I sure hope the good times aren't over.

I've had a few Bettie Page pics as an avatar cause I like looking at her.

I've had various Art Frahm pin up girls (as the one I have right now) cause I think they're ludicrous, silly, and pretty much sum me up perfectly -- and I like looking at them.

I've had a coop devil girl as my avatar when I'm feeling devilish. ;)

I've had a picture of me with my tongue sticking out when I'm feeling like doing this --> ;P

Uh, various Vargas girl pinups because I like them too.

Have had Norman Rockwell images as well when I was feeling a bit weepy and wishing I fit in with the Mormons. ;)

I change them to suit my mood.

Oh, and I had a lonely depressed pic a few days ago -- feeling down. Won't be doing that again. *hopefully* :D

When someone thinks I'm trying to flirt with my avatars I may get pissy and take it down altogether and fume. That's happened too. :)

Also have a few different Bride of Frankenstein avatars as well.

I think that's all of them?

Mine is the cover of my favorite album by my favorite band: Hysteria by Def Leppard.

Here's a closer look:

by the way Shades, I like Def Leppard too. I saw them this last year in Phoenix. They were touring with Journey. Good concert!

As far my Avatar, I can assure you that it is not the Messiah.

Just last night I was showing my aspiring-guitarist 8-year-old daughter some YouTube clips of classic 80's bands and guitarists that I liked growing up. When I showed here Def Leppard, she asked if the band was called "Def Leppard because they couldn't hear" :)

My avatar was created by a poster over at the "View from the Foyer" board. It's a green President Kimball with big ears.

The Dude reckons I have a boring avatar. I still have no idea why. Each to his own, I guess.

My avatar is Nall the white dragon from the Lunar series of RPGs. I chose him because he's kinda smart-alecky and sometimes his mouth gets him into trouble. I also chose him because I enjoy RPG video games and Anime. My sig line comes from other RPGs.
That's General Leo. He could be my friend if he weren't my enemy.

I'm a huge Calvin & Hobbes fan. Plus, the slogan in the avatar is a good one to live by.

I rotate my avatars depending on my mood. Since I'm a Bond movie fan, and Denise Richards is my favorite Bond girl, I use her avatar on a regular basis. I've also been told that we look like twins. ;)

Other avatars I like are Princess Leia and Padme Amidala since I'm a "Star Wars" fan.
