Heartland

Avatars. We've all got 'em, some are hilarious, some are gorgeous, some are just plain weird. Give 'em a story. Where they've come from, where they're going...

Obvious exclusions involve, yerself - unless there's an interesting story - and boudicca for pretty much the same reason, plus I don't need a lot of bloody hormones running all over the floor. d00m, we know you're the greatest Female TARDIS driver since The Rani. I'd love to know where The Chairman got his avatar idea from - and indeed, is he himself a Timelord? He's got the name...

There's yer job description. To start you off, if you don't recognise the man to my left, you've missed out on a vital bit of British culture. Correct this immediately by procuring a copy of "Withnail and I" and watch the holiday that shouldn't have happened. Booze-soaked and psychosis-riddled Withnail is a role-model for us all.

You're up.

Yours is Richard E. Grant looking deeply unhappy as I have just rejected his amorous advances towards me...

Just realised I forgot him in the "currently lusting after" thread...

HAAAAAAAAAIRCUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTT!

Hallucienate's is the non-goth version of the "Black Planet" video...

Mine have been:
A pentagram
Two goth smilies holding the lyrics to "Jihad"
The intro picture for Tierkreis' page
The Tierkreis Logo (changed about 2 minutes ago)

If this thread was a train...

Just thinking the same; might need the scalpel of Doctor Moderator to bring this back to the point - I am actually interested in a few people's avatars!

...it'd make Virgin wonder who spiked their overpriced tea this morning.

So that pretty much excluded everyone on here this evening

why i'm bothering is anyone's guess,as i can see the next station for this thread is "trashbin valley.population:you." but here goes ...
(and only 'cause tim laughed at a joke i made earlier this week)

after the <fuckwit quote i took from the "skweeky-kleen (sic) book of state-sponsored lies about drugs"(which was a side-splitter,if you missed it) failed to be legible on certain HL themes, i dug deep into my bag of ideas and came up with a pic. of some drugs.
through a variety of demons,skulls and day-glo 'blanket slogans' -some animated,some not;all temporary- i finally came to "daswhirlything".

surely,at last- the proof you deny -that we ARE amongst you..."

[/heavy sarcasm veering into sh!te]

To my consternation, emwk, your new avatar gives me immidiate LSD backlashes, that distract from reading considerably.

The whole grim story of my avatar can be seen on yahoo.com > videos > Tiamat > Brighter than the sun.

We aim to please

mine's just a life philosophy thing

I can't really explain the Dancing Meerkat; it's just... there

I like the film

edit - not really matching the brief that is it?

The film is Dead Man for those that don't know, a film where not a lot happens but what does happen creates a mood like no other film. You could say it's a very slow paced western but that would be missing the point to a large extent.

Why my avatar? Well, I like the film and I like the picture.

by popular demand

I found on a site full of gothic images and quite liked it.

If you think I'm a pretentious arse you'll nod sagely when I point out that the circle motive is a metaphor for the underlying futility of posting on message boards.

If you don't think I'm a pretentious arse you'll believe that I made that up on the spur of the moment to answer the question.

i've no idea why i have my current one.



i might change next wednesday though.

i made it for him. we kinda came up with the idea during a discission, so i'm not sure who had the actual idea.

basically, it runs thus:

bax --> bux --> bucks --> dollars

and it seemed only right that it should be in caslon antique.

a timelord? probably, he does have the look of patrick troughton

I'd hate to know what you think the goth version of the "Black Planet" video looks like

of course wasn't gonna make my own, all my tapes are packed away.

Mine's Darwin as a monkey, because I'm a evolutionist.

Err, mine's from some American Right wing site, I found it quite funny, have some others from there like one saying 'Fuque le French... Cheese eating surrender monkeys' from there

Don't remember all of my previous ones, but the 'converstation is over there' one I had before this was one I stole from someone else but the original was pointing in the right direction, I've also had Clement Peerens (some funny rocker from Belgium) and a cover of a Mauro Pawlowski & The Grooms cd, which is quite nice music too...
Not to forget the original Obviousman I started with

And I'm always looking out for a better avatar...

Iv'e had a couple,Nik fiend,a scene from "JAWS",but Iv'e changed it again,I think I'll have this one for a while!
