:sombrero:

[CreativeChaos]

Yeah! I came here MG, because you're new Avatar was a shock! So that's a monkey? It looks more like a duck, notice the beaks. What's up? What is that really? Why is it talking on a cell? Wierd!

[mgb]

It's Duckman. I don't know what else to say.

[bmw318tiChic]

My avatar has a couple lines of my favorite song, I am a Rock by Simon and Garfunkel.

:rofl: This thread is about to get really confusing for those who start at the beginning and read through those posts where the avatars have changed not only once but twice, three times mgbradsh? Post "Sweaty-Drummer" was Angry Monkey, Family Guy (Peter?) Family Guy Newscaster, and now Duckman on a cell phone....and CC thought it was supposed to be a monkey :rofl:

I'll say something now about my avatar being my rabbit wearing a beret, and then when I change it I'll just put a different hat on the rabbit! Then maybe I'll take a pic of a hat on my chicken!

[CreativeChaos]

Ha! Yeah Miss Bunny!

Sometimes I call people by their avatars rather than their names, (like this) MsAnthropic, it's easier to remember. But with some people (whose name a won't mention) who change their avatars more often than ...I don't know? Someone once said about more than Shia Gair's underware? (Where did that come from?) I was once a butterfly. (Or was I dreaming I was a butterfly, or am I a butterfly...?)

Anyway, I certainly hope DottedUnderwearMan doesn't change his avatar, I had such fun teasing him about that. He's DeNull? Or something like that? It he changes his avatar, then my tease won't make any sense. Hee!

[LuridLemur]

I have an avatar question. How do I get my avatar to be sized as large as Divisions or MacGuffin's?

I would like the current one to be a little bigger to really accentuate some of the facial expressions. The file size is pretty small.

Download Irfanview, or use whichever picture-editor you already have or prefer. Load the image, select the resizing tool and alter it to the maximum allowed ( Here, 'The maximum size of your custom image is 120 by 120 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller)' ).

Save --- unless you wish to experiment with the other tools to enhance the image --- under another name, and use.

If the size is too much, try saving in different formats.


Claverhouse :ph34r:

[melancholeric]

But MacGuffin and Division56's avatars are larger than 120 * 120, so resizing is not the answer. He wants to know how to get around the limit with larger avatar. ( and I want to know it too. )

melancholeric and mgb, I don't understand why you want your avatars bigger - they're a good size now, surely?

[melancholeric]

The 120 * 120 limit doesn't bother me at all, but the filesize limit does...

[fci]

after some thought, I think I know why their avatars are so large. when the forum was upgraded to vbulletin, remotely hosted images for phpbb were imported without any problems while all other images weren't imported at all. so, that is how they were able to bypass the restriction.
filesize limits tend not to be set too high to be fair to 56k users... at least.. that's one of the reasons... I guess..

[mgb]

Well I could use it after shrinking it, but it wouldn't be as cool.

[Dman]

Fun thread.

I chose mine for two reasons. One, it’s the only regularly scheduled program on TV that I will watch, because it not only makes me laugh but it also rewards intelligence. The more things you know or understand, the more jokes and references you “get”. Believe it or not they have some very intelligent writers.

Two, this man represents the vast majority of American men, and one that we all aspire to be.

Just go to a website listing “Homer Simpson quotes” and watch your IQ increase as you read the genius that oozes forth from this character. You will also gain insight to the amazing secret inner-workings of men.

[Clara]

You really can't see Vinnie grabbing his package though.
... you're right, and I'm grateful for that :rolleyes:

[Clara]

Dman, I agree. It took me a long time to understand that, but I finally do (thanks to lengthy tutoring ;) )

In fact, almost anything can be aptly turned into, "... that's like in a Simpson's episode, when..." - and it is very dry wit meets broad humour. :D

[Claverhouse]

Two, this man represents the vast majority of American men, and one that we all aspire to be. Dman, please don't think this is more anti-americanism, but after the murder of Yassin and the yank lack of --- anything ? ---I came up with two signatures, one of which was

'Americans wish the world thought of them as Jessica.
They know they are Homer.
The world thinks of them as Don.'

