I think that is remarkably tidy. :thumbsup:

Have you had a name change// never in OT or something? I don't recognise the name, even tho you are obviously a long standing CFCer!

I'm fairly certain "Grey Fox" has been known as "Grey Fox" during the whole time I've been a member.

Fair enough. There is a lot of CFC I never venture into anymore.. mostly the "civ" bit of it! :crazyeye:

I remember a long, head-butting argument with Gogf about that once. I got nowhere, regrettably.

Ooooooh. Star dude is Abbadon that clears up a LOT of confusion.

You haven't read his sig?

I think the confusing part was that there was another user around here (not to long ago) with the exact same name. Don't know what happened to him though.

I got it from a comedian. He plays this Swedish-getto-gangster-stereotype-immigrant in a comedy show called Cirkus Möller. Every time someone says something even remotely sounding like "rumpa", he says "ruuuumpaaaa" in a funny way. He also has a rumpa-meter for every time he says it :)

I've changed my avatar for a while, will probably switch back eventually. My other avatar just fits my name so perfectly. :P

I changed my avvie to something fresh christmas has passed, although I do still love the old one.

Greetings,

In this thread (although I am sure there are duplicates), let us discuss our own avatars in general.

Who or what is your avatar? I'm sure many people look at various avatars and ponder "I wonder who that is", while others (like me) just ignore it and push it back in their minds, thinking "I'm probably dumb for not knowing who that is".

Why did you choose that avatar? Why have you chosen to use the avatar that you have? What's the significance?

I will start.

My avatar is of General Erwin Rommel. He was a general for Germany during World War II, and he's mostly renown for leading the North African campaign. Nicknamed "the desert fox", he was famous for his cunning and great strategical mind, and infamous for his rejection of Nazi fascism and racism. I could go further in detail, but if you're truly interested, you can visit the local Wikipedia page or something similar. I personally "fell in love" with the man after reading a sort-of biography.

Why do I have Rommel as my avatar? A lot of reasons, mostly complex, but I can boil it down to basically the admittance that things aren't always the way they seem. Not all Germans in WWII were evil. Rommel is an example of a good guy on the other side of the fence. And I think that stands for something, it represents something. Again, most of which I can't really explain directly. Not to mention that he's my favourite general.

Share your avatar's significance (if any).

it's pennywise's symbol. melodic punk hardcore band, with great riffs and lyrics. I find intelligent, thoughtful lyrics to be crucial in my enjoyment of a song. which is why my favourite band is Bad Religion, but their symbol:

http://www.greatdreams.com/sacred/bad-religion.jpg

is quite possibly offensive to some, so I figured I'd avoid issues in the first place and just choose #2.

Who knows...

And unless I may get permission to change my username, I don't see me changing my avatar anytime soon.

David Bowie + Hamlet

Where be your gibes now? your
gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment,
that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one
now, to mock your own grinning?

My avatar is the symbol of the rock group Queen. Why did I choose this, because they are one of the greatest bands to ever live.

Yes, there is a thread...

Mine is the badge of Finnish recon (and sissi) troops, styled in black and white to represent armored recon.

It's there to commemorate my year's service, which was one of the grandest times in my life and changed me in good ways.

My avatar is of a Mr. Thomas Earl Petty. or "Tom Petty." I chose it because I like it.

Who or what is your avatar? The actress (Lexa Doig) who plays the android Andromeda (or Rommie) in a sci-fi series of the same name a few years back, although in my current avatar she's actually in a different more recent series.

Why did you choose that avatar? It goes with my user title "Artificially Intelligent", and she's hot, and she's using a pistol. "Artificially Intelligent" is a term I'd use to describe myself (and some other people here) in that we use websearching to improve on our knowledge and understanding when engaging in discussion here, generally sounding (and legitimately becoming) much more well-informed than we were prior to doing so. Also, I enjoy looking at hot women - particularly ones with an off switch, and my avatar is as good a place as any to display one. Also, I'm a gun nut. :)

particularly ones with an off switch

Perhaps this is the source of being interested in stuff like a "safety word".

Mine is (for the time being) Archduke Franz Ferdinand, I picked this one because I thought it was funny.

That's Lexa Doig? I really should have noticed.

Anyway, didn't you use to have an Asian woman as your avatar? Who was that?

edit: or perhaps she was a regular brunette??

It's my default avatar. I sometimes switch around, but this is my default. It's indicative of the power of the USA and why we get to give the finger to the UN. (see sig!)

