Avatars

[Atheist]

Why do some people here show avatars which are photos of their heroes? E.G. Johnson, Farridge, Thatcher, etc. It seems a bit puerile to me. Sorry if I offend some people, but I do find it odd.

I can't see that it's any better or worse than, for the sake of example, choosing a Muppet character for one's avatar ;-)

Time to get yourself an avatar, Atheist? This, perhaps?

Animal IS Buenchico's hero, Atheist.

My avatar however, is a pic of me. Don't know what that makes me
.......... a narcissist ?

[Buenchico]

It just makes you the saxiest guy around here, TB ;-)

I think it's difficult here to get it right tbh, I've had pics of myself, artwork, cartoons, symbols,jokes, just weird stuff I like but I've never managed to find anything I really like and that represent me. I think by and large people's avatars are interesting though and I don't many puerile unless I particularly hate the subject matter (Nigel Farage for example is the epitome of naff) but even then he's clearly someone's hero so who am I to crush their fanboying x

I chop and change but my current avatar is on the person who bosses me around, tells me when to go to bed, when to get up and when I should have my meals.

I think that he is handsome♥

[Buenchico]

You only 'think' that he's handsome, Susan? I'm sure that Frankie knows he is!

ooops its time to change mine!

[wolf63]

Chris, you have a point. His late sister was a beautiful lady but she had a black face and my camera skills are limited.

Anyhow I am not stupid enough to live with four of them. :-)

[Atheist]

I mean, I can see why Calico would like to be seen as an attractive female, and Khandro like a mean dude, but why would anyone want to be seen as a frog? I'll try to dig out an old self-portrait - at least that would be me. I never have liked to identify with 'teams' or 'gangs' or Che icons. Nor would I want to portray myself as God, like OG and AOG. God bless you all.

Mine rather obvious I would have thought, nothing puerile at all surely.

[Atheist]

No Canary, yours is nice. But how on earth do I get an avatar?

[wolf63]

Does it matter what is used? My eyesight is not at its best these days. All that is needed is a bit of colour to enable to work out who is posting.

Thanks Ellie, Baldric and Buenchico. I'll try it when I have time.

Mine is definitely my hero and hopefully also humorous, although I change it dependant on the season and for certain events i.e. The Open Golf or Le Tour de France.

Hmm, good question.
