I have always kind of liked mine. Hehe...
You look like Brando in "Apocalypse Now" in that photo. Are you clear in your mind but mad in your soul? Are your methods... unsound?

"...unsound...."

[Be reassured: this relates to hiking by virtue of the Montagnard soldiers in the screenplay.]
 
wow!

I never really thought of it that way, but yea, "clear in your mind but mad in your soul" is a great way to put it. Now I finally have a way to articulate my thoughts (to my therapist).

I like Giggy's the best

BoB, I like your's because "Johnny" looks amazingly like you... :D How'd you accomplish that? :confused: :)

One vote for BoB's for finding an avatar that's not really him but appropriately looks a lot like him!

Aw shucks, thx! It will be back. I am in the "shameless self promotion stage right now", but after BL'08, I'm going back!

Ditto to Spencer's avatar: it fits him to a "T".

Others that I rather enjoy:
Bunchberry: captures her spirit so well
Chomp: captures his spirit so well :rolleyes:
El-bagr: how I feel at times
Leduc: I don't know what it captures, but I ain't messing with it
UnfrozenCaveman: this should be on Steve's headstone
Yellow Dog: I just like it!
cbcbd: reminds me of times past at Tucks (though I don't believe it is Tucks)
Metsky: the Chicken Man Lives! (I wonder if he thought it had "legs" when he put it up)
Gris: any Jerry pic works for me!
arm: the footprints left behind after the snow was blown away. Very cool.
AlpineSummit used to have great avatars. Sorry to see him off the site.

Least favorite: Frodo ;) Hands down (though Frodo, himself, is the man, despite his questionable taste :D )

1) percious
2) Mike P.
3) Ed'n Lauky (I'm in love with Lauky and Atticus too. What faces!!!)

I'm with you on Ed'n Lauky. I can't help but awwww every time I see Lauky's photo and it makes me want a dog even more than I already do.

Category: Cleverest Avatar
1) SherpaKroto's old avatar (the puzzle piece against Rainier)
Agreed!! When I first came onto this site I remember that Avatar catching my eye as really cool and clever... and wow, Rainier - this was some gnarly dude ;) Back then little did I know that the hand holding the puzzle piece could produce such thunderous beats!

Thanks SherpaKroto!

I agree with the others, I always liked your puzzle piece, though your current one got me to put the dates on my calendar :)

Sherpa beat me for nominating Bunchberry's... Great Shot!

Overall Quality and Quantity would go to Neil... love that old one of him peeking out thru the bushes! :D

This thread reminded me that it was long past time to change my avatar. The one that's there now... There's a story there. The picture was taken by WalksWithBlackFlies. It was on the summit of Dix.. about 5 years ago. Timmus was new to hiking in the adirondacks, and she was there too. First time I met her. You know what they say about first impressions? What kind of first impression do you think I made when she saw me half strip, jump on a rock with an axe.

Oh, Pete, I told you that before, but here it is again : I got such a strong impression of you that I got a spark in my imagination and many drawings were made because of that.

Thanks to you, Pete Hickey.

Hey, maybe I should bring my animated avatar, I liked it too.

I kept some of my old avatars , I think they're fun.
