Is your avatar you?

[Tin Pot]

I don't like certain people much, so when I join a forum I try to use an avatar that will annoy those people and alert me to their presence.

E.g Cyclists who resent car drivers...Avatar: Porsche
Porsche drivers who resent aristocracy...Avatar: Francis Underwood
Golfers who hate fun... Avatar: Lego Spaceman
Athletes who love bikes...Avatar: Burning Cinelli
And so forth.

I used my extra second coming up with this question: How well does your avatar represent you? (A search before posting yielded this; consider this a bump in a very slightly different direction.) Clearly some avatars literally are pictures of their users, while others are a bit of a guessing game. If you've chosen something other than a self portrait, have you in fact chosen a kind of self portrait after all?

It is me.. It is a self portrait... it is very very accurate

I thought he was a decorated hydrologist.
Presumably you're going to now tell me he doesn't have a 7 year old African Green Monkey, either.

He also doesn't have a fluorescent pink porcupine.

Stick with me kid and you'll learn a lot of things.

I'm sure I've done this "joke" before but here goes.....

You may find my avatar a little confucian as it's not me.

Just some random stock photo but I do a lot of stuff in China so it seemed appropriate

I thought it was a character in a film...

Good things?

With all respect to my elders, wrong things. Look more closely:

No, closer than that

Sorry, I stand corrected. If that porcupine has been dipped in anything, it's a vat of mauve.

You're trying too hard.

I did say you were too high maintenance.

Nope. I've low expectations and you've failed to reach them.

Still not climbed to my low expectations. Clue - think ankle height.

 

[coffeejo]

No, but it's what I might look like if I were a cat

 

[HertzvanRental]

Not me, but I used to own what I'm on!!
