I thought Id answered this but I dont see the thread marked as posted in. Also I thought its well known.

Its the battle between Aurthur and The Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. "Its just a flesh wound!"

I honestly cant remember what it was before this. I may have had random ones...wish I could remember.

A unit from the old, old Dark Reign.

I should really change it, I haven't cared for the game in ages.

Ookla, most famous of the Moks. Another shot showing how awesome he is with the ladies. Some people think he's just all RAAAAR and OOOGGHA! But he's also rather smooth.

I haven't changed mine since the last time this thread perked up. Guess I must like it.

Daehawk · Post by **Daehawk** » Sun Feb 08, 2015 6:15 am

We loved Dark Reign...fun times. And I grew up on Thundarr

Sudy · Post by **Sudy** » Sun Feb 08, 2015 11:48 am

Still Gordon from Batman: Year One.

Wow, since July 2012 according to this thread? I feel a change coming soon, but this one is just so damn cool. Before this I had Captain Haddock from The Adventures of Tintin. Before that I believe it was Toby Ziegler from The West Wing. Before that... my brain does not remember a time before Toby Ziegler.

hentzau · Post by **hentzau** » Sun Feb 08, 2015 12:06 pm

Still Rupert of Hentzau. Or, more precisely, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. playing Rupert. I don't think I've ever changed it in the entirety of the GG and OO continuity.

Mine has been the same everywhere and is just something that came up in an image search shortly after inception.

Since I changed mine, it's twice as telling with the avatar I switched it to. Funny.

That said, it's my wife and yes.... she's naked.

It's funny reading backward in this thread to see which avatars have changed (or not) over time. Apparently Sudy Nym felt that way too, 3 years ago.

It's also interesting to note that many of us keep our avatars for a very long time. I have to admit, I recognize most people by their avatars. Upon changing them, I'm liable to recognize posters only vaguely by name and not recall specific interactions we've had.

Maybe I'll switch to using the Cyborg Name Decoder that a few people mentioned a while back.

Apparently, only normal people see mine. Everyone else's brain tunes it out like a blind spot.

Pretty sure it was a picture of my daughter back then. Line still works though.

Rip · Post by **Rip** » Sun Feb 08, 2015 4:50 pm

I change mine occasionally. Speaking of which I have been having Dr. Cooper for some time.

Just nothing in mind for a new one.

Will have to ponder it. Feel free to suggest.

I could maybe go with this one though. Would fit right in with how many on the forum view me.

Rip · Post by **Rip** » Mon Feb 09, 2015 7:50 pm

I just watched the first episode of Backstrom, could be decent we shall see.

But more importantly I could see it being the source of a new Avatar.

If I were a cop I would probably be pretty much Backstrom.

edit: and done. How's she look?

Scuzz · Post by **Scuzz** » Mon Feb 09, 2015 8:39 pm

Pretty obvious with this one.

I will occasionally use one from the third Indiana Jones movie as well.

WYBaugh · Post by **WYBaugh** » Wed Feb 11, 2015 1:07 pm

I finally found the avatar that I've been wonder just WTH it is...

Remus West...what is your Avatar?

Sudy · Post by **Sudy** » Thu Feb 12, 2015 11:10 am

I asked that last time, and he answered, but I don't remember.

I still think it's Invader Zim in a minecart whenever I look at it.

If you don't recognize my avatar you are dead to me... or soon will be.

The old Piper Aircraft logo, with the Alma Mater script replacing the Piper sign the cub was holding.

Mine appears to a small dog of some sort with a martini.

That's just silly. Dog's don't have opposable thumbs. How is he holding that glass?

See. Cute little baby.

Exact comic

No way in hell I would have ever figured that out.

From the perspective it looks like someone with big white eyes (like a crab) peering over the edge of a mine cart with their legs sticking out the top.
