There's been some discussion on this thread concerning the identity of this avatar....
http://www.able2know.com/forums/images/avatars/14694113603fcf45ce15fa1.jpg

I see several things. Let me run them by you:

!.) A great white shark hurling itself from the ocean's depth to clamp down on the ass of Fat Albert

2.) (turning your head to the left) The view from a cave near Mount Vesuvius, moments before eruption

3.) (turning your head to the right) A small, inquisitive black dog, silhouetted by a snow bank, with the slate -gray November skies causing the viewer to feel sympathetic toward the dog. Lost perhaps? Cold?

4,) (standing on your head and looking at the image) A festive carnival. Jugglers and merchants, lions and tigers, activity everywhere... explosions of color. But that might be caused from the blood running to my head. Next time I'll just turn the monitor over.


For now I don't see anything else because I've got this pounding headache from standing on my head and looking at that stupid avatar for so long, trying to see something, anything, until finally the carnival came into view.


Oh, and about my avatar. I'm just trying to project kindness and hope for the fellow A2Ker's. Simple as that.

Laughing Laughing :lol:My avatar and I feel honoured to have been put under such scrutiny (allowing for wonderful poeticism Smile) by everyone here. As for its multiple meanings, perhaps I'm a multifaceted character; on the other side of the coin, it might mean that I'm a complete nutcase, changing identity every day, eventually aiming to abduct everyone on A2K for my own amusement.

Whoops... did I let that slip? Hmm... *looks for diversion* A man walked into a vet's office with his dying budgie... Laughing

...and asked "Can you save me bird?"

The veterinarian says "I haven't seen your wife in ages, and I'm an animal doctor, not a witch doctor!"

If you change it SealPoet, I really liked the line drawing of the little seal on a white background.

Completely untrue. I remember the first time I saw your avatar I opened my window and screamed to the neighbors. "Hey everybody! The guy from The Avengers is on the computer!

Everyone came running. They all were in awe. There he was, bigger than life.... John Steed


I still remember that day clearly.

Would this involve us all living in some large pit? 'Cause the humidity is very bad for my hair and if we're all going into the pit, I want dibs on a climate-controlled one.

Thanks in advance.

Laughing I was thinking more along the lines of a big house on a little island near Nova Scotia, but the pits idea would be more cost-effective.

Either way, I will make sure that you get a climate-controlled one, as we don't want your hair to be ruined.

Do you have any other requests?

Oh no... is the storm still brewing? Do you have to go out in it?

My pits are in the sun belt! Very Happy