But it seemed unkind so I stopped using it...

No offense taken. I just choose to defend against the anti-americanism because no one else will, and a lot of it is unfounded and hypocritical.

[nBT]

my avatar is a submarinecaptain.
its a metaphor for me navigating the unconsious (or something).
and i created it myself. fun thing is that i only recently discovered this meaning while i s like half a year old.

edit: i think the pose is half exitement half shrugging. i think he looks up to wait for some relief. so it might also be that he expects something.

[Clara]

(melancholeric's avatars are currently undergoing frequent changes... ;) )

Tangential note, to melancholeric : That's illuminating, that your family has lived in more than one country... makes a difference, I think, to a person's "views."


Edit 31 Jan : I just decided (now) though, that I won't put back the other comments... I've liked them all, as well as the shifting winds changes. :ph34r:

[waxwing]

Legos....

I like them, I like to build, I like the colors, and I like what they evoke (i.e. childlikeness, primary colors, strategy, not following the rules, perseverence, imagination, daydreaming, that really cool Lego store at the mall, pulling them apart with my teeth, and finally, the more bucolic, "Lincoln Logs")

[Ascending]

Also Love legos, remind to me post a picture of my collection some time, many years in the collecting.

My avatar is called "Emblem of Diastasi". Designed it myself.
Diastasi being Greek for dimension.

Originaly I created it as a fractal then took it into photoshop and worked with it there. The full version can be seen on my deviantART account. Ascending (http://www.deviantart.com/view/14297361/)

You can also see other things I've done there, although a'm a fresh beginner when it comes to art.

It was a cat eye. And this is not the ultimate avatar I was referring to. I can't use that one before I either shrink it or get around the filesize limit. ( It's an animated gif. )

( And the cat eye was far from crap. )

How could you have a cooler avatar that the JC one? Impossible. You should sign up on that Christian guitar site and make that your avatar, that would be awesome. I wonder what kind of car your avatar would drive?

(Did you make the cat eye one, is that why it isn't crap, if it was orange and black it could have been the Eye of the Tiger)

[melancholeric]

I didn't make it, I found it from some porn site...

It wasn't orange and black, but rather yellow and black. And it was a leopard.

My avatar doesn't drive, don't you know cars pollute and oil dependancy causes serious international problems and unnecessary human suffering? Not something He would support.

( And I've been banned from every Christian site in that I've signed in after a few posts for unexplained reasons, so I have very little interest in signing in those anymore. )

I am fascinated by the revolution, I recently finished a book the Shah Reza Shah Pahlavi wrote after fleeing the country. The guy was a nutjob, but the succeeding regime wasn't much better. )

[melancholeric]

That's illuminting, that your family has lived in more than one country... makes a difference, I think, to a person's "views."
They have lived in a few countries over the years. From memory, Iran ( then Persia ), Vietnam, India. There's probably more. My father alone has lived in a few more that I can't remember. Holland ( for nitpickers, Netherlands ), Brazil ( I think ) and Canada ( briefly ). I was unlucky enough to be born after they had settled down. And I am very bitter about it.

[melancholeric]

Can you really replace the King of Bling with a simple Ayatollah? Is is that easy?
Do you realize your current avatar could be considered pornographic by some perverted individuals?

And where is it from? It reminds me of one Swedish ( IIRC ) animator whose name escapes me right now, but he made Radiohead's 'Paranoid Android' video. ( And I can't be bothered to check out the name or his other works. )

( and Clara, do me a favor and stop editing your posts days after posting and after someone has quoted the message. Are you doing your best in not increasing post count? )

Which one? The soccer one (it was Vinnie Jones) or the Evil Monkey? I saw the Family Guy episode last night and it inspired me to put the Evil Monkey back up.

