EXPLAIN YOUR AVATAR!!! DO IT NOW!!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

(Man, I gotta stay out of GD.} :blush:



Mine is the cartoon version of Mr. Gumby from Monty Python's Flying Circus. The humanoid versions were thus:


L-R: Terry Jones, Eric Idle, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Michael Palin.



If there were a politically correct way of describing the way they spoke, I'd tell you.

[ghostsofgiants]

1. Mine is a painting by Luke Chueh

http://www.lukechueh.com

[Broken_Hero]

2. State of Alaska avatar...I'm born/raised in SE Alaska :) nt

[Common Sense Party]

3. "I CAN'T THINK!!! MY BRAIN HURTS!!!" n/t

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. 'It will have to come out!' (n/t)

[petronius]

4. Mine is a photograph of a rare lizard that is only found above

10,000' in the Andes. One of these lizards saved my life when the llama drawn rickshaw I was in overturned at the edge of a lava flow...

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. Heebus!

I live in a lizard's spleen!

:scared:

[petronius]

11. If you think that's bad, I live in the little part that pokes out

just below the midsection. (I'm worried that I might be a sperm. :()

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. Sanna Baba?

Cheer up. Every sperm is sacred. :hi:

[petronius]

19. SLO, actually...

Brilliant continuation of the Monty Python reference! :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. Thanks

I never miss an opportunity, no matter how obscure. :silly:

We're not very far apart — about 130 miles. :hi:

[OnionPatch]

123. I'm afraid I live in the lizard's as*****

That is, if the lizard is facing north. :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

149. That's gotta be Bakersfield

:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

6. It's the Good Doctor Hunter Stockton Thompson.

Closest thing I'll ever have to a hero.

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. Sumbitch

I never knew what the 'S' stood for.



Ever read "Hells Angels"?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

13. One of the few I haven't read, but it's getting delivered from Amazon

as we type.

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Hell of a book (npi)

I'd rate it with "In Cold Blood" for "fiction journalism."

I met Sonny Barger once. I was dying to ask him what he thought of it, but I thought, well, my face couldn't stand to look any worse.

[BreweryYardRat]

9. It's fucking Godzilla.

No explanation necessary.

[qnr]

63. And Godzilla doesn't look particularly happy about 'it' doing so! n/t

[BreweryYardRat]

87. *groan* I knew someone would make that lame joke eventually...

:P

[qnr]

88. heheh, the apostrophe made me do it (the devil

was otherwise occupied ) :)

[Haole Girl]

10. It's Half Dome

...Yosemite Natl Park.

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. I've seen that sucka in person

two or three times. Makes you go . The whole Yosemite Valley does.

:hi:

[Mendocino]

176. Half Dome Again

I visited Yosemite in early June. Great time to go, the crowds (in the Valley) aren't bad, there is still snow in the hills, so the waterfalls are running full (some slow to a trickle by fall). We drove up to Glacier Point early in the morning and found only about ten people there. Did some day hikes and had the trails to ourselves.

[Kutjara]

12. The Vitruvian Man.

Leonardo. Genius. Nuff said.

[ZombieNixon]

15. Mine's a robotic Nixon's head in a jar.

I thought it fit. :shrug: :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. I thought Nixon played piano

:shrug:

[ZombieNixon]

33. Please, the piano is soo last millennium.

Robot Nixon plays the guitar. (It's a shot from Futurama :P)

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. Oh, hey — check your PM

I just remembered.

[Heidi]

37. I got nothin'.

[Wonk]

23. He's my beagle, Buddy.

I know the name is kind of cheesy, but I didn't name him. It fits, though, because he's really friendly. I inherited him when my grandfather passed away.

[Oeditpus Rex]

34. Buddy the Beagle

That ain't cheesy. Beagles is about the friendliest dawgs on the planet.

:hi:

[Jamastiene]

25. Mine is in honor of sniffa.

It's a long story, but he was gone for a while and he came back. I was so happy. I can't type the capital L's as good as he can, so the capital L is in honor of him. Long live sniffa. :loveya:

[Oeditpus Rex]

31. Sniffa is seriously cool, yup

And has most excellent taste in wimmens. :thumbsup:

:hi:

[Jamastiene]

39. Agreed. I'd say most certainly so.

I definitely agree with you on this, big time. :thumbsup:

:hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

53. OMG! I never even noticed that.

Yes, Sniffa does indeed rock. One of these days, I intend to pay that crazy trio a visit.

