How Important is your Avatar?

what's the story behind the little glimpse of an image you use on the forums to represent yourself as your Avatar?


Mine is in reference towards my older sister.........grins.



There's gotta be some stories behind your Avatars, and even Screen Names.......


bring it on.

I started on the R1100S forum and they were nicknamed there by (JAS I think) "Donkey Bikes." For a while I was playing around with GIF software and made mine.

It's too bad they're limited to 50x50 pixels. Not a lot you can do.

I've had many over the years. Can't seem to make up my mind. The latest is a signpost off in the boondocks I ran into a year or two ago.

Not really important at all. Many years ago, I think I was running Win 98 SE, I created a full set of mouse pointers and maybe an icon or two for Windows. The animated tach was what I used to replace the hour glass.

I was born in Queen Kapiolani Hospital in Honolulu 5 days after Hawaii became one of our 50 states.

This is a rare photo of my Mom's OB/GYN. He spanked me on the way out and I gave him a nice "Hawaiian Punch"!

Yer Gosh darn right! None of those energy drinks or "SmartWater" for us.

It was garden hose water and we got our daily dose of vitamins from the 10% fruit juice in the glass of hummingbird nectar we were drinking.
