Explain your avatar

Boy, Kevin, you really laid an egg with that one. But, at least it wasn't a total cluck up.

(oops, wrong thread. )

 

That's my son (6-2 QB) & I after a 12-0 victory over their arch rival's homecoming

 

Recent change out to this avatar. Someone PM'd me and asked who the man with the pipe was.
He's actually from an old 'Lifebuoy' shaving cream ad; updated with color, violet shades and a soul patch. My sons say the man has a resemblance to me—with the exception of the pipe and heavily-applied Wildroot.

 

The soul patch is a nice touch.

 

Ben Hur, actually. I have seen a number of Apollo and Ben Hur razor blade wrappers that differ only in the name. Both brands must have been owned by the same company at some point (or maybe always?).

 

Captain Oveur: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?

 

Seems to be common to Solingen.

 

Night owl who loves his coffee.

 

Robert Rauschenberg, Retroactive II, 1963.

 

I just really like good cigars!

 

My son at Inspiration point Urraca Messa, Philmount Scout Ranch.

 

I like boats. Specifically ships of war from the eighteenth century.

 

A wedding cake topper that resembles my wife and I on our wedding day.

 

Lots o' new members...

 

I came upon this sign at an old school pharmacy in Highlands, NC. I like the subject matter but was really drawn to it since Wilson is our son's first name. So I shot a picture of it and have used it for over a year now.

 

My avatar is because of my love for the horror genre.

 

That's just wrong.

 

I started using this avatar a couple years back when I was strictly using boar brushes and now I just find him charming (like me).

Besides that I a visual type of guy; meaning I remember a face, but a name escapes me. When people change their avatar I go "who's that new guy".

 

Sorry for the confusion. I've changed my avatar a number of times. My current one is my youngest grandson lathering up for a play shave.

 

That's ok, that why your on the list for getting coal in your stocking.