I might change mine to a hawk (instead of eagle) with a flag background. I'm a patriot and a hawk, but the eagle might portray nationalism as much as hawkism and I'm not a nationalist.

I'll be on the lookout for some flag + hawk pics.

I'd be disappointed to see the squinting eagle go :(

Mine is a llama on Isla Del Sol in Lake Titicaca, Bolivia. It is part of a picture I took on a trip there.

Mine was the Cascadian Separatist flag but I like crows so I put a crow poking its head out.

Mine is Frank Sinatra. I like Sinatra's music, sure: he's one of my favorite singers. His music gave confidence years ago when I needed it. I like the avatar itself because Frank is "looking up". I'm optimistic about where I'm going in life.

Of course, at the moment he has a Santa hat because I haven't bothered taking off my Christmas avatar. :lol:

Ah, yeah, you're talking about Boomer (among other names), a Cylon in Battlestar Galactica. I had her as an avatar for a stretch, and also Six for a little while, too.

Edvard Beneš (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edvard_Bene%C5%A1), Leader of the President of Czechoslovakia, then leader of the Czech Resistance during WWII, and then president of Czechoslovakia. I found the guy after a wiki-walk. I think it started with the Nazis, moved onto Reinhard Heydrich (Who would have made a nice avatar if he wasn't the architect of the Holocaust), from there to the Czech Resistance, and then Edvard Beneš himself. Also stumbled across František Moravec, who, while not avatar material, was an under appreciated badass of WWII.

In case you're sensing a theme here, or you've been stalking me around the internet (in which case, bully good job!) I like using black & white (or sepia tone) photos of semi-obscure world leaders as avatars. We could speculate on some psychological motivation for all this, my pathological need to feel world and superior, a desire for respect, yadaya,but really, I just picked up the habit when playing Nation States, where practically everyone does that, and continued it. And old photographs simply have more class than modern ones that show you every zit and nose hair.

How I suck at recognising faces.

Mine is, as my user title says, Alexei Sayle. He's my favourite comedian.

Mine's a button from my civ IV mod

I made a few other similar ones including a para, so I might change it to that

Dutch flag + fire = dutchfire

Who or what is your avatar? Samus Aran rendered in Fallout 3 armed with a classic P94 Plasma Rifle seen in Fallout Tactics (not the bulky P94 from Fallout 1 & 2)

Why did you choose that avatar? Heck, I like sci-fi babes with guns

PS: Don't we already have a thread similar to this, also discussing our titles as well?

Mine is Jerry Garcia, famous guitarist and front man of the band "Grateful Dead" who are my favorite musical group of all time. I use it because he is my favorite rock guitarist, and his music and philosophical views had a large influence on who I am as a person today (musical tastes, fixation with 60s anything, etc.) and the way he looks in this particular shot is quite nice (and you gotta admit, a young skinny Jerry is way more pleasing to the eyes than a old fat Jerry)

When I made the decision to move away from the stock CfC avatar, I originally wanted to do a George Harrison avatar as he is my favorite Beatle, but I think there's someone on here who already uses George as his avatar, so I opted for Jerry instead.

Take one of the Athene avatars. :p

aw HELL naw

aw HELL naw

Sorry Dachs, just way too tempting.

Dachs, don't pay attention to these Philistines. They don't appreciate a good Michelle Branch avatar.

I thought it was obvious that Dachs wasn't going to switch to an Athene avatar....

Check out my new avatar.

Hardly a difference. ;)

The last one looked retarded, this one looks a little more badass :D

He looks confused. Or dazed. Maybe both.

Badass and confused... Sounds like an accurate description of me :lol:

I think he's got more of the, "I think I'm going to kill you" face.

I think he looks like he just saw a fine woman.

Art is meant for interpretation :)

Should I change Chavez?

Chipp Zanuff!

Well, something Chavez-related maybe :p

Got a new usertitle.

Some nice potential avatars :)

Just save them and reupload them through tinypic with a smaller resolution. Then crop the parts you don't want.

I really need a new sig and avatar.

Oh, and since I just noticed this thread, Dachs, your old Avatar with the picture of Athena, that wouldn't be taken from The Incredible Hercules would it?

Avatar is too colourful maybe?

You went with the parrot one, that's all that matters.

yaaaaaay, you finally switched to Super Chavez after long last!:woohoo:

what about these:

nope the one you already picked is the best.

Agreed.

nope the one you already picked is the best.