[RevolutionaryActs]

89. You should visit them in March.

Because that's when I'm hoping to visit them. :7

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

90. Well, I was hoping to visit them before then but...

since I can either drive there or take a bus for $30/round trip, I can afford to go again in March.

[RevolutionaryActs]

91. Ah true, you don't have to go across country like me.

But it would be so awesome! Can you say "party"? :bounce:

[Robeson]

32. Mine says that I'm a big Atlanta Falcons fan....

...:P

[gr8dane_daddy]

38. I'm a Texas Longhorns fan...

from the media guide from 2004 I believe

[Nicole]

40. I love roses

especially pink ones.

[blitzen]

41. my avatar is easy...my user name needs some 'splaining...

explanaton for avatar: flyfishing for trout is my primary avocation

my user name is closely related to my avatar--but i'm not telling how...you'll have to guess

[OnionPatch]

125. There is a river

in Oregon with that name, eh? My husband (who also love fly fishing) wants to go there for some special trout that lives there. Do I win?

[qnr]

42. The old logo for the USARP - I love my time spent in Antarctica.

A larger size from a recent tee-shirt design I did:

[reyd reid reed]

120. There must be something almost magical about that place...

I had a dentist who was stationed in the Antarctic...photos and stuff all over his office (he was a helluva dentist, too...got my daughter over her phobia and one of my boys actually dozed off in the chair during a root canal), and he wanted to go back so badly he re-enlisted in the Navy.

This was before...

He's practicing again.

[qnr]

132. It's simply awe-inspiring.

I've lucked out and been/lived all over the world. To me, nothing else compares.

[reyd reid reed]

146. I know the pictures of it were incredible.

Just...indescribable. You think of Antarctica and you thing barren...nothing...but that's so far from the images I saw. It was varied and alive and it seemed to just breathe...

And I've never even been there. I suspect it's one of those places that has to actually be seen to be truly understood. Photographs just can't -- there's no way.

:hi:

[qnr]

151. So true (but I sure would love to have my photos back -- grrrr!) :) n/t

[reyd reid reed]

153. What happened to them?

:(

[qnr]

154. a whole lifetime worth of photos and negatives were stolen once, during

a move.

[reyd reid reed]

156. Oh, damn.

x(

I'm sorry.

:hug:

[qnr]

157. Yeah, it sucked just a smidgen :/ -- thanks

:) :hug:

[Mendocino]

175. Where were you based?

I have a friend, a hydro-geologist that was based at McMurdo. He spent alot of field time over in the Dry Valleys, studying Lake Vanda.

[qnr]

178. I was on polar icebreakers, we were all over the continent (on the coast

naturally, though we'd take flights to the pole and other stations). McMurdo and Palmer were regular (but not exclusive) stops.

[shanti]

43. everyone knows "V"

[Chan790]

49. Mine's a Tofurky

Why?

Because I don't eat meat, it's what's for Thanksgiving, and frankly the word "tofurky" is nearly-pee funny. It's one of those product names that makes sense but shouldn't have been used.

[Chan790]

51. purple mouse on crack

Luv Monty Python FYI.

[FredStembottom]

141. And that's Bill Evans below the mouse?

I keep wondering................

[AtomicKitten]

169. Mark McKinney from "The Kids In the Hall"

They are a Canadian sketch comedy team shown on HBO in the late 1980s, early 1990s.

In this particular skit, McKinney is looking at people off in the distance through his fingers saying, "I'm crushing your head."

Brilliant. Hilarious.

52. My mom

My hero

[Duppers]

104. I remember...

Your great post about your mom. I was so touched, I quietly sobbed while reading it. I sent it out in emails hoping to influence some folks' thoughts.

You're a hero too, dancingAlone, for your courage. :hug:

[Control-Z]

143. Thank you, Duppers

Your words are kind and your efforts are greatly appreciated.

[tjwmason]

54. The shield of St. Edward the Confessor.

Last 'real' Saxon King of England, and arguably one of our patron-saints.

English without being nationalistic (e.g., Cross of St. George). I've also had the emblems of the England rugby and cricket teams up at various points in the past.

