That's impossible, Snufkin was born before Stalin died. |

Mine's a drawing of an emoticon. I should change it though, as it's stolen from someone.

Mine stolen too. I just like it because it has a tendency to break my brain a little if I watch it long enough.

Mine, obviously, is a pantagram with Baphomet on it. A pagan idol of unknown origin, it has come to represent Satan as one of the demons in the Hierarchy of Hell....
No, I don't look like a goat. Nor am I a Satanist (though I have read LaVey's Bible, thank you Henry Plainview your signature is great ). It is a good way of saying, though, "I'm no friend of religion". Note: that doesn't mean I can't be a friend of religious people. Many of my friends actually are believers.
Besides, the avatar goes perfectly with a metal fan.
I guess I just love a little bit of shock. Few people would experience such ridiculous shock, though.

<<<<<<mine is self-exploratory, shamelessly so. This was such a scandalous cover in "prude" America when it came out. First the Us record companies covered the album in grey plastic wrapping paper (which only INCREASED sales) and finally, they brushed out the 2 ladies and left the leafy branches only. The cover remained the same in the UK, though !!!!!! Hilariously silly though, as some uber-Christian groups called it er.......porn !!! Europeans were howling with laughter! |

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Your Avatar is a kind of finger up to authority then? I bought that album when it came out.

It's the "Meddle" album cover. One of my favorites by Pink Floyd.

I've got this Roxy Music retrospective VHS (reviewed by the way) and that cover didn't just get censored in the US. I thought it got tweaked in the UK, too, but I'll have to check it out again. |

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Mine is a piano player, obviously, they keys being my favourite instrument, and me myself being a piano and synth player. My nick Moogtron speaks to itself, but actually I like piano and organ just as much as moogs and trons and other 'musical boxes'.
I found the drawing somewhere on the Internet, and I wouldn't be able to find it back again, to be honest, where it came from.
I like it because it's arty, it reminds me of The Blues Brothers, but the paleness of the piano player's face gives an extra arty feeling to it, in some way.
Plus, I like the colours.

I don't recognize any of the pictures in my avatar, I just kind of threw them together after some cool google searching.
Though Henry Plainview did give me LENS FLARE!

The Wings and Penguins are tied 2 games apiece. So that means 3 more games to decide whether or not my avatar stays or goes.
