It can help to have some good photo editing software. I cycle my avatar pics. The ones I used the longest were Sean Connery as Zed in Zardoz, Nigel Tufnel from Spinal Tap (various people thought it was Randy Rhoads), another Spinal Tap image with the trio, and scientists with the Doomsday Clock as I was not feeling optimistic about our future (still not, to be honest). urrgg... good god man.. I'm not sure what the hell that thing is you have for your avatart.. but it makes Zed look mighty scrumptious.. though I will always think of you as Nigel.. that was the one in the golden years.  I still have people tell me they immediately think of me when they see the Sulle corde di Aries cover and I haven't had that as an avatar in quite a few years.  I first "met," Logan as Zardoz, which cracked me up.

Very true. Some cultures don't even have the sun yet. They've been promising it in Seattle for years, but it hasn't shown up. sh*t takes longer than fiber optics.

Darth Ivan... I can only think of you, and David immediately that never messed around with flipping avatars.. and have had the same for many many years.. if not always had it.

 

Mine is Forbush Man, the pan head OG.

Having changed my avatar again (I just recycle old ones that I uploaded), it's Damien from the Omen with hellish hound. I like dogs (had a few dogs, including one from the film version of A Boy And His Dog, and the film Baxter). My family had lovely dogs, and I do love dogs, but having being bitten quite badly by a dog when young, I can get mixed feelings when it comes to man's (and some boy's) best friend. Damien's dog reminds me of the one that bit me on the way to school.

Mine's me with a migraine. 

Or rather, me and Deep Dream Generator, which is a great weird image processing tool. 

Go see.

Hi. That's Johnny Rocketfingers on the left. He hasn't moved since 2004.

Boring: Me, ca. 1998.
