So what's the deal with your Avatar anyway?
Give us the 411 on what it's all about.
Then, what alternative ones did you discount?

I'll start :
These two masks appeared in the window of my neighbour's place one day. Clearly she had been knitting them for a while. I grabbed my camera and shot them quickly expecting them to be gone the next day. They remained staring in at us for over three years until they moved. They are so typically Canadian but with the most outrageous expressions.

Alternatives :
A recent shot of Dax that sits in my unused Avatar folder.

My current avatar is the photo of one of my many rings. Although my surname has a "Drakula" (Turkish spelling of Dracula) in it, I've always been interested in the lichdom side of the undead. There's simply a skull on one side of the ring's front face, and I call it a lich; there are also tiny bones on its left flank (which are not seen in this image). On the right part of the ring's front, there's something more like the backside of a card, like a typical playing card or a tarot card; it can also be the back cover of a book. On its right flank there's a big skeleton hand.

I don't f**king know what my new avatar is... To be more precise, it is clearly a mask, but I don't know what kind of a mask it is. I liked and downloaded the image long ago, and decided to use it as my avatar. The thing is, Google image search doesn't bring any results, so it is a "shadowy" mask for me. I use the alias ALIENIVS now so this mask seems to fit the concept.

I've had many avatars over the years, but generally fall back to one involving the band that my user name indicates I am a fan of.

My new avatar is something you'll never understand. Few people can know where it is from, however it is highly unlikely to see one of them on this forum. Even if you know/learn where it is from, I highly doubt if you can decipher what is inside that astrology book I wrote. That's how I gird up my loins and bind all the astrologers with my supreme system. Wait and see the fall of every other astrological system. Hahahahahaaaaaaaa. (evil laughter)

Am I a "fish" (or two) according to your sh*tty system? You'll pay for this... Evil Smile

Same with me, I've had many avatars on PA. I used to change them up for the holidays, my fav being Christmas Eddie ones.

But for several years now I've had "screaming Neil" as he is my favorite musician and lyricist of all time, as well being part of my all time favorite band. And now I'll never change it......

Pieter Brueghel (1525 - 1569): Hunters in the Snow (1565) [detail]. One of my favourite paintings!

A QUIZ QUESTION: in which classic film there's a dialogueless scene with Baroque music and pictures of paintings, including Hunters in the Snow? Smile


One of my earlier avatars was Camel's A Nod and a Wink cover (which is also nowadays someone's avatar, can't remember whose).

Can we get a hint? Maybe the year of release?

^ Ok, I give two hints. The film is from the early 70's, and one could say it's "namely" prog related!

Perfect...got it! Good clues.
Glad to see the original has a higher rating than the remake on IMDB.

^^ 👍, JD. ^ Not The Great Gatsby. We're heading at Eastern Europe, both for the film and the prog relation. This should be very easy now.

My avatar is my actual cat posing and looking "Chill".  His actual name is MaCavity (named after the protagonist in the play "Cats").   The name TCat comes from the song "Tommy the Cat" by Primus.