[Random_Australian]

57. Fascinating! I've always wondered about that! :)

Had been meaning to ask, actually.

[WhollyHeretic]

55. Sparky the Wonder Penguin

[Random_Australian]

56. No-one will read this this far down, but the reason behind my avatar is

that is it a symbol of the first step I took toward keeping my mind. The first successful one anyway.

It also had the effect of making me three people for a while - in fact I sometimes revert when I am sleepy.

[qnr]

62. Why would you think no one will read this far down? Don't people read

every post? Read and ignore, granted, but read... :hi:

[Random_Australian]

97. This forum has about five million messages.

I was not under the impression that each of these were read.

[Duppers]

110. yep, we do read entire threads. :)

Still, I don't understand your symbol, but I really don't want to pry if it's personal.

:)

[Random_Australian]

117. Not at all prying. The symbol just seperates one thing into three.

And that was exactly what I did with my mind.

We're one again, but sometimes we're three when we are tired.

Sorry, that ought to be "I'm one again, but I'm still three when I'm tired."

I still slip up sometimes. :rofl:

[LynzM]

174. Wow, RA

I'm still not exactly sure how to interpret what you're saying, but... fascinating, nonetheless! :hi:

[Random_Australian]

183. Why thankyou!

Most kind, dear LynzM. Your not entirely uninteresting yourself. :)

:hi:

[LynzM]

185. LOL, thanks, I think!

73. Oh, you know what mine is

All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight
All that is now
All that is gone
All that’s to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon....

(there is no dark side of the moon really - matter of fact, it's all dark)

[Oeditpus Rex]

95. Yes, I'm quite familiar

It's also my future tattoo.

[lizziegrace]

99. You're getting a tattoo?

Cool. :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

101. I've been sayin' that for years

Never seem to get around to doin' it. x(

106. So I won't hold my breath!

[GOPisEvil]

84. Pretty self-explanatory on the surface.

It's a guy in a golf cart. I used to have him as a larger image, scrolling across the bottom of my posts. Anyway, most of the time I play golf, I walk, unless it's in a tournament or with friends.

Any questions? :)

[Capn Sunshine]

85. I don't know

I never give my avatar much thought
I'll post this then edit..........

109. My black ass

It's a ruc catala, or Catalonian black ass, native only to the semi-autonomous region of Catalonia (capital: Barcelona) in Spain.

It was used as the mascot of the successful movement to ban bull fighting in the province. Everyone knows the bull is the national symbol of Spain, so it is self-deprecating humor that they used the image of this lowly beast of burden.

Catalonia has a grand history of progressive politics and I like the fact it is similar to the Democratic party logo.

[otherlander]

111. I like John Lennon.

Our school gave us homework planners at the beginning of the year. On the cover it said:

Alcohol>>>>>Tobacco>>>>>Drugs>>>>>


I didn't like that. Now it says:

[WildEyedLiberal]

147. I have a rabid Cubs fan friend

He's a huge baseball nut. For the past four years, EVERY single postseason he's told me that this is IT, this is the year that Mark Prior will be healthy and Hendry will make the Big Trades to get (fill in the blank free agent savior who will propel the Cubs to victory) and this is THE YEAR that the Cubs will turn it around and be a dynasty and take it all the way!!!

It really must be a mental pathology. You have my sympathies. That said... 2008 will be a delicious year. A Dem in the White House and 100 years of Cubs futility. Bwaaaaaaa!!! :evilgrin:

[reyd reid reed]

148. Heh...

I say "Maybe next year" like a mantra but it's by rote. I may be a Cubs fan (and yeah, a rabid one at that), but I only keep my head half-buried. I've been saying for the past two years that it ain't gonna happen -- until 2008.

Next year there's no way. Prior's supposedly healthy but who knows. Kerry's gotta learn to throw out of the bullpen. Plus he might not even be there. Club's got an option and I really don't see them picking it up for the 13.5M he's owed. BUT...there's talk he could come back for less and throw out of the 'pen. There are players who are waiting to see who gets Dusty's job before they decide what they're going to do...so it ain't gonna happen next year, either.

Besides...Dusty's gone. McPhail's gone. But fuckin' HENDRY and ROTHSCHILD are the problem. And are they gone?

Nooooooooooo.

So...next year is a 'wait and see' year. Nothing before 2008.

