Think of it this way. Many people don't want a picture of themselves anywhere for their own safety so they pick a picture of who they'd like to be or a cartoon character that's completely different than they reallyare so no one will recognize them. I sure don't want my own picture out there and wind up having some serial killer come after me because he knows what I look like now. :mellow

You are probably overestimating your attractiveness to serial killers.

No, I get why we aren't posting real pictures of us, I'm just saying some of the avatar's chosen give me a mental image that is difficult to shake. Like Mjzucko (sp) has a I believe Ted Leo on his. That makes me think nothing either way, or Lamrod's makes me think nothing either way. But a picture of a person who is not known makes me think, "hey is that you, or that can't be you"

Honest to god, I look exactly like Harry Potter. Just picture him when you read my posts.

I actually am Loretta Lynn, just not that Loretta Lynn. Plus, I am a young long-haired brunette gal and I'm proud to be a cab driver's daughter. So my avatar kind of works for me, really.

But then the question becomes -- why choose the screen name that you choose? At work, I am "Sunshine and Puppies". This is actually from a few years back when I scored this particular postion. I was really happy about it. Now, I'm just thankful to be employed. My counter-part at work is "Rain clouds and Ebola" If I ever change my screen name, it will be Ebola.

I'm actually the guy on the right in my avatar.

 

my right or your right?

 

Stop distracting me man I'm trying to figure out how to hit a homerun.

 

1st Manny, then you, and then mr. Puljols. Or I will just believe all of you are the greatest ball players ever putting up numbers never seen before.
