We shall pick a day in the near future, and all be bunny for a day.

I picked mine because I am a Border Collie.






Actually, it was the first dog avatar in the gallery. That's all.

Disclaimer: This poster is all talk, and doesn't extend Bad Girl behavior past a few silly comments in safe, public venues. My own dutiful pleasure palace (husband) reclines a few feet away, and understands me proclivity to speak in a naughty manner on occasion. Will keep me mitts of mrs. cav's merchandise.

Hope the mr. nor mrs. takes offense.

I do not know if I speak for anyone other than myself, when it comes to reading words (ideas: thoughts) from another on the internet, coupled with avatar images........ when I offer this:

Whatever "avatar" one associates oneself (and one's words) with; one (you), can at once assume that the reader of these words will value them on a (ever) declining scale.

Yes, yes, I know that this is all in fun, and everyone wishes to be loved and thought most highly of, and to just "have a good time" with fellow cyber chatters.

But every once in awhile someone does indeed, wish to communicate a thought most serious and even personal.

No avatar, currenty in existance, is worthy of such communication.

I ask myself, would (fill in your favorite iconic person of history, here) if s/he were prone to internet chat, really come to the table with some kind of .....avatar: For lack of a better word?

I apologize (really) for the diverse opinion.

Oh, no need to apologize! I know what you mean.

I've happily conveyed several personal and serious thoughts here, though, and don't think (maybe I'm wrong) my avatar impacted that one way or the other...

KYN--

Sorta like marrying a video with a song?

I have hated that practice.

Music used to speak to everyone in a uniquely different voice-- Now we are stuck with a "video image".

Anyone can have the Bunny! There is no absolute right to avatars here!

It does, however, cause confusion - so Cav kindly changed. 'Twould have been fine if he had not, too - though nobody would believe the number of PM's I get when somebody uses the Bunny for a bit - anyone would think I had, myself, been kidnapped. It is quite funny.


Here - believe it or not, is the reason I chose this avatar, and like her so much - I wrote it out on my woodchuck thread, to the consternation and horror of the digresors there - but it is, though somewhat tongue in cheek, TRUE!









Now - here we go! - you see, I picked the rabbit because of the wonderful irony implicit in the juxtaposition of the cultural baggage that goes with the rabbit - at least in the literary world, especially as it relates to childhood - and the world-weary, ironic, sensuous and slightly depraved attitude of the actual bunny involved!

It tickled my fancy mightily, and appealed to my joy in weird and
stunningly wonderful dissonances.

I also liked her sensuality.

Now - Craven, for instance - thinks she relates to the Playboy Bunny - but this, while it may have been present sub-consciously, as a cultural emblem I despise, to play with, and against - never crossed my mind - although it clearly crosses the mind of others.
I think she is perfect for a Leo - if one accepts the stuff astrology says, even if only to laugh at it - because she is attention-grabbing and offers constant opportunities to play both with and against her perceived persona - and to tease and surprise whilst doing so.
She has also - to my surprise, and doubtless naively so - presented a challenge re being taken seriously in serious fora. I am unsure, yet, whether this relates solely to Bunny, or is also an artifact of my gender. We shall see! But Bunny shall fight the good fight - and I am enjoying the challenge, because I am a wanker, when it comes down to it.

Also - it was fun discombobulating folk who thought they knew me!
I bet you are soooooooooo sorry you commented, now - what a reply!

Border collies-- Multi-lingual, courageous, strong, intuitive, overworked.

...and are quite satisfied with dirty water.

Another good fit.

I understand KYN predicament. I hesitated, but just a little. Avatars are fun, and useful (if there are no duplicates).

I started with this here monkey, 'cause I like monkeys, a funny and smart animal.
Then I changed to a smoking squirrel which, for other reasons, is an animal I identify with.
Then came the Big Avatar Massacre, when no avatar from your disk could be uploaded. Back to the monkey.
Have given more than a thought about going back to the smoking squirrel, but I guess I have already been identified with the monkey.
