Know yourself by your avatar.

And also... how does one attach an avatar? (emoticon of puzzlement or winking...)

*Gasp* how did you know? I think it is under the "Tools+" section?

Pretty good. In a way, I am missing some very fundamental things. Don't be afraid of stating things for fear of offense. It's been my experience that people who come looking to be placed under a microscope tend to be looking for some sort of acknowledgment in their existence or their innermost being. (Which also explains why Ms. "people like to talk to themselves" is right on that point but this is more letting others talk about you for you.)

the frame on your avatar reminds me of the old west posters and the old black and white films that didn't have sound yet, that would put the words in a black box, surrounded by a frame like that. that made me think of cowboy movies.

My name nickname is Lupodigubbio (Italian for The Wolf of Gubbio) and the avatar is a picture of St.Francis with the wolf of Gubbio who terrorized the little town but then got domesticated by Francis and became the town's protector.

I own a dog shelter so mine is pretty literal although I identify with both the wolf than with St.Francis.

My two natures trying to get along I guess. Interesting OP!

Oh boy, pressure is on, now huh? For the record I don't claim to have any special power. I'm just going with my gut here. I'm sure there is a perfectly rational explanation. Ok, disclaimer done

Jack your avatar selection tells me something other than the obvious (which I will get to). One, you are a warm-hearted guy, through and through. Very little gets you down and out---you like to smile and keep the folks around you in a cheery disposition. If I every met you, I would expect to get the impression that you were guy who wasn't too concerned about appearances. Some days you might let yourself go and appear slovenly and unkempt. However, most days your pretty clean-cut (but not showy and extravagant with your looks). Your avatar tells me you enjoy being clever---oh so very clever. You like to take risks every once and a while. You used to be a charmer (maybe back int he day?), but not so much anymore. You are probably committed to someone--though I'm not entirely sure on this one. You stretch the truth every so often, but only about small stupid crap. Nothing too serious. Do you own a dog?

Edit: You're smart and perceptive---you see through people's bull-crap. You know when someone is lying to you. And exactly in what way. Also, you are conscious with you money? Not greedy, just very aware of where it goes and for what. You avatar seems to suggest to me that you have a bright personality, but you don't show that overtly to everyone---you like to keep it cool, calm and undercover. But when you're noticed--you shine.

I'll do you without an avatar. You are intensely jaded. Your view of the world is one where you are impatient with anything that you don't feel is important. You have a tendency to compartmentalize others without acknowledging your own needs. You tend to feel very alone in the world and it makes you dismissive and even angry at times. You don't want to be alone. You see yourself as an intelligent skeptic and that you definitely are although you tend to also be a little short sighted. Hang in there.

um, i look at their pic, read their sigs and the comment in which they describe themselves, and any bylines they might have. and then make associations to things that it reminds me of. mostly, just trying to be light hearted and make people smile.

Well I cant say you were wrong.. Did ya nail it ? Yep

Do I have a dog. no but I am a dog lover (always had one growing up) and have been waiting to get one as soon as I move out of my apartment, a dog is literally the first thing I'm going to get.

I wanna expand on some stuff you said but I'm not a wall of text guy as you can tell my my responses, I am super impressed and may comment more shortly.

Your new to this kinda thing arent you ?

I guess the saying that pictures are indeed worth 1000 words is pretty accurate!

This has been a very interesting thread and a much needed diversion from this madness we call reality. I'd also like to say that despite philisophical differences in views I still see you all as an extension of what I am. We are all different but all one in the same. I actually found my avatar online so not sure it really says all that much about me personally but as always am interested in what people think.

Edit: I am also saddened a bit that I did not get into this thread at the beginning, it is at this point in length that most threads unfortunately tend to lose steam and this is one deserving in my opinion of alot more discussion.

Yeah, I just did this, today. I'm more of the skeptical--Hey "this is complete bull# without some logical facts" kind of guy. I'm actually surprised I'm even participating in this forum, at all. Go figure.

You won't make your avatar a Coke.

No. Guess that makes you psychic LOL.

Just out of curiosity op, what does this avatar and name tell you. I would like to see your reply and if it supports why I picked it.

I am not the OP so just sticking my nose where it doesnt belong (again I know Ma) I would say you might have an interest in Egyptian history.
