What does your avater tell us about you???

Mine is a photo I took of a blue iguana. Background color is my favorite and screen name is a twist on argentum - silver - a favored elemental metal.

I think my avatar says "you're usually late to the thread, you don't pay attention, hear strange voices that talk in a language unfamiliar to you, you're overfond of your own wit -- or lack of it -- and a terminal thread killer."

I didn't know ATS was so anti-intellectual.

12 people in one thread can't follow simple instructions (my point is made).

Enjoy your little sandbox children, I'm off to play with the adults.

If you are so intelligent then why not put your point across in a less offensive way?

Ever heard the phrase "I am wise because I know nothing"?
Every wise man from Socrates to Shakespeare has said something approaching this.

Smart people deserve to be ridiculed and ostracized.

Hope that makes you feel good.

You are like the intellectuals that Pol Pot used to hate and kill.... if you are so smart, just take the glasses off!

Gosh Argentus! I love reading your posts. You are always neutral yet very wise. I think your avatar shows that you are indeed an observer, slow to judgment and anger. I always learn something new from your responses to threads you participate in. Keep it up!

Besides, I thought I was the terminal thread killer!

But don't forget the ants. I think the ants say you like a good picnic.

Somebody should invent Mobius strip bow ties for geeks.

How's about Sacha Baron Cohen in drag?

For comedy relief.....

I dont get to have an avitar yet as Im still a lurker. Once Im legit tho my avitar will be awsome.

My current avatar represents hope for the future. That when beings from other worlds finally introduce themselves to humanity, we should embrace them with open arms, because "friendship is universal".

Until they eat your hamster!

I look nothing like my avatar. I always loved the Six Million Dollar Man as a kid. I wanted to be a hero, and I clung to Lee Majors and Spock as role models since my dad was gone. I like the photo as an avatar because I joke that Lee Majors was my "real" dad.

Since the topic of the thread is what your avy says about you ...

May I humbly suggest a change in yours:

Hamster is delicious, especially deep fried and served with ketchup! Yum, Yum!

Oh, great, now everyone is going to accuse me of being a reptilian!

So, with 'V' being redone, you'll have plenty of new pictures to choose from!

Star Trek and The Six Million Dollar Man were my two favorite shows when I was a kid as well! I was hooked on SMDM with the first telefilm on NBC.

I took an old black and white picture of a UFO and put a piece of pie there instead. So the joke is like, the piece of pie is the UFO. Iono, I personally think it's really funny. Especially since there is a lot of ET/Alien talk around here.

My screen name comes from my grandma. 2 years ago I was helping her carry pies into my aunts house for Thanksgiving, and she called me "the keeper of the pies" and I was like "omg that's a pretty awesome name."

One of my favorites!!

But I guess you could say its pretty easy to see.. Ironmaiden rocks!!

Not only that it protrays something about this website in general..
Its the album cover from Number of the beast.

Where Eddie is at the top playing puppet master to the devil.. While the devil is playing puppet master to the Top human, while it desends into the pits and we all play out our lifes never truely knowing just who pulls Eddies strings..?

Be great to get the "Somewhere in Time" cover clear enough for an avatar.

Must look see if i can.

IMMHO, the best Eddie!

lol....actually i hate picnics... it was the only strip i could find that i liked ants were kind of a bonus. although i neither like nor hate them. but i do respect their work ethic.

Anyone want to comment on my avatar?

I like to think it looks like an ancient creature emerging from a portal.

But maybe you think differently...

Its a picture of you after playing with (insert image editing software here) too much? I think it says you dont conform to authority...i wont get rid of red eye...ill turn up the gamma and other options,stick the fingers up at authority whether it be the state or image editing specialists! i think you dislike pound shops and dont agree with EU fishing quotas imposed on Britain.Mr-Lizard,how do you get black background on avatar section...probably been asked but i searched and alas no luck.

Done it, not bothered with an avatar for yrs but here's the one i used to use.
What does it say about me?

Oh ok not showing - try later maybe -

It should be John Martins - Sadak in search of the Waters of Oblivion which I love.
