Same as the screen name thread, only tell us about your current avatar, who designed it, where you got it from, what it relates to, why you chose it blah blah etc, and anything else you'd care to mention about your past avatars.

Thank you.

mine is a dead bear. see, he's not alive, just dead. you can tell by the x on his chest.
brought to you by [url=http://www.airside.co.uk]Airside[/url] and the letter [img]http://www.kidzone.ws/kindergarten/images/p.gif[/img]
it relates to me because if i were a bear, i would be dead, because i don't have many bearesque tendencies, except i do like the taste of hunny, and some fish (but not raw)

no, this one is dead. really. it's named "Dead Bear". so it must be dead. besides, he's not moving.
Look, matey, I know a dead bear when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now. Now that's what I call a dead bear. 'E's passed on! This bear is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! he's pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-BEAR!!

speaking of avatars, i just found the best idea for one.

in Thom Yorke and DJ Shadow's music video for "Rabbit in Your Headlights" it would rock if someone made a clip of the car running into the guy and the guy just stands there and the car gets destroyed.

just had to say that

Someone already had that as a avatar on this site. Don't remember who, though.

And TwoSmokingBarre(ls) made mine, or ROBB did....can't remember.

is he in the paper? on the back side.

sorry he just looks stoned.
oh and plastic, disx already did that, albeit for a couple of hours. i had clipped that one but never used it, i've also got one where alex from a clockwork orange is strapped down and his eyes are clipped open and he's freaking out about Beethoven only i reversed it so it looks kinda more fuckd up.

Hey, where did the name lowki come from? I had a dog named Loki after the Scandanavian trickster god. Is it the same name with an alternate spelling?

BTW my psycho kitty is named Toliver

And just to stay focused here....I don't have an avatar

Lowki's the same as Loki...my bf spelled it w/ the W because at the time there was this wrestler or fighter or someone w/ the name Low Ki. I wanted to change it w/out the W, but it's already spelled that way at the vet and on his collar. So eh, it'll stay.

Isn't loki the god of mischief or something? We either jinxed the cat by naming him that, or it's the perfect name.

Yeah, god of mischief or trickster in Scandanavian mythology.

I like the name because its pronounced "low key" but its the opposite in meaning.

My little brother used loki on his name tag when he waited tables at a restaurant chain (years ago)

All my avatars are sprites from video games (NES and SNES specifically). My current one is the balloon fighter from Balloon Fight. I'm due for a change though.

I make all my avatars.

I felt naked without an avatar so I did a google on "avatars" and found the-iceman. He touched me in a way I had never been touched before . . . the love glove with bite.

Has absolutely nothing to do with me personally, but is representative of the prurient rot affecting my brain.

partially from memory jane, i had to whip out the dvd of that episode. that one and the "Twit competition" skits are the most ingenious bits in comedy that have ever existed, better than the half-ass attempt of laurel and hardy "who's on first?" bit.