This is clearly the superior.

What should I change my avatar to?

King Francis.

I really liked that quote you used to have in your sig about Milan and Francis :love:

You do.

Yeah, it would. Marvel's Athene is a pretty cool guy

Isn't Athene a woman?

So I got tired of old cigar-toting Brecht and switched themes to the great Russian bass soloist Leonid Kharitonov. Thoughts?

You should have kept Brecht.

NO!!! I whole-heartedly approve of your new one :goodjob:

There's no reason I can't go back. And I just may, he's a man I really admire. But I'm on a Karitonov...what's the word, rampage? Temporary obsession? Man-crush? Thing. Its a Kharitonov thing. I dunno, his music just really speaks to me.

I'm now Francois I.

Very well. Can't blame you for that.
But Brecht was unique, and he taught me one very important thing which i'd wish more people were aware of.

I'm now Francois I.
Excellent news, Your Majesty.:hatsoff:

I almost died of laughter there! I thought this Latin lunatic had a tiny beret
on the head of his parrot. Now, that would be the ultimate awesome...!

Mm, I'm really digging this current setup. Quote is from Hamlet.

Celebrating a quite depressing achievement.

I'm now Francois I.

yaay you went with my suggestion!

Celebrating a quite depressing achievement.

:lol:

Well, you're almost out of CFC buddy ;)

In Pasta We Trust! All hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster! Hence my new avatar.

Celebrating a quite depressing achievement.

At least you got yourself a nice gold trophy?

Celebrating a quite depressing achievement.

Oh, I can tell a hint dropped when I see one!

Well done on the 25k, sirrah!

Have spent the last week reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72. I'm very impressed, also got some nice quotes from them.

Eevee is probably the best Pokemon ever. I couldn't think of a better usertitle than just "Eevee" to explain what the picture is of for the two people who aren't in the know.

My avatar is from Archie Sonic issue 118, where Eggman and Snively are turned organic while Tails and Sonic are turned into machines, as part of a test to see which is superior. The stakes are high: the winner of the match is returned to normal, the loser is forced to stay in their transformed state.

...Sonic and Tails obviously win.

...Doesn't change the fact Sonic just looks menacing as all hell as a Terminator-thingy. (The second time he's been roboticized, too) So I decided to use it as an avvy.

The "Roboticized Hero" thing is self-explanatory.

Using the same avvie for ages now - I try different variations, but this suits me best.
Not to mention the secret police of CFC told me not to use any SS type uniforms, as
we all have to pretend we have a happy world and WW2 never happened, etc...

The Custom Title is my ancient birthright as "Enemy Ace, Spam Knight of the Sky."

Accept no substitutes or prostitutes.

:)

I went back to Athene for awhile.

You do.
Any suggestions?

Yeah, it would. Marvel's Athene is a pretty cool guy
Tries to make Hercules competant and doesn't afraid of anything, eh.

Any suggestions?
I dunno. Are there any good Brian Boru paintings out there?

Indeed. Last I heard they'd just beaten the crap out of the Skrull gods, were thinking about getting Zeus out of Hades, and were pissing off Hera to no small extent.

I'm pretty content with my current avatar.

Of course, that's what I said with all the last ones too....

John Mayer playing basketball??

mines is Little Walter

It's Mark Cuban's face photoshopped onto Dirk Nowitzki.... but good guess. :lol:

I'm thinking of changing my avatar. Suggestions?

anything but francis

No, but there are many terrible ones.
Hugh O'Neil is more interesting anyway.

Oh man, you haven't even gotten to the best stories yet.

I'ma raging raider about to take yer good ya rich folks! :mad:

He was awesome until after the wars. :undecide:

NO SPOILERS :mad: :D

He was awesome until after the wars. :undecide:

You can't just say that and then nothing. You have to explain why!

Chipp Zanuff, the American druggie ninja

He was awesome until after the wars. :undecide:

Who is it?

Who is it?

Helmuth von Moltke the Elder

You can't just say that and then nothing. You have to explain why!
He was like you with your semi-serious apocalyptic visions of Germanic-Slavic race wars, except he was totally serious and spent like half his time* on position papers trying to get Bismarck to dump the Russian alliance and launch a preemptive war against Russia. I have my doubts as to whether he was entirely mentally stable during the late 1870s and 1880s. Even his war plans were subpar and needed to have a good injection of sanity under Graf von Waldersee.

* = hyperbole. But only slightly.

Back to Brian.
