The site has an issue with censorship needing to cover nipples to keep 'the powers that be' happy so we end up marring perfectly good art. My avatar was a protest against that, I like it so I kept it.

that's one of the reasons i don't show the cover of our 2nd album in public

I collect shells. A conchologist rather. This pic is a very rare and highly prized Pterynotus phyllopterus, only found in Guadeloupe and Martinique. Took me years to acquire this, and it’s a peach colour, but in the avi it looks yellow for some reason.

I'm rockin' Monotonprodukt 07, a vital ur-text of electronic music with a killer and eclectic tracklist, one of the best albums of the '80s and probably the single best album ever to come out of Austria. Pro-tip: the tracklist works still better when played back-to-front.

Anyway...my avatar is rather obvious.....although it is also just how I feel after I teach my Year 11 bottom set on the last lesson on a Friday afternoon......Just a pool of tears!

My name is actually from that Steely Dan song.....but I used to spend a lot of time reading about eastern mysticism and doing zen bench sitting and some Hindu meditation so   I decided on that avatar which I have used on most forums over the years. 
Now I am old.....so it seems to fit.

That's a character from the comedic Japanese show Cromartie High School who is probably/almost certainly meant to be Freddie Mercury. He is constantly barechested, often seen riding a horse, and is heralded by Queen's "Procession".

the cover of our second album "It's a Dog's Life", also in a limited edition of 500 copies, is extremely daring, so we chose not to use that one

Nice thread!

Mine, of course is a slightly blurred image of my political adviser, Alfred E. Neuman of MAD magazine.
