+kbootb Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Mine used to be a doctored version of my band's business card, but that has an outline drawing of a drum kit... and people thought I was a drummer.... bloomin' cheek. So I changed it to a nice piccy of me and the wife... well I thought she looked nice in her bikini... but for some reason she objected. So I asked her to find a 'nice' picture with us both in. As I usually take the pictures there are very few of me at all. And if it's not me tkaing them.... it's her... so that was just about the only picture with us both in over the last 3 years. Luckily it was passed by the censors. Well you did ask. Quote Link to comment
markandlynn Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 As out title is mark and lynn i wanted something to represent the other 3 members of the family and found this image of two older girls and a boy which fitted nicely added some colours via photoshop got a stamp made up with the image on it.

+Pharisee Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 'Cos it's me.... It has been suggested that the picture gives the impression that I'm a big (tall) bloke..... I'm not, as anyone who's met me will testify. The fact is that the seat I'm sitting on (in a plaza in Bruge) is meant for Belgian dwarves Quote Link to comment

Leoness Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) 'Cos it's my favourite photo of hubby and me, taken on the summit of Ben Nevis which we climbed together 3 weeks after we first met. It was one of our first dates! Our friends said... "you'll either be rowing furiously about 'whose bright idea was this' by the time you get back down to the bottom or you'll be the best of friends." In reality, we were leaning on each other (literally) for most of the way down because our knees and ankles were aching so much... and we got married 7 months later!

+MiTuCats Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 We actually caught both of our cats sitting still at the same time in the same place. Actually, the orange one was just starting to attack the other one's tail when this was snapped. Since the two cats were part of the development of our name, we felt they made a good avatar. They're also on our sig cards. Quote Link to comment

+Simply Paul Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I was bored, I'd bought a green neon tube, there was an old judo suit in the wardrobe... Things got out of hand. It was just a silly photo of me I found to illustrate my profile with when it asked if I wanted to upload one. It was that or a creepy one of me dressed as a girl. I was bored...etc. SP Quote Link to comment
+Brenin Tegeingl Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 As I live in Wales I started with the Welsh Dragon, changed it to the design of the clock I produced for Forestry Shepherds, changed it again to a photo of me acting as Santa at Geocaching Todays Welsh Region Xmass Dinner, and just recently changed it to a flaming Dragon as I'm a Pyrocacher. As you can see I like to change things ever so often Dave Quote Link to comment
+S&G.Davison Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 A few years ago we started a technical diving training group between 3 of us - Graeme, Andy & Sue - and call it GAS Diving, made up from our initials and because of the mixed gases we were providing instruction for. So when the G&S part gave this up that we stole the GAS to mean G & Sue rather than the initials of the 3 of us. see this page for more info. The G and the S are in the form of line arrows used to mark the line in cave diving to help you find the exit in bad conditions (yes we are both nuts - fully trained full cave divers and instructors to the trimix level). Decided that we knew more about the underwater areas of the UK than above water so switched altitudes to be above rather than below sea level Can still remember our first use of a GPS on dive ribs and trying to find the spot. 2 ribs declared "we're here" and you could have sunk the titanic between us - they were the days when selective availability was still on. So if you think finding a cache is tricky - try locating a wreck 80m below you on the sea bed with nothing but murky water between you and the wreck - oh yes and you're bouncing around on 20 foot waves.

+Learned Gerbil Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Mine is a very poor scan taken from "Observations Sur Quelques Mammiferes Du Nord De la Chine" published in 1867. It is the first ever illustration of Meriones unguiculatus, the species of gerbil (The Mongolian Gerbil) usually kept as a pet. For a bit of trivia to astound your friends - the same French missionary (Pere Armand David) was the first European to describe the Mongolian Gerbil, the Giant Panda, and that Buddleia stuff that grows everywhere on wast ground.

+Simply B Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 We do caching as a family, hence the logo. I would have drawn it as a cartoon, but I can't draw, so I had to steal a road sign and a GPS satellite, scan them in, and hey presto! Quote Link to comment

+GPScooterphish Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Scappoose - according to some - is form of a Native American word that, loosely translated, means "gravelly ground" (trust me, it's appropriate). Others say the word comes from the Chapeaus Frenchmen who lived and worked in the area. Either way, there's a large totem pole as you enter Scappoose - the avatar was an obvious choice.
