Isn't there an Avatar Thread?

[dualstow]

dualstow, tell us about your current avatar. I love it on so many levels. What is it from?

I found it after googling "ipad wallpaper" and thought, I have to spread this one around.

By the way, I did search for the original image to at least mention the artist's name or source site, but all I found was other people and sites who ripped it off, like I did.

The EXIF data for the image says "Copyright Apple Inc., 2017", and next to that it says "description: Display P3" (no idea what that means).

Oh I do, Xan. It was the club in Charmed.

Mark, did you briefly have an avatar of yourself hiking with a woman — a striking resemblance — or did I dream that?

Edit: I don’t know why I wrote “mom” earlier, except that I was receiving updates from mine on her eye surgery. Scatterbrain, i am.

I did. A little mountain goat that spends her vacation time trying to kill me.
She's retiring next year. We're negotiating.

I met her 25 years ago on a hippy bus tour through Mexico. She was the driver and tour guide - and a commanding presence. As I was pretty much the only other adult in the crowd, we hit it off well. You have to take your time with these things...

Edit: Photo removed to reduce the chances that I am murdered in my sleep.

I love it.

Lady on the train panicked when I took off my mask after sitting down, but visibly relaxed when she saw I was having a coffee.

Remember: I drink coffee to keep you safe, you drink coffee to keep me safe.

Love the avatar Tortoise. In that spirit, I heard in order to level the playing field, Ozzy Osborn was going to debate Biden.

Thanks, Mountaineer! My previous pandemic-themed avatar was starting to show its age -- much like Biden.

Just doing my part to get people revved up for the coming slaughter... er, debates.

@dualstow, what’s the English translation of the text in your new avatar?

@dualstow, what’s the English translation of the text in your new avatar?

"Want to take a hike?" (Literally "Climb a mountain together?")
It's just a show that my wife is watching. Very popular now.
It's about evil deeds, not mountain climbing.

It’s on some Chinese website.

Loving the new avatar, dualstow! Very topical.

My favourite episode of the Simpsons will always be the Stonecutter one.

[dualstow]

Ha, thanks
It was stuck in my mind’s eye, so i went with it.

Is it too soon to start dropping the election-related avatars so we can start getting back to normal?

A betta fish I just bought for a small aquarium.

Does that mean I should also be getting the Obama / Biden sticker off the back of my car that was there when I bought the car in December 2013?

I wouldn't, Vinny. I think it makes a real statement on a never washed car.

All the recent avatars are pleasing to the eye.

If it hasn’t been mentioned, Smith’s is a Russian known as “muscle Barbie.”

She's "the one" for sure!

[Tortoise]

She’s real?? I thought that photo was shopped. Mind blown.

Indeed! A very unique athlete to be sure. I'd say she's real in a sense that she does actually look like that, but not "real" in a sense that I'm 99.99% sure she's penning steroids.

Either way, clearly a one in a million kind of girl.

Just wait til Smithers finds out about Yuan Herong

Fun fact about me. I am strictly attracted to white/caucasian women. And the preference is not slight. Seeing women of other ethnicities is pretty much the same thing as seeing a dude to me. Not sure why. Just the way my brain is built I guess.

*shrug*

Where the white women at?!?!
