Regarding Avatars...

[Bernie Brewer]

I don't think I would EVER be mistaken for a Hall-of-Famer...........

 

[Ize]

Bird, has your avatar been to the joint? I mean he's got a tear tat.

To be honest I dig it. I thought it was a hopped out version of Billy or Dusty from that little old band from Texas... :rockin: Strap a fuzzy guitar on it and roll...

Ize

 

[Silviakitty]

I'm actually guilty of this myself, to an extent, but I never actually think about it until the avatar changes (or until somebody points out the quirk).

I must admit, I'm not a civet cat, nor do I poop coffee.

 

[Orfy]

Do you all think I look like my Avatar?

I tend to change it when I get pissed of with Christmas at around October.

 

[sause]

Well with the mustache....

And yes I am a giant Steel Comma.

(Sause brings back the time machine) I remember when people didn't have to pay up to have an avatar comma I had one before I paid up.

 

[Short Drive]

I think I look like Miller Park. Well groomed and full of life. Or just full of it.

<------ actual photo taken a month or so ago

 

[zoebisch01]

Hmm, well my children. I cannot say that my avatar does not necessarily represent some form of my actual persona.

 

[Evan!]

who IS that anyway, zoe?

 

[Jester369]

<----- striking resemblance to me

 

[zoebisch01]

who IS that anyway, zoe?

Haha, lol I have no clue . I *think* it's a monk at Orval making some kind of ceremony over a bottle of Orval :fro:

 

[TheJadedDog]

I don't transpose the picture to the person, but the avatar is definitely how I identify who is posting. I get all kinds of confused when avatars change.

 

[Bedlam]

I really am Steve Holt.


Steve Holt!

D00d! I thought that was Tom Cruise! I was about to PM you about your choice of avatar and give you some links to Scientology de-programming...

Hang your head in shame. Say seven 'Hail Gobs'. Once you've atoned for your sins, go buy/rent/netflix the entire series of Arrested Development.

 

[PseudoChef]

All the time. In my mind I honestly think TxBrew looks like his avatar, even though he is younger and says he has a full beard.

I know I'm a *******, but who is TxBrew's avatar? It drives me crazy that I don't know it.

 

[TexLaw]

<------- A happy me I rarely change avatars, although I sometimes use different ones for different forums.

[c.n.budz]

I definitely associate some people with their avatars, EdWort, Yooper(until she put that woodsman looking guy up), and I'm pretty sure BM is actually a badass looking Indian chief....

I like to change my avatar around whenever I find a pic that makes me laugh or cringe, or is sports season relevant. I want to get the most bang for my avatar buck.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Like Greg Oden, I'm a chameleon.

Today I'm a boat on Lake Erie. Last week I was a nunchuk-weilding, mentally challenged man wearing a superhero costume complete with mask and cape. Only those who attend NHC '08 will be able to solve the true mystery of my identity.

I'm guilty of the same thing. When I first joined, the_bird had an avatar of some rocker dude that looked like he wanted to kick my butt, so now I'm afraid of him.

I was reading one day last week and saw that someone had an avatar that Cheese used at one point and it freaked me out. For a minute I thought Cheese was back, but then I realized that the number of posts mod edit fight club hadn't tripled overnight so it couldn't be him.

There are only a few things I know for sure based on avatars...

1) Yooper likes whips
2) green license plate = hot redhead pics
C) Evan! looks like a Wookie.

Yeah, I guess it would help if I had, like, TV.

Could explain why I'm missin' all the references. I haven't had TV (except once, with bunny ears, for the Super Bowl) for 3 years.

Still, I guess there's really no excuse for missin' Billy Carter! That one's great!

Oh the ironing... I have like 6 tv's, so I'm kida like the anti-you.

[Bedlam]

Oh, man, that's great! And, since I'm white, I guess it fits...

Mostly, we don't have TV because of the cost. We live so far out, we'd have to get satellite...$$$! And we just don't watch enough to justify it. Now, when I move to TN, we'll probably get it again, at least in the winter. In TX, there's only a few weeks out of the year where we can't be outside enough to miss it.

I do miss it for sporting events, though. I miss me Lady Vols!

You know that I'm a gangly dork who hates confrontation, right?

 

[joejaz]

Oh, I thought you were supposed to use a picture of yourself.

 

[Soulive]

You know that I'm a gangly dork who hates confrontation, right?

Haha, same here

 

[Brewtopia]

I always associate people with their avatars. I always pictured EdWort as a little German guy in lederhosen until this burley Texan showed up at my door.

And for a long time, I pictured the_bird as this guy


And I know that YooperBrew doesn't really look like a whip yieldng dominatrix, but she'll always be that person in my fantasies...er, uh, I mean my mind.

 

[Yooper]

Well, I currently have a picture of myself in mine! I'm the one talking smack..........

 

[Evan!]

hehe, that site is so spot-on.

On those lonely nights when white people wish they could be watching American Idol, Lost, or Grey&#8217;s Anatomy, they comfort themselves by thinking of how when people talk about the show tomorrow they can say &#8220;I didn&#8217;t see it, I don&#8217;t have a TV. That stuff rots your brain.&#8221;

perfect.

oh, the stuff you miss without teevee. I feel bad for ya.

 

[the_bird]

I miss Getafix... I think I need to make a change.

Incidentally, when I was going through my little This Old House phase a few months back? The one guy I really SHOULD have used as my av was Kevin O'Conner; I'm much more of a clueless dork than a seasoned professional.

 

[olllllo]

I know I'm a *******, but who is TxBrew's avatar? It drives me crazy that I don't know it.

[Buford]

I actually kind of do look like my old avatar:

Yeah, that's me.
