Your Avatar Sucks!

OK, mine is not great but my son penned it - and I like it.

What is your excuse for having a totally sucking avatar? Some of them are real bad! One of the worst is the licking thing. Yuck. And I am not sure I like all these spanish guys like Paco and Camaron representing some computer desk jockey with his/her guitar in his/her lap wearing underwear...

The only ones that can't be faulted are the real people behind the poster. I like those.

Have we done this before, I have a feeling of deja-vu?

So why did you choose your sucky avatar? I wanna know.

PS this is not about you, it is about your crappy avatar. You are a great person and a fantastic guitarist, but what you choose to represent you maybe sucks...

Another possibly boring thread...

I guess I just still use the same one I have used since the start.
It's just basically neutral I suppose.

The avatars I like best are..

Daffey's

and

c's bird on a tree in an Arctic landscape.

cheers,

Ron

Mine doesn´t suck IMO. Its from the awesome movie "Highlander"! I love this movie and its music from Queen!
I have chosen it as challenge avatar. It fits pretty well because McCloud´s entire life is a challenge and he used to win. A very cool character.

Why, Thankyou very much Ron
That is an image of one of my paintings

I was inspired to use it as an avitar when posts were
talking about a Bulerias ramate
Ricardo called it a woody woodpecker sound

Damn good!

My avatar is the Wiz pulling levers behind a curtain, without much of clue of what they do... and I can relate to that

Me too! Who wants to live forever, anyway? That is on my funeral playlist for sure and I will force them to listen to "A Mi Manuel" by Pepe Habichuela - all the way through dammit.

I have a not-so-sane sense of humor (Simpsons anyone?), so I'm absolutely in love with my avatar.
A hill billy type of guy with a yellow(!!!) cap, throwing tomato sauce over a desperately trying to hide girl... ridiculous.

Simpsons anyone

I've only just started watching it actually and now it's my wind-down break at 6.00pm of an evening.

Tonight's episode featured Grandpa Simpson being chased by the Grim Reaper...

In an act of desperation, he grabbed his grandson, Bart...and held him up, saying..

"Here...take him...his soul is younger and fresher...."

I love the anarchy of it all...

cheers,

Ron

RE: Your Avatar Sucks! (in reply to cathulu)

I think one of the worst avatars is Kovachians... that licking thing.

Doit, I thought that was Braveheart but Highlander, yes I remember that. The first one was good but then iirc the sequels were bad. Lets pretend they never existed.

Nice pictures C!

I think flying the flag of Scotland says something, not something Neutral I think

I'm scrolling down the front page and when I read the title to this thread, I immediately begin to think, "I wonder if someone hates my avatar..." haha! Speak of the devil.

I'm so honored. :::::lick::::::

atm mine is one of the avatars available on Forom. I hesitated between this and the angry bee.
I had no choice because I could not upload an external (error message).

Yeah it's been like this since my photoshop accident

As for the extension, I saw that exercise in Herrero's video a few weeks ago. It's tight at the first fret but I got there the first time I tried it. So no merit, I have big hands. Now if I could just get the fingers to land where I want them too...

My avatar tells everyone how I am when you strip down the paint.

The text on the avatar says "Pingu, el travieso" which in my neanderthal english translates into "Pingu the mischievos"

Pingu is one of my very few heroes

BTW. Cathulu, I love your avatar.