You avatar could probably be considered pornographic by some perverted individuals too. :P

I don't know what I would put as an avatar.... but for the moment I don't care.There's something original, of course, in *you* having no avatar, if you really don't want one. Minimalist. Fresh. Uncluttered. And the thing about style : if you change your mind, it means it'll be time for a change. ;)
About your honorary title, however... what are your current preferences ?

Yes, but I'm not narcissistic enough to want to see my face every time I post. Besides, Khomeini has far prettier face anyway.

YOU have a whole country following after you! YOU'RE picture is posted up in GREAT lights all over the place! EVERYBODY knows who you are! WE little people have to have SOME recognition! :p Especially the little gnome folks among us.

I second that.

Never have I scanned my face, nor ever will I. :) But, fwiw, CC, you are a stunning scan.

CC : My avatar makes sense to me at least.

St George, Dragon, England, chivalry blah blah etc.

Yours is a similar theme but looks like a roman to me?

Oh and the scan of your face is quite the surreal thing. At least you didnt do your backside (which seems all the rage at xmas parties this year)

Heh, yeah Clara. All of this Avatar change. There are some really beautiful ones coming up and I keep wanting to comment on them. I wish their were some way to say "Go to the Avatar thread and show your Avatar and explain!" ;)

More about Me. The me that's posting this, not the me that posted the other stuff that wasn't by ME.

Or am I being nihilistic? There are others actually posting this stuff? ;-)

OK, as of this writing that to the left is a modified form of a stolen avatar. Thusly, it's a profile shot of my fursona, (http://images.google.com/images?q=fursona&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search) Ka'avik BearCat. Computer heavy, lupine derived, well connected. Unlike the RL me, which is connected via a 56K line. Half my posts are written offline for this reason.

For understanding furrae, I would recommend reading Jack (http://pholph.com) but my interest in it is waning, as it has drifted away from the angst-fest the first attracted me to it. Well, that and the bunny of death. Bunnies of death are such an intriguing arrangement.

If I could create a reconizable avatar myself, it would be of the wolverine / mage that we meet at the end of "paths of the perambulator" -- b/c I've always felt so much like him...angry at myself for not being better then those around me, since I know I could be. Instead I'm like a frightened alley cat, always trying to look big, and not succeeding very well at all.

In case people didn't know, my avatar is an image of Isis, the most powerful Egyptian goddess of magic, and the giver of life.

Isis personafies everything I most value and revere in my own gender - the capacity to give life, to nurture it, to create balance and harmony in the world. Nothing very scary about that really.

Isis is fascinating. Anyone interested in reading about what she symbolised can go to the following link:

Are you sure this isnt somewhat wishful thinking? Some modern religions are as focussed on the Holy Mother/Virgin Mary etc etc as they are on anything else, yet it doesnt change...

1) which gender tends to cook
2) which gender tends to clean
3) which gender is generally undervalued in a work environment

Now, personally, I think this sucks (seeing as I am about to go and cook dinner and enjoy doing so, for instance), I am just surprised to hear that the ancient egyptian society would be any more woman friendly than today (suggesting that today's society has lost that viewpoint is less woman friendly?)

Edit : I just read http://www.crystalinks.com/egyptianwomen.html

which is quite interesting... but suggests only that egyptian women had some equality with men (which they do today, of course) enshrined in law, but that typically they stayed at home and brought up the kids. Pretty decent stuff all in all for the ancient world (hey they exist in their own right, well done egypt) but I am not sure we have lost something in comparison with the modern world.... In particular read the section on women's occupations.

And quotes like this

"Despite the legal freedom of women to travel about, folk custom or tradition may have discouraged that. So, e.g., earlier in the Old Kingdom, Ptahhotep would write, "If you desire to make a friendship last in a house to which you have access to its master as a brother or friend in any place where you might enter, beware of approaching the women. It does not go well with a place where that is done."

