@ Tenders

Looks like a cheeky little boy - you must have your hands full!

Didnt you have the Canadian flag before the BBQ avatar?

[galactica]

Mine is based totally on www.xcons.com
whatever I like the best out of the 5 that come up whenever I go to that page, I use it as my avatar.

[tgpo]

[rhegedus]

Andrew Ridgley?

[mysticgohan17]

thats his name! is that him, it's either him, dolph lundgren or someone from duran duran.

[rhegedus]

Wow, you've really narrowed it down there!

[tgpo]

or someone from duran duran.

I dunno, he doesn't look hungry like a wolf to me in that pic.

[rhegedus]

But he does look like a Wild Boy to me!

[flaninacupboard]

TGPO is correct, it's Micky from Natural Born Killers. it's actually a grab from the music video "burn" by Nine Inch Nails, a song written for the movie.

If you PM me your address there'll be £1 in one penny pieces winging it's way to you! (incidentally i'm sure it's been asked before, but whats TGPO mean?)

[tgpo]

tgpo

Short for:

The Great Pat-o

It's a nickname I received in 7th grade. I got tired of typing The Great Pat-o everywhere, so I addreveated it to simply tgpo.

[housepig]

my avatar is Toshiro Mifune in Yojimbo, mostly because I love the movie, partially because I couldn't think of anything better that would be recognizable at avatar size!

(as far as "housepig", although it was suggested today in a PM that it's because I'm a "scum bag" and a "loser", it's actually a Korean term [phonetically jip de jee] that translates to "house pig" and is a term wives use to describe their husbands. My wife spent a few years in Korea growing up, and when she told me that I thought it was hilarious....)

[racer-x]

To get mine, I extracted some frames from a video of me racing. I then used Photoshop and Image Now to make the animated GIF. I had to resize and compress the heck out of it to make the 6 kb limit.

I think I have the coolest avitar!!!

[housepig]

I think I have the coolest avitar!!!

of course you do!

I mean, who here thinks "geez, my avatar is some crap!" ??

unless they're intentionally putting up a crap avatar.. in which case they think it's cool they're being so hip and iconoclastic...

[racer-x]

You got a point housepig. It's just that I've been into bikes most of my life. And I love going fast, so a bike at speed is a beutiful thing.

Also, I built that bike from the ground up. I've raced it at a National level and won many races on it. Lots of good memories.

Me.
Mine is an example of a wasted youth, as I zoom slowly and inexplicably to my imminent death (in seven years) at 39 years old.

Well, I guess I will resurrect this thread.

Mine is the logo of The Federation of Space Loonies from the video game Solarjetman (can you guess where I got may name too?) released first on the Commodore 64 and then later on the NES. My avatar is from the NES version.

Very fun game. I still play it occationally.

[stiltman]

So why did you choose yours?

I've had my nickname for about 15yrs. I used to wear stilts. Might post a pict of me wearing them some day.

My avatar? which one? The 2 I've like the most are my current one and this one;

[housepig]

Mine is the logo of The Federation of Space Loonies from the video game Solarjetman

my question to you is... is his mouth open, and that's his chin, or is his mouth closed, and he has a black beard, and that's his neck down into his shirt?

although I'm going to go back to Toshiro Mifune soon, my current avatar is Mentok the Mindtaker, Judge on "Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law".

at this moment, he's saying "We will proceed with opening arguments. Why? Because Mentok wills it so!!"

[Solarjetman]

The black is his mouth open. Here is the original capture I did from the NES (cropped of course).

[Hardcoreruss]

I think it looks good.

[Gees]

My original avatar (before reincarnation to TGPO version) was for a reminder to my husband that he owes me a Wishnik for winning a bet. (I used to collect them when I was a kid.) The bet was who had the hero role in the series "V".

I had to go to IMDB and save pics to prove I was right.

My nickname is also from when I first met my husband and told him my full name and he said "That's a lot of Gs". So the nickname stuck - for online stuff.

I don't have enough posts yet to change my member status line

[pyrate83]

I am just a big fan of James Bond and all of the 007 movies. :P

[indolikaa]

Why did you choose your avatar?"

It matched my signature perfectly.

Of course, it may have something to do with my work on the MX Missile Program...



Then again, I can't talk about that. :P

[Will Hay]

my current avatar is my youngest son

Yeah, I can see the resemblance.

[Will Hay]

I used to wear stilts. Might post a pict of me wearing them some day.

Stilts?
