It's time to give my avatar a change of wardrobe. Any suggestions?

And also, do you think I should give my avatar a name?

A spiffy suit, and a top hat methinks!
Don't change the eyebrow(s)

I thought it was meant to be a representing you, therefore it should be called Buzz or Floyd or something equally mannish

And it should wear some sort of helmet, so Doors can't claim that he drew the hair. Maybe a jockey/polo outfit?

Me (stops drawing): No
Ella: Star Trek?
Me: Yes!

Maybe a broom to show "sweeper" status? (Or perhaps a vacuum cleaner to avoid the witch connotations)

Curse you, Electric Man, curse yoooouu!!! Yes, it is supposed to represent me, but I need a name for it that won't be confused with me myself. Like "Mini-Me" or something, I don't know.

Suggestions have been duly noted, and are being ruminated upon.

Spears are good. Great for prodding colleagues or an impromptu barbecue. Comes with interchangeable heads for removing cobwebs or spleens. What more does a woman need?

I'm looking at your Avatar and I'm thinking ........ "Syntax"

Superb! *performs curtsey with a flourish*

...but what will Syntax The Avatar wear? I can give you the name of my Armourer, if needs be.

I drew the hair!

Why are pirates called pirates?

Pff. It's hard to get the "dodgy kebab shop owner" hair just right.

I'll take all the credit going

Why are pirates called pirates?

I'm seeing grass skirt and coconut bra..to represent the balmy climes of Hastings (well its got ocean which seems to be as good as it gets in England)...


Although with the name syntax maybe something like Frau Sherlinger (I've forgotten her name from GP)... Cardigan, snail bun hair, tissues up the sleeves, glasses and a beady eyed, sucked lemon face...Sort of like this:

PhD Student: Research information sheet

There once was a man named Bruce
Who liked to sit on a spruce
He ate lots of chowder
And yelled at me louder:
"I'm talking to YOU, Mrs. Hughes!"
--> The Literary Genius: Mowgli

Syntax has a new outfit for now. And I don't even have to pester Doors for his webspace now!

Edit - minor error.
