I didn't have an avatar until 2007 when Nite Raidah made me one.  It was nice and simple and clear, and I didn't need a magnifying glass to figure out what it was.  I liked it and I've never changed it.

I didn't choose my avatar.

My avatar chose me.

My first one was a leopard, which is my favorite animal.

Then I switched to a stillshot from Goodfellas of Tommy as he's gunning down Spider in cold blood, just for him telling Tommy to go f himself. 

This one is a somewhat halloween themed - black cat, full moon. After this I'll probably go back to a leopard.

I'll admit, this thread was a thinly veiled attempt to get a poster's whose Avatar I like a lot to spill how he came up with the Avatar....Embarrassed  Instead of doing the adult thing and asking him right out how he decided on his avatar...Embarrassed

So who is the poster whose avatar origin you're curious about?

 The back end of Jimbo's avatar isn't showing.  If you ask him nicely, maybe he'll let you use that part of it....  LOL

Wait a minute.... it WAS mine you were asking about?

I misread your comment as it WASN'T mine you were talking about.

I chose mine because it 's the cover of an album by a musical duo I'm kind of a fan of, & because the picture makes kind of a statement about television, which fits in with the purpose of this forum.

Yep.  June 3, 2007, to be exact...back when we were younger and times were more innocent.  People could leave their doors open at night back then, and neighbors were always there to help one another.

How did you decide on your Avatar?
 
'cause Nathan wouldn't let me use my favorite pic of MissyDWolf & Bad ol'Self (below), I went and found something a little more lame.
