Explain your avatar

Avatar...

I just found out how to do this by reading another's thread. Mine is of a Coelacanth fish, a very interesting and freaky looking fish that I read dates back to prehistoric times. Not much to do with shaving, but kinda reminds me of myself, since I'm a bit freaky, have no neck and when you see my head from a sideview I look like a fish. Perhaps my mom should have named me fishead but then she might have wanted to throw me back.

 

Hey, new guys! Feel free to jump in!!

 

My avatar is supposed to be me. Close, but not exact!

 

Mine is just a chap from what we now think of as a simpler time.

 

I've been using Billy Childish(an English artist, painter, author, poet, photographer, film maker, singer and guitarist.).

Why? I don't know. I enjoy much of the music he has put out and he has an awesome mustache.

The logo my wife created for our business. It's usually something to do with one of my many vehicles but I like the simplicity of it now.

 

Since I updated my avatar with the new board, I guess I should make another post here.

My avatar is an Adipose from the Doctor Who episode "Partners in Crime". It's basically a life form that gets created by transforming fat from a human body into one of these creatures. In the episode they sell capsules that will cause some fat on a person to turn into an adipose at night and "the fat just walks away". Maybe not the best episode overall, but the cutest Who monster I've ever seen.

 

Haha. If only.

 

is that the episode where he runs into the loud red headed companion again? I never liked her. the monsterized fat was a sharp idea, though, and definitely made the episode.

my newest avatar is Cthulhu. or at least an artists rendition of the Great Old One.

 

Yes, you've got the right episode. While Donna wasn't my favorite companion, I must say I liked her better than the current Amy Pond. Yet, I'll even take pond when we get Rory and River - two of the best companions every IMHO.

 

Red Sox.

 

No, I'm really in the minority and my favorite companion of the new series is Martha Jones. But, with the whole loving the doctor issue she'd run her course and it was good they let her go when they did.

I also liked Captain Jack, even though I tried not to. I can't explain it as everything he stood for should annoy me.

On Donna and Rose, they were both just OK to me.

 

Its a tattoo of a straight razor that I got last year.

 

My new avatar is Opus the Penguin from the Bloom County comic strip.

 

oh but I haven't.

I liked Rose in the first series. She may have been the most three dimensional companion in Who history. But then the writing went all soap opera-y. I really liked how they brought back Sarah Jane Smith, and explored the question of what happens to departed/ left behind companions. Now if they'd only revisit Nyssa. Or Romana.

Martha was okay. But I can't stand Donna. Amy Pond's all right. I haven't been able to see this newest season everybody's enjoying, but maybe my opinion of her will change. We'll see.

And I wish they'd cast somebody else for the Doctor's wife. I used to be an ER fan and that's all I can think of when I see her on screen.

 

This is my new avatar its an old picture of Bill Shankly football player, and liverpool FC's most famous manager.
