Explain what is meaning of your Avatar, to you and why you picked exactly that one pic.

My first Avatar was Marvin, robot from The Hitchiker's guid to the galaxy, my favourite book/movie.

My second Avatar represented my favourite myth animal, seahorse or Hippocampus(I know there is also a real animal called like that).

My third Avatar was a mixture of:
Picture of me (only my eyes)
Some picture from the internet
And my signature

My fourth (and I hope last) Avatar is Irish Leprecon.

Its first job was a car air freshener but it is currently working as my avatar. The artist is Amy Brown and it goes along with my name.

I so do hope that that was just an accidental misspelling.

Wasn't the robot's name Marvin?


"Mister?! You thought I was a man? Haha--come to think of it, that ain't so funny!"

Hm... basically the same story here... Its a corner of a drawing I did (which is actually showing a friend, drinking a cup of coffee). I got used to it by now.

Mine's The Emperors New Avatar... its only stupid people who see a box with a red x in it

When it is behaving itself however, it is Yoda in cartoon form... which generally still revolves around the fact that my Nickname in school was Yoda due to being about an inch shorter than my mates... plus people seem to like my impression of him...

My avatar is hand-drawn by me, except for the hair, which Doors added to the original. It started off as a sort of self-portrait, but has since developed a life of its own. Its name is Syntax.

This page needs a bit of updating, but gives you the background

Ella: Is it a giraffe?
Me (stops drawing): No
Ella: Star Trek?
Me: Yes!

I changed my Avatar to Dougal from Father Ted because of my love for the show and the character. My old avatar which I had for a couple of years was Winston Churchill and I was never really sure why I picked it really. I think it was because I look a bit like him.


Back to stay!

Lies!! Kenneth does not look like Winston Churchill.

My avatar for a while was a OM, then it was a praying lady, then I found this one on the generic avatar site here. I think it suits me.


Fuck Shoes.

Album cover of Head for the Door by The Exies. It's symbolic for a number of reasons, none of which are very interesting.

I should probably change it sometime, but no real replacement has presented itself.