Interesting stuff though.

I accept that this is to the extent anything is certain after so many years that Egypt had powerful women. Every society regrettably will turn up the occasional Margaret Thatcher :devil:

But I guess I am looking for more than "some elite women were powerful" before accepting that women were treated in a way that has been lost in modern society to its detriment.

MG!!!!! I LOVE your New AVATAR!!!!!It IS the Feral Kid!!!! IT's GREAT!

Dman's idea. It was surprisingly easy to find. He even has his own action figure.

[Little Miss Krahka]

This is Quincy, one of two INTP characters that I've ever had, aside from brief cameo appearences from myself in the place of Nameless Townswoman Who Yells "Oh my friggin' Vivec! We're all gonna die!" And Then Does.

Quincy is a realitively minor character in my PSO fan fiction, and also involved in the only couple I've ever writen for that didn't get screwed over multiple millions of times. (Yes, his wife getting possessed by the Profound Darkness and then having to spend about a year getting it out of her mind all the way is pretty gentle for me, as is having his entire life's work destroyed by the government because of Really Moronic Policy Makers.)
Quincy is a Newman scientist who specializes in androids, and is one of the top in his field. He's kind, a bit withdrawn, I should probably write for him some more, since he's not very developed beyond his relationship with Magie, who is a more major character. He's a pretty awesome guy, only he doesn't go on grand adventures, and he doesn't fight monsters or discover dark secrets hidden for thousands of years that should've been left alone. I'll probably write a story with just him in it some time or another, since I like him quite a bit.

I mostly chose him because I like this particular doll turned out. One night I sat down and randomly dolled all of my PSO characters on that same base. And this was the best one of them.

And Crazy, I see a dolphin in your avatar. And a wizard, summoning that dolphin. The Black Dolphin of Doom and the end of the world.

I'm partial to the feral kid from Road Warrior, obviously. It was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. Plus, that's all I think of when I see "feral kid" under mgbradsh.

Alas, mgbradsh is too complex a character to be defined merely by one static avatar.

I'm partial to the feral kid from Road Warrior, obviously. It was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. Plus, that's all I think of when I see "feral kid" under mgbradsh.

Alas, mgbradsh is too complex a character to be defined merely by one static avatar.

Or he just want us to think he's a complex character. ;)


Everyone, is complex actually, in my opinion. Even Sensing types. Human beings are extremely complex and wonderful creatures.

[mgb]

I'm not that complex, I just get bored easily.

I concur.

[mgb]

I've decided to have movie based avatars.

I'll be surprised if anyone can guess which movies some of them are from.

[melancholeric]

I don't know. Tell me.

[mgb]

I don't know. Tell me.

Nice Melan. Nice.

That looks like a shot from Show Me Love, a Swedish film.

I'll be really impressed if someone gets the new one.

Look at you.

*looking* I am a sight for sore eyes, aren't I?

The new one looks like Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. What did I win?

[YardGnome]

I am no longer a narcissist. Or does having an avatar and quote correlating to your name make you narcissistic somehow? Maybe my online persona YardGnome is narcissistic, but not me (the person)?

Sorry if I am not making any sense...

[CreativeChaos]

Well I'm a Narcissist. And I want to know what you think of my new Avatar. I actually got around to changing it. :rant:

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance ( AKA Boksuneun naui geot ), I assume.

Wow. I am impressed. That was a tough one.

The best I could do for a prize would be a dirty t-shirt, or my awe that you got it.

[kooliganka]

Hmm, gee, now I am stumped. I guess I haven't seen that movie. You can have your dirty shirt back.

I really did watch Show Me Love though. Nice film.

It was a good movie. :)

Who's the woman on the bike in today's mgbradsh avatar?

[mgb]

Yesterday was Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter....and Spring. A very good movie. I think it's on video now. It's Korean, which is an odd selection because so was Sympathy for Mr. Vengence, I'll try not to do that again.

