LOL :D
My avatar is one of several vector smilies done by Chromakode (http://'http://www.chromakode.com/'). I use the "Hungover" one on HomeBrewTalk.com and decided to use the "Mad as hell" one here. The smiley set has several dozen icons so I always have one to fit my mood. :D
I just really like the set, so I e-mailed him to thank him. I bounced an idea off him once to see if it was a viable commission piece and he responded with the artwork and requested that I simply plug his site (so thanks for the opening!). Cool guy and I like his art. :P
Okay, I'm done now...
Mine is a simple combination of atheist and anarchist symbols. I drew it in MSPaint.
< My art signature.
I happen to like AKs as an adult and Hello Kitty as a little girl.
I thought the cartoon was too cute and kind of silly.
| (http://i.eprci.net/v-jraxis-100x100) | My current avatar is from a Ridley Report video of me at one of the protests outside the Valley St. Jail for Lauren Canario. |
(http://i.eprci.net/nh-route-100x100) | My previous avatar was just a NH route sign (template from Wikipedia) with "Free NH" on it, that I hacked together in five minutes in GIMP, just to have an avatar until I came up with something better. |
My avatar is Poopen Von Schnergenberger, a market anarchist entrepreneur monkey on the scale of Bill Gates who occasionally flings his poo.

Hey! Don't get ahead of me. There's a cartoon coming up about that. >:D
Someone made mine ... or maybe I did at a southpark builder
Mine picked me
Current: hey, it's baseball season!
Previous: I thought Spaz the Porcupine (from the FSP bumper stickers) needed some animation, so I livened him up.
Lloyd gave it to me as a pocket protector.
Is that Algernon or the phony Algernon?

I think it's Ralph (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_mouse_and_the_motorcycle).
Mine is me and Daughter Molly. I really need an update with my son Micah as well. By the way, the family and I will be visiting NH in June arriving to the Manch airport late the 5th (thursday before Porcfest). We'll probably spend the day in Manch and then head up to stay with friends in Gilmanton IW for chunks of the weekend.
I'd really love to meet folks in the flesh and am willing to drive to many parts. We're planning to spend some time at porcfest and some more time visiting my old college roommate in Conway area. But we're pretty flexible on schedule, and not committed to anything at Porcfest. I looked at the calender and didn't see any events outside of Porcfest. Anything going on? Get togethers at Vendetta's? Per porcfest shindigs? What's the haps?
Some of us will be hanging out in Grafton during porcfest for visitors.

I really liked your Spazzing Porc. I like the motto Live free or Spaz. Sums up my approach nicely. I am not, contrary to the state motto, all that interested in dying. I have a legacy of making the world a better place than when I came into it first, then I can die. I'm behind schedule, my childhood transgressions have up me back a bit.
My avatar came from an image I found from a google image search. I am convinced the warmongers will commit another war crime against Iran, so it is fitting I oppose both the current war crime, and the next war crime. :'( >:( :'(

That's for sure. Turns out the tinfoil hats function as a sort of antenna, which means they simplify the governments job of reading and controlling your thoughts with their machines! :o ;D
Mafia beams? Surely you jest. I'm worried that transdimensional super-beings are trying to control my thoughts, and thus must I shut my thought box up so. A regular neuronal Rapunzel, my brain has become.
Wouldn't your chain mail hat protect you from mind control?

No, In order for a faraday cage to work it must completely surround the object in question.
So Magneto's helmet is bullshit!

Why, it's Dagny Taggart, of course!!
I saw this drawing in a YouTube video and it haunted me until I tracked it down. I think it captures her almost perfectly (although her legs seem a bit chunky considering she's supposed to have great legs).
Edit: someone told me who the artist is and asked that I give credit where credit is due. His name is Bryan Larsen, and the name of this painting is "Motive Force":

My avatar is the cropped head of a Phoenix drawing. I chose it for the symbology of trial and tribulation leading to change and a new start. Basically my move to NH and new life.

::) ::)
Dagny has no tan; she's a workaholic. She's obviously not playing chicken with the train, because she has her back to it. Perhaps it's the John Galt Line on the day of its first run; she did walk the tracks that day. Dagny does not "play" on the tracks; she analyzes them with her keen analytical mind, performing instantaneous cost-benefit analyses, labor distribution and project planning.
I'll bet you guys are real grateful having me around to provide Cliff Notes and art interpretation. :blah_by_sarrlas_emotes:

That is how I picture her too .... she spends way too much time in an office in NYC
I was thinking about the tan thing. For the most part, the story has a 'black and white' feel to it. One doesn't sense any 'color' until we are in Galt's Gulch. If they ever make the Damn film ( we will be disappointed with it), they should make it in B&W and go to color in the Gulch, ala The Wizard Of Oz.
the film could be ok
I have liked some books made films lately.
good idea about the color

QuoteHow'd you pick your avatar?
A bargin bin web cam, four years ago. ;D
It broke three years, eight months, and uhh, some number of days ago. I need another one, with piercings in place, a good shot of the ama-gi tat on my neck, and my sweet "skunkhawk." A skunkhawk being your average mohawk, but with the top bleached and toner-dyed virgin snow, with the sides done in black #10.
Does your mother know you do your hair like that?!?! :o ;D
I found a photo with an Independence Day theme

Nope, the book with that cover came out in the mid-80's, and the movie came out in 1999/2000.

Hey Russell...Like my new avatar? You gave me the inspiration at the Apple Festival (and may I say, I didn't realize you knew me that well!). :D
Quote
Alice is a hard-working engineer from the Dilbert comic strip. She is one of Dilbert's co-workers in the department. She has long curly hair...
Alice is rarely rewarded for her hard work, although she was for a time the highest paid engineer in the company. At another time she was feted for receiving her seventeenth patent. She stands in contrast with Wally, who does no work and is rewarded nearly the same....
She was almost into a committed relationship with an emotionally supportive man but turned him down at the last minute, as she decided it would be more cost-effective to train monkeys to do the same work....
Alice has a short temper. Her anger is frequently expressed in physical violence, most often manifested in the form of her "Fist of Death"....

I gotta change my avatar soon. Hell you might even be looking at a new one. In which case I'll have to reply to this thread again.
What the heck? Are we not allowed to change avatars anymore?
I was trying to do that too.
