Mine, is of me with a bolt sticking out of my head. It's just a latex Halloween glue on, but it was a lot of fun. It shows my fun loving, and unorthodox nature. Does anyone have an aspirin?

 

My avatar is a visualization of one transformation of an E8 Lie Group since I was fascinated by Garrett Lisi's theory. It's also a good representation of my existence; a spot of darkness in the center of an otherwise bright and colorful universe.

 

Go Go Gophers! was a series of cartoons with Underdog, Tennesee Tuxedo and Klondike Kat.

This guy, Chief Running Board and his scout, Rumpled Feathers, represents innovation, creativity and all the enjoyment of "sticking it to 'the man '".

I don't know if I should thank or blame this cartoon for teaching me how to interact with those who think they are in charge.

Here is an example...

I was looking forward to your explaining your avatar... and man, I'm definitely not disappointed... , that was way cool!

 

Mine is a patch honoring those who were called "Loranimals". I am a member of that group as I was part of the Loran program for 21 years of my 24 year career. For the history of that patch, visit http://www.loran-history.info/loranimal-patch.asp A group of veterans decided on the patch.

 

Mine is a picture of a shotgun shell; a particularly nasty one, dubbed "zombie max". I chose that as my avatar because it's nearly as badass as I am.

 

I think mine is obvious. My old avatar didn't fit anymore.

@Wendy -- FWIW I assumed you avatar was inspired by the S. Korean flag???

Nope, Ying/Yang, Female/Male blended.

14 years of martial arts training left its mark.

You never saw my old avatar...

 

As regards my avatar -- let's just say its subject (as pictured -- and quite despite the silly costume) seems to embrace those most exalted human qualities - to wit boundless: Intellect, wisdom, courage, strength of character, perspective and independence of mind -- IOW all the qualities I can but vainly strive for -- yet fully vested in my 'namesake' (i.e. Hypatia of Alexandria)

PS -- Yikes! Having reviewed my post it looks a bit like proselytizing! --- Not my intent - just explaining my choice of avatar sans an agenda - I promise!

 

Now you just need Linux to complete the transformation.

Hey now! let's have no LINUX bashing! -- Being, as I am, in said transition myself - It makes me 'all sick and crazy inside' --- of course that could be down to the mouthwash that passes for Dom Pérignon at Bellisio's

 

Mine is part of a project that I had great fun with.

For some elusive reason I find it reminiscent of Groucho Marx --- Odd that

I remember that I saw that symbol somewhere on here.

 

I sometimes wonder if anyone has any clue at all as to what mine is

is it not a spider? You and Takao hang out and watch ants together, right?

It's you, cliff-climping down a ravine. Wwe can see some ropes and a helmet. Yes?

I hope that you don't really feel that way.

And since I have posted in the thread, I guess I should mention my avatar. It's how I feel about people who text and drive. If they want to endanger themselves, that's one thing, but putting other people's lives at risk by texting and driving is just as bad as drinking and driving. It should be penalized just as severely.

And it's a rather noble message you're conveying, I daresay. May I ask if you or someone you know have ever had a an incident or close call due to one of those irresponsible text-drivers?

A seal tied to a glacier?

Or perhaps, via an alternate perspective, a mountaineer/spelunker scaling a canyon/'sink hole'...?