[melancholeric]

I figured the "vengeance" by googling the file name. I am not going to do it with this one.

[mgb]

I figured the "vengeance" by googling the file name. I am not going to do it with this one.

That's funny for two reasons.

[mgb]

The woman on the motorcycle was from Sex and Lucia. (which is why the search my not have been completely fruitless)

It was great, it starred the girl from Spanglish, Paz Vega, in a much different role. The story in the movie was absolutely fantastic.

PS, I like your new avatar Deepsky.

[melancholeric]

I actually tried googling, but got a bit sidetracked. ( I thought from your reply that the movie title contains the word... )

I could try it again with this one...

[Star]

PS, I like your new avatar Deepsky.

Why thank you. :)

I tried about 6 today and am still looking for one I like enough to keep. This one is way too...bright for me.

Where do you find all of yours?

I need a good Tilda Swinton as Orlando please. :D

I got the Family Guy ones from this weird avatar site.

Mostly now I just google images of whatever I want and resize them to fit.

Yours seems quite innoculous at first, but the more I think about it, the more it seems like a horror movie waiting to happen. Plus, I have the site set on the dark grey pages so flashes of color are nice.

Figure out this movie yet?

here you go:

You know the best place for finding avatars? The Members List (http://forums.intpcentral.com/memberlist.php?). :D

When I leave here I'm smuggling some out with me.

Yeah I saw that Orlando pic and dozens of others, none of them what I had in mind, so I gave up. I will have to keep this one and pretend to be cheery.

Hint on your movie?

[mgb]

I saw it today. Didn't come out that long ago. And who has colors like that in a movie?

Think Ms. Universe.

And yeah, it's hard to pick a screen shot for someone else, I don't know how you remember the movie.

[mgb]

I guess it was Ms. World, not Universe. I have a crush on Aishwarya Rai.

The movie is Bride and Prejudice. I love Bollywood movies too, which is a great segway to the next avatar.

Ah I saw that one! I remember thinking both the girl and the record collector seemed like INTPs.

That wouldn't surprise me either. The new avatar is a little harder.

[Clara]

Well, I still don't know what Utopmk was going on about, with the other thread ( uniformity non-proposal )... but, there are lots of things I never manage to learn *exaggerated sigh* ;)

Setting that to one side ...

Melancholeric, & Niflheimian : who & what ( respectively ) are your new avatars ? Others have probably changed avatars too, recently... tell us what they are ?

[melancholeric]

Well I found it from http://www.bushspeaks.com/ some years ago. Just for kicks, here's a larger pic.

[songbird36]

LOL Clara - could you honestly not recognise "W" from the smaller avatar pic?

[Clara]

LOL. No. *haha - I really do need INTJs around me - really*

And, Melancholeric - thank you for ditching that horrible dog avatar... I was biting my tongue from posting a diatribe of offending thoughts about it - in Finnish, no less. LOL

edit : I found this online translation dictionary :
http://www.dicts.info
( and, I'd like it very much, if anyone has other links to share, for similar sites ^.^ )

[melancholeric]

You mean this one? Go ahead and speak your mind...

[Claverhouse]

LOL Clara - could you honestly not recognise "W" from the smaller avatar pic? Yeah.

However to be fair, he does also look like Oom Paul Kruger's older brother.

I have an irrational hatred of beards without moustaches...

[ Of course, President Kruger was a great man and brave statesman, despite his heavy-going faith and all-too-human flaws; so maybe the comparison is a bit dubious. ]



Claverhouse :ph34r:

[Clara]

Once again, biting my tongue - LOL

edit: I really do love you guys ( some of the time ) ... and sometimes, you bug me, extremely :P

Thank-you Clara. Btw, how do you feel about Shai Gar's new avatar? He claims you are merely a crow, be he is a raven! I have to look twice, but if I glance at the bird and read the post and the fourth word is fuck, I know its Shai Gar without reading the name.

