Just an inquiry; on people's avatars. Explain why and how you got your avatar the way it is now!
I noticed that the avatar a person uses has a subconscious, yet significant effect on the impact of what the person is saying. This works in particular for ItnaKlipse and Smiscalion, whose avatars, well, force upon you a certain amount of respect for the avatar, and furthermore, for what they are saying. I do assume you guys aren't really russian tsars or preachers...

Nice idea, Tiddles!
Well-
The Bull. Look at him. Ain't he just cute, posing for the camera like that inmidst the mad run, a shirt of the bastards who tease him dangling from his horn.. In all the terror it spreads somehow understandable and even funny and - yupp, cute. It's one of my absolutely favourite pictures.
That's why.
Oh, and it drops bulls
hit wherever it goes by.

Mine was inspired by an advert for Clorets breath fresheners on UK TV which had a bunch of meerkats, one of whom said at the end, "Have you ever seen me dancin'? I mean really dancin'?"

Czars and TV priests don't "force" any "respect" on me whatsoever...and my respect for what you have to say is, naturally, 100% independent of the image to the left of it.

This topic is mostly meaningless to me anyway, as I'm one of the (very) few to use the avatar-less 'Summer' Heartland theme.

Well, Steven, your avatar goes quite well with the Industrial Groove Machine color scheme!

Whatever my avatar is, I am sure that it makes Herr Blast very happy.
One request: avoid "who has the best [or worst] avatar" discussions.

Of course it's mine, otherwise I'd have stolen yours a looooong time ago.
