Why did you.....

Pick your Avatar?

I went through a few in a very short time. Mine is a self portrait. I travel a good bit and am in a technical field. I spend a lot of time training people.

My favorite phrase:

"I'm in hurry up and wait mode."

Spend a lot of time banging my head on the wall in frustration. Well, I also hit my head on something every single day. Must be a character traight.

I picked mine because that is the way I feel most of the time. And I think it's kinda funny.

I picked mine because you can never have enough Will Ferrel or Cowbell.

Just another angry Scot. There is a resemblance though... a six pack in there somewhere.

I have changed a few times.

The english Dennis The Menace avatar I had I thought was appropriate when I was an administrator. I have since changed it 10 days ago or so.

He appears to look like me when I grow my beard.

The other one I had was the "Star Fleet Command " Insignia as I am a trekker.

The very first one I had was guy hammering the engine of a ca,r but that avatar ended up getting commented on a few times ,so I dropped it.

I change mine all the time. Kinda dynamic I guess.

For some reason I am currently in a reflective mood. Hence the Elmer Fudd with a shot gun. I love to bird hunt...but, mainly...well...I used to sing songs to my girls with a ...well...slightly Elmer speech inflection. Or impediment as the case may be.

Songs like "Waidaw Wove" (Radar Love) or "Fiwa" (Fire) and countless others. Elmer impersonating Elvis used to be a big hit around my house...

...They never liked me doing that in public though ...go figure.

I'll change it again in a while.

I changed a whole bunch at first but I really like this one, will probably change again as soon as I find another one that I like. Not really looking for another one though.

I'm on my third one. I started with a pencil drawing of my Tiger, but got tired of it after a while, it was just too hard to see any detail in such a small pic. Went to an animated GIF of a leaping tiger but tired of that real quick. This one's simple and you can almost read it...except for the "Powered by Ford" under the word Tiger at the bottom.