But...2008 is gonna be it. And it'll be Poetic.

:evilgrin:

[WildEyedLiberal]

160. If the Cubs learn that they can't rely on Prior or Wood...

... they might get somewhere.

Wood pitched what, 30 innings this year? Less? Prior gets a hangnail and is on the DL for two months... I think this year the Cubs finally realized that Zambrano has been the real backbone of their pitching staff for the past five years, and if they can let go of the delusion that Prior and Wood are the next Roger Clemens and acquire some hot pitching prospects, they might start to build a competitive team.

But, that all depends on the management removing their rectal-cranial inversion. And I have to admit, recently the Cardinals have suffered from the "recruit a big name star to fix all our problems" delusion - Mark Mulder, WTF? We traded Dan Haren for a declining superstar who spent the entire 2006 season either sucking or on the DL?

Baseball really is the sport for you if you want to have your heart broken repeatedly. My Cardinals are still in the game... so far... crossing my fingers here and hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. The Tigers are a juggernaut this year, though, so I'm afraid whoever wins the NLCS is going to have to prepare for a bumpy ride.

[reyd reid reed]

164. Hendry.

And Rothschild. Especially Rothschild.

GAH!

Zambrano...damn, he's...

:loveya:

And My Barrett. And Lee. I kinda like Murton, too. He's young, though -- have to wait and see.

Gotta...GOTTA get that pitching in there.

[WildEyedLiberal]

165. Are you from the Chicago area originally?

I don't know too many people who would voluntarily inflict Cubs fandom on themselves. :evilgrin:

I'm from central IL which is evenly split between Cardinals and Cubs fans. I was one of the lucky ones. :evilgrin: Hey, it's an issue that can tear apart families here. Worse than politics, even.

Okay, I keed, I keed... but not by much. :P

[reyd reid reed]

167. Heh...believe it or not...

I've never even been to Illinois, much less Chicago. I'm one of 'those'. There's just something about 'em, though...it's out of my hands.

Pass the Kleenex...

[WildEyedLiberal]

168. Well someday you should make the pilgrimmage

I hear the Wrigley neighborhood is a baseball mecca. I'd love to go to a Cards-Cubs game in Chicago.

You must be one of those diehard suckers for the underdogs. I suppose I usually am, too... but, I was born with an obligation to hate the Cubs, so hate I shall. :evilgrin:

Hell, I'd root hardcore for the Tigers this year if the Cardinals weren't still in the mix. There's something about underdog sports stories that just get you right *here*... hell, I almost cried watching the Saints at the Superdome a couple of weeks ago.

[OnionPatch]

121. I live in the only

household in my neighborhood occupied by Democrats and sometimes it feels like we're the only ones in the entire area. It always kind of reminded me of the old song my mother used to sing, "I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch, an onion patch, an onion patch....." Maybe only we old-timers will remember that song.

I wanted to be "Petunia", but there was already a "Petunia" registered here at DU. (I've never once seen a post by her/him.) So I thought I could at least have a petunia for an avatar.

[many a good man]

124. My Mom used to sing me that song!

I think it was her way of saying "quit yer bellyachin'".

[OnionPatch]

128. Yes, I remember that next line was

"And all I do is cry all day."

[achtung_circus]

135. (I've never once seen a post by her/him.) I doubt if you will.

I should have known. Damn! I could have made such better use of that name. :)

177. Mine is explained by the quote in my sig line

It's something I thought up when I realized that I identified a lot of people on DU by their avatars more than by their names, so I wanted something unique. And it's representative of the patchwork that is me, and everyone.

[NewWaveChick1981]

179. Mine is the "Sex" avatar on the DU avatar list.

Need I say more? :evilgrin:

[Control-Z]

184. Remember the thread about birthdays?

We shared the same birthday and, at the time, the same avatar.
Funny, I had never looked at the avatar the way you do.

It has always reminded me of my mom. When I was a little girl there was a photograph in my mom's wallet with her "kiss" on the back. A sign of friendship, I think.

Now that I know what it means to all of you, I think I may have cause for serious embarrassment.:blush:

Between my screen name (which was not intended for public use in the first place - just meant to be a sign-in) and the sex avatar, what kind of message have I been sending out? - O.M.G.!! I don't know if I should :rofl: or :cry:
