bjorn_skurj Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 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. You are probably overestimating your attractiveness to serial killers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yermom Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Smith Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 But then the question becomes -- why choose the screen name that you choose? John Smith = Generic and anonymous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigshoulders Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 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. see this thread:http://forums.viachicago.org/index.php?showtopic=34201 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Somnambulist Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I'm also not Sam and Eddie from the highly underrated "Safe Men." Just thought I'd give one of my favorite movies/characters a nod. Plus, their musical stylings are sweet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
