Title: How did you pick your Avatar?
Post by: Capt. Mike on August 23, 2004, 09:50:42 pm
While I know Alien's has been around for a while (thanks!!!)...

I picked mine when I got a Tyler Mountain Banjo...I've been playing guitar since 67, I was 12...got a mandolin in 02, and recently got the banjo....it is fun to learn new things...and those that play these instruments know they are not all tuned the same, played the same, and the mindset can be totally different..

but how did you decide on your avatar???

My first one was of course With BagDahd Bob, about the Time of the Iraqi War. The guy was very funny, And I tryed to Be intentionaly.

The yingYang one Came from when I originaly Became a Moderator. I chose It as a Reminder to be Impartial as I can with Duties, that might Adversly affect Friends, and the Forum.

 I picked mine from the old Si Fi tv show V ( The one with the lizzard people in it).

Ravok is the name of their most effective form of martial arts.
 I thought it would make a great Klingon name.

Made mine myself. The planet with the sword through it is from Star Trek TOS episode "Mirror, Mirror". The "battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia" is because Im a Southron. The "stars" in the flag are actually Starfleet Communicators.

 ;D You're welcome!  LOL

I picked mine because it's one of a few pictures of me that I really liked!  OK there are pictures out there that show me doing really nice things to Ferret's body but I'd be banned in a heartbeat . . .

Besides it's the same picture that's in www.xenocorp.net (http://www.xenocorp.net)'s roster and I haven't changed the quote!  It still says "Ohhh please can I spank the Ferret?"

The guy in my avatar is Corran Horn, a Jedi in the star Wars extended universe. If I had to pick a role model, he'd be it. Thats why.


Its from the cover of I,Jedi if anyone was wondering.

It picked me.

We don't talk about it much, but as a plus side it lets me out of the attic on holidays.

I'm a Farscape fan, hence the Avatar.  I found it on the savefarscape site, but this Avatar is cool on its own merits.

Stephen, I'm not much of a fan of the YingYang and all that it represents, but I gotta say your avatar is WAY COOL.

I picked mine 'cause I was getting tired of the caffeine molecule, and had recently seen a few episodes of Samurai Jack and decided I liked it.

I've always used some form of a Dogmatix cartoon picture (aka Idefix from the Asterix and Obelix comics).


The current one I am using was one that FPF-Wanderer made for me...he stuck a Klingon insignia behind the piccy I was using at the time.  Looks cool to me.



When I first tried to register at the old InterPlay fora back in SFC1 beta days, I wanted to log in as Asterix, but it said that name was taken (though I've never met anyone online that used that alias).  I Dogmatix was my second choice and it just stuck with me all these years...heheh.

Been using a cross in my avatar for years now, shortly after I came to Taldren. The ship in my signature picture is CA-30 USS Houston, the Galloping Ghost of the Java Coast.

I've always thought Vega (M. Bison in the states) was a cool villain with the coolest name for his source of power: Psycho Power.

PSYCHO CRUSHER!

Also the avatar I liked better was getting stretched so I went back to Vega. :P
