The Avatar Wars--Who's Winning?

Certainly, jkishka is making a statement. So is mdf007. Toolmaker's statement seems final. And ibdave's worm has enchanted me for years--although it's still scared of me.
Then there are the people who put up pics of themselves: Expresso Dude, Pinemom, TITWI, AntiM, Nick Collide. For a start.
Or art. You gotta love Eliot's big bike in the water. Jellyfish has had pics from his works.
Me? I'm too lazy to change mine. Maybe this will get me off my butt.

So. Nominations? Comments? What do you like in an Avatar? What strikes you as a cliche?

Or is War simply the wrong metaphor?

I love EvilDustBooger's avatar - it makes me crazy (er).

Sound like emasculation speech to me!

Sounds like a 'good war', where everyone wins. Just like third grade, and perfect in the spirit of Burning Man.

I change mine when I feel like editing pics to fit the silly tiny size.

Avatars, Schmavatars

The big question here is who has the best signature at the bottom ?

I like em all. Mine fits my love for blowing and burning shit up and what I see coming in our future at some time in our lives. Its not that I want a real nuke go off. I was more than happy with Crude Awakening but I feel its gonna happen sometime.

I'll probably change mine back to the middle finger fire or something new and snazzy soon, I've just been lazy. I usually try to change mine from time to time.

At least I'm not soo lazy as to still have my simpsons one we all got crazy making awhile back.

Get em while you still can if you haven't but DO NOT eat fast food it will kill you slow.

I think I've just been insulted....

(Seriously, I still have that because 1. it's got Blinky on it for Fishy 2. I've only just gotten involved back here again 3. I get my avatar jollies taken care of with my Livejournal account. 'cause really - 154 pictures {out of a possible 197}, and I can use a different one every time I post? Does it get any better?)

I actually had someone else in mind with a finger in their nose.. but since you bring it up.. change the darn thing already. Get a fish tat take a topless pic and use that instead.

I think there are lots of clever ones...too bad I'm too lazy to go through some posts to check who's and list them.

I like most all of the animated ones. I also like the one that looks like the little red X you see when there is something wrong with the picture displaying but then morphs into a think a little bear or something.

And for signature lines, I think Isotopia usually manages to have some interesting ones.

capjbadger ... i love that one, too! it's a little kitten that takes down the x... i always have to watch it a few times, also ibdave's little worm.

another favorite is cowboyangel's ... it just fits ...

but i like them all... sig lines, too ... part of the fun of the eplaya ...!

mojo · Post by **mojo** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 10:55 am

Ok, now I have to enable my sig line again......

My favorite sig line was a Lao Tse quote. I have forgotten who had it as their sig line but it said, "Be one with the dust of the earth, it is a primal union".

Switched my own based on my current surly mood. (Nothin' personal.) Maybe if y'll are nice I'll find a cute barbarian.

littleflower · Post by **littleflower** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 1:35 pm

a cute barbarian would not fit with your name .... your last one wasn't ugly enough.

Sail Man · Post by **Sail Man** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 2:15 pm

tunn

1. thin; having small thickness
2. scanty, thin; sparsely occurring
3. diffuse, diluted; lacking substance

I've tried enlarging it with paint but it starts to get pixalated.

Found you, YVT

Nice RV, BTW

yes YVT........hahaha

I've posted my rv's here, I forget where, though.........

It's to bad the avatars can't be a little bigger........

Artemis · Post by **Artemis** » Fri May 01, 2009 2:25 pm

I've often wondered what Ygmir's avatar is, and how do you pronounced Ygmir?

It looks a bit like a stone carving of a divinity sitting on a throne with something kneeled down in front of it, possibly a goat?

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Fri May 01, 2009 2:30 pm

Ig-meer........is how I pronounce it............

Da Mule · Post by **Da Mule** » Fri May 01, 2009 2:35 pm

And all this time I thought those were mules at your feet! wolves? What's up with that?

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Fri May 01, 2009 3:36 pm

Geri and Freki...............

I'd never have a Mule at my feet..........only by my side, pal O' mine..........

I'd also never deem myself "Odin"..........maybe Odinic, though........

Post by **Elderberry** » Fri May 01, 2009 9:32 pm

So now that you've shown us what your avatar is (was) you go ahead and change it to something else that we also can't see.
