Explain your avatar

The avatar I use in a hot pepper forum I belong to. I'm a firefighter and liked the flames...

 

Like a better looking Bob Hope.

 

That is just beyond cool. I lived in L.A. for a while and sadly never made a trip to Salinas. One of these days I will for sure. Thank you for sharing these. Some great pictures!

 

It's just me, lol.

 

I'm a certified beer judge - this pic was taken while judging a competition. Shaving is my #2 hobby, if you can call it that. Beer & homebrewing is #1 for me.

 

I've always heard that honesty is the best policy, but now I'm not so sure.

 

But, ya pur like a walrus when you get shaved.

 

But Rich, we can't all strut around looking ubercool all the time.

 

That's who I thought it was!!

 

Nothing more than the equivalence of my first DE shave. Very little experience and no technique.....i would have done just as well with an axe. I imagine I'll do just as poorly when I try my first straight.

 

True. Very true.

 

A sketch of me done by artist Jim Hatzell while we worked as extras in Dances with Wolves.

 

This is Lulu, greatest dog that ever lived. We lost her to a stroke and old age October 28, 2009.

 

Since becoming a member here, I've taken quite a number of pictures.
I didn't know much about re-sizing a picture, or editing either, but I ran into
a basic photo editing tool (Microsoft paint) one day and started dabbling.
"Bristle Man" is just a photo of my favorite vintage Gillette Super Speed
with some whiskers and a bushy mop added. This was the first photo
I messed with using Paint. I'm certainly no artist, but I keep him around
to remind me that an old dog can learn a new trick once in a while.

 

I am an avid metal detectorist. the image is the loop of my metal detector.

 

You should wander over to the Custom Title thread and see if your new B&B title will transfer. It would go well with your avatar.

 

My current avatar is just a dude from a vintage double-edge blade wrapper. It looks cool and is traditional wetshaving oriented, so there you have it. Besides, I quickly got tired of the shaving brush I was previously using for an avatar.

 

that be apollo.

 

My current one is the dragon from Chris Caballero's skate board. I used to be really into skate boarding and Caballero was awesome. Not sure why I thought of it the last time I changed my avatar. Hoping the dragon imparts wisdom I guess ...

 

I had to re-read that several times as I kept seeing it as 'that be a pollo' (I'm obviously spending too much time reading Spanish)
