AVATAR INSPIRATIONS

[johnsteed]

Hmmm, I at times cross-up "tennis_balls" handle with "Slotmachine's" Billy Bob's Santa Claus X-Mas avatar from last year. Then again, when I first started coming here, it seemed like there were about 100 Bart Simpsons posting all-at-once.


I think it's pretty straightforward why I go with this avatar. I'm sticking to the theme, even though there's nothing BRITISH about my writing. I still write "favorite" and "yogurt" like so... where I should ACTUALLY be spelling-it-out as "favourite" and "yogourt" (although I'm unsure if I've ever used "yogurt" in any of my posts).


Maybe I should have discussed this in the other thread about handles (and why we chose the name we chose), but I originally never actually wanted to be "johnsteed". I just used it because I needed to register in order to see all of those lovely "screenshots". It just happened to be the first name that popped into my head. While I DO like "John Steed" from the AVENGERS, I REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE "Emma Peel"! I've yet to see another TV character who can combine as much class/dignity/fun/strength/wit/smarts as Dame Diana Rigg was able to portray her.


But... I'm pleased-as-punch with the "johnsteed" handle (although I should have originally spelled it as "John Steed"... I didn't know I'd be coming here as much as I have been).

Mine is pretty self-explanatory if you play 'Blackjack Switch'.

Wish I had the knowhow to make the stars flash though.

batman just makes me chuckle every time. like bob barker. or william shatner.

one time on batman, he's visiting commissioner gordon's daughter, and she says "batman would you like to sit and have a soda while we wait for my father to call?" batman: "no thank you miss gordon, that might be too relaxing."

and the sets on the show were always ridiculous.

Basically inspired by this,

I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I loved this game and it really opened my eyes to the human condition.
Plus, sometimes I feel like the guy in the picture... especially when I lose at slots.

I hear the short story/book by Ellison is great too.

Well, if someone knows finnish language it's easy to understand why I chose this avatar...
siili = hedgehog
I like this animal, it's innocent looking, but with spikes to protect itself from dangers..lovely animal..little bit like me

[RobWin]

Well my avatar represents my heritage (American Indian) plus the dude looks pretty damn cool with deep thoughts too !!

I await the onslaught, but am brave enough to admit that ...

I TURN THE BLOODY "VIEW AVATARS" OPTION OFF!!

I see that option as being an inspiration all its own.

Wasn't going to post re why I am using this Avatar, but I am starting to get my life back on track again, as well as my sense of humour.

But be warned.....this displays my macabre sense of humour, so if you are of a weak disposition, or easily offended, look away now!

I was widowed recently (last year), so the Corpse Bride just seemed like me in reverse!

Told you...macabre!
