My current avatar is simply a pic that I found while searching for something else. A number of people have complained about it because they thought it was a pic of a dog eating a cat when in reality it's a pic of a dog and his pet cat.

You have NO idea how long I have been wondering about that!! Looks more like a rabbit to me, though. Still doesn't answer the question of "why?", but thanks for the "what", anyway. :P

Mine is a compass rose with the geocaching logo and colours in the middle. This reflects what was once my signature (back when non-premium members were allowed them... But that is another rant) which was "Always bring a map and compass; it's awkward when you have to eat your friends"

 

I have always been a fan of map and compass work, and feel it is essential if you will be spending any time in the bush.

Mine is from the Mall of America in Minneapolis right after I saw Toy Story 2. Also just a few hours after my nearest near-death experience (100% brake failure while on an exit ramp going toward the mall--younger brother was driving--parking brake had been on for 15 highway miles and he hadn't realized it).

 

Not that any of that is relevant to Geocaching, just a good story. Or a bad one.

Because the pic amused me.

As a kid, my dog had a pet cat for a while too. I think it ended up getting hit by a car or something. It kind of dissapeared one day, then my dog was depressed for a month or so. Although my dog seemed to really like the cat, he wouldn't share his food. We ended up having to feed his pet ourselves. How unfair was that...

I'm an aviation nut of long standing. My avatar is an edited version of a photo of my friend's Waco Biplane. Unfortunately it's going to take a lot of time and dollars before the old girl flies again, she had an engine failure and force landed in some trees in Texas almost three weeks ago.

I like beer. And Guinness is beer. I know it's not a lager, but AleHead doesn't have the same ring.

You could be StoutHead.

 

CreamyAndFillingHead doesn't work either, does it?

 

Guinness is food.

Beer is liquid bread. Whole grains, yeast, water plus some hops for flavor. It's good for you.

I used photoshop to stick a pic of a turtle and a frog together....the turtle b/c the hubby likes tortoises (owns a red-footed tortoise.) The frog because I've always had a thing for frogs like the frog prince...kind of symbolic for the fact that you never really know who people are...and generally they're both a frog AND a prince (depending on how much sleep they got the night before.)

 

Notice that the frog is riding on the back of the turtle...that's on purpose. In theory, it's supposed to mean that if a cache requires serious physical investment to retrieve, HE should do it while I should sit back and 'enjoy the ride.' But reality is that I care more about logging it than he does, so I generally end up doing it. :anitongue:

How and why did you choose your avatar? :)

 

Because I am an ordained Dudeist Priest and I too can be thrown into a limo without spilling my beverage. Not to mention I like takin' 'er easy for all you sinners. :anibad:

 

Also, with my relative amount of coolness, I can pull it off. :anitongue:

I've been doing that a lot recently, for some reason (spelling "thing" as "think") I thing I might be typing too fast.

 

Thanks for the info on Google's +1. I agree... lame. Too lame for Google. They should be ashamed.

I'm new to this so hoe do I get an avatar? I have no way of uploading pictures. Is there a place where I can just pick one fom a selection and have it posted to my profile? New Premium member!!!!!!
I don't see a way to use an image that's already on the web as your avatar. You need to upload an image to make it your avatar.

Your Geocaching.com account details form provides you with a way to upload a picture for your avatar. But to upload, the picture must first be located someplace on your computer.

 

It's easy to get a picture from the web onto your computer. First, find a picture you like on a web site someplace. Hover your mouse over the picture, and click the right hand button. You should see a pop-up window with a bunch of options, one of which is "Save Image As". Choose that option, and choose a location on your computer to store the picture. Remember the location where you saved the picture.

 

Next, browse to Your Account Details, and look for the "Your Avatar and Photo" section. Use the link under "My Avatar" to select the image you downloaded in the previous step.