[Ka.avik]

[...]if I glance at the bird and read the post and the fourth word is fuck, I know its Shai Gar without reading the name.
People down under aren't known for their clean speech like us 'murkin's does. Read that in some tourist book -- they all have a potty mouth down there.

the rabbit's posture has changed -- are you photoshopping images of your pet rabbit, or pulling that from the web somewhere...?

and, while I'm not actually expecting to change avatars anytime soon....
I'm attaching the one I wrote about some time ago -- well connected, a fur, etc...

[Clara]

Miss A - I have to tell you, I love Shai Gar as if he were truly a nephew ( and maybe he is, in an indirect usage of the term ) -- he definitely fits in the family pattern, however. :)

I was refraining on commenting on his avatar, in case that might have caused him to change it again... just enjoying it, while it lasts. :) ( change being inevitable ;) )

[Eileen]

My avatar is an image--not an icon proper, as I'm sure it's not Byzantine and probably has a known author--of Dame Julian of Norwich, my favorite Christian mystic. She's holding a thing the size of a hazelnut, which is all that is made. :)

[CreativeChaos]

Okay, I promised Mel that I would not say anything to him, and I'm not. But I just have to say that his new Avatar is



hhhhhiiIIIIIIILLLLLAAARRRRRIIIOUUSSSSS! :rofl:

I crack up everytime I see it. I LOOVVVEEEE IT! :wub: (I have it saved too, for ME! Hee!)

Edit: It's this one with Bush as a Middle Eastern type person. (Almost like the big man Osama himself) For when he changes it to something else. My friends will get a big kick out of this one. Haa! It's priceless.

Mine is from a larger photograph. I believe it involves a Russian woman lighting candles in a sort of ceremony for her deceased husband. There's something very haunting/mystical about it.

Thanks for the image uploader link, CC. *bookmarks*
I had my "little wooden house" avatar for awhile; I figured it was time for a change.
The platform with the candles looks like a chess board, eh?

[jimkopelli]

That's what I thought it was at first... just saw it a minute ago... and I was thinking... Hmm, flame chess... have to be careful not to get wax burns...

It is a beautiful avatar - I thought they might be votive candles. And in keeping with a Nordic theme.

( ... glad you've finished whatever was keeping you housebound. ;) )

[Star]

(btw, what is your avatar? it reminds me of something dirty until I look closer and see a vacuum tube and something square)

Hah, it's just the CD cover art from some music that was in my head. The one I had before was just too damned sunny for me.

It does look a bit vaginal. Why do I feel like the Big Lebowski's daughter when I say that word in a public forum ... vagina! Hm maybe I can find a pic of her for my next avatar. :D

You have to, that would be awesome.

Now everytime you say something I will think you are speaking with that made up east coast accent. "lol"

Ha, that's perfect. But I'd probably be accused of trying to be sexy if I used it. Maybe with the quote here as a disclaimer. =)


Maude Lebowski: Does the female form make you uncomfortable, Mr. Lebowski?
Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski: Uh, is that what this is a picture of?
Maude Lebowski: In a sense, yes. My art has been commended as being strongly vaginal which bothers some men. The word itself makes some men uncomfortable. Vagina.
Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski: Oh yeah?
Maude Lebowski: Yes, they don't like hearing it and find it difficult to say whereas without batting an eye a man will refer to his dick or his rod or his Johnson.
Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski: Johnson?

well, my previous avatar was the "stick em up" kitty but someone seemed to claim it for their own lately, so i changed mine to the "sharp shooter" kitty.

[avidApathy]

I cant remmember where i found this but it reminds me of the isolation i often feel. As if im observing my life through a window high up in a building. No control, just watching the people pass by, getting minute glimses of their lives to analyze, and then retreating to my dark black room once more.


O yea and its from a bigger picture....
