The Avatar thread

[jimmyj]

I like to change my avatar when the mood strikes me. So, I wonder how you have decided upon yours. Do you keep it the same or change it from time to time?

Here is a history of the ones that I have had and the reasons for them, if any. I'm sure I've forgotten a few too.

Barney Fife. I just think everything to do with Andy Griffith is funny.
Aunt Bea. 'Nuff said. I also like her hats!
Alfred E Newman. Whenever a new President is elected, I will post AEN.
A banana. It was a funny picture of a banana.
BBQ ribs and corn. In tribute to a thread about eating same.
Tater tots. Mmmm, taters.
Woody Allen with a huge celery stick. From Sleeper, hilarious.
Charlie Brown. Well, I'm kind of like him sometimes. Same hair.
Peanuts gang in the pumpkin patch. My tractor is named the Great Pumpkin.
My dog elmo. I love my dogs.
Crossed Canadian and American flags. A tribute to the two greatest.
A funny movie poster for a zombie movie. Told to change it by the mods.
Bob and Doug Mackenzie. Tribute to the "fear Canadians" thread.
The coneheads from the old SNL. Suggested by another TBN'er.
Jethro Bodine. Another response to a TBN'er.

So, what say you all?

I have changed mine a few times and none of them have been memorable. The only thing about keeping the same one is that people make an association in their minds between the avatar and the person, and that is probably a good thing. You can just glance at the avatar and you know who made the post, and it also ties them to other post's you have read from them and hence to their personality and opinions. So I guess I am saying I am for people keeping the same avatar. Of course I have not done that:laughing:

I've always thought that a man's avatar oughta show off his personality, don't ya think?

Jim, your avatars constantly throw me off because you change them so much. I tend to identify posts using avatars as I scan around threads. For example, Bird's avatar just pops into my eye without having to even think about it. I've tried to select an avatar that best describes my tractor use and just leave it. Yours sure keep me on my toes. Mostly, they bring a smile to my face when I actually ID who they are for.

Ya, I did think of that but it's just too much darned fun changing them up.

Find a picture you like and save it to a location that's easy to find on your computer. I always just save the picture onto my desktop.

Then on the TBN forum, go to "My home" and select "edit avatar".

Click on the browse feature which is option 2 near the bottom. Then double click on the picture icon in the browse window and "save changes".

Hope that helps. Mmmm, butter.
