What's up with your avatar?

[+Eswau]

Mine is a piece of Southern folk pottery made by the late Burlon Craig from Vale NC. Called a devil face jug.

[+Wander Lost]

Mine is of Lost One. This was his Halloween costume this year.

 

It's a bit scary when you realize he is five and does a really good rendition of Hound Dog.

Huh, avitar, what's that?

Chicken would kill me cause i dont remember how or when we first started calling each other Frog and Chicken. Them females remember that kind of stuff,,,hehe. Kinda fits that im a frog, kinda slimy with warts and all. Her being a cute little chick fits very well too! Had this from the first and im thinking it will be the last!!!

Mine's just a boring old picture of me... No, Really!

Well,

We started this cache thing in September, and got hooked right away. As we traveled out into the mountains of Idaho we sure got some strange looks driving around in our Camry... So after some rough trips in it bought the Tacoma. Hence the name and avatar. Oh my hobbies get expensive!

My new avatar is one side of my handmade cache coins. At least, at this moment.

I used to have a picture of a Judge that my daughter colored for me. (I am a volunteer Judge in Small Claims Court). Currently I use my GeoPatch Signature Item for an avatar.

[ikayak]

I changed my avatar to Dianna Rigg/Emma Peel for the winter. I always figured when someone does a movie about my life, I'd make sure they cast Diana Rigg (circa late 1960's and with catsuit) to star as me. My Dad will be played by Joe Garagiola (since he looks so much like Joe, that he usually gets asked for Joe's autograph in airports) and some little Italian lady for my Mom (yet to be cast).

 

My best friend will be played by Brooke Shields, and her parents by Buddie Ebsen and Gwen Verden.

 

So who is starring in the movie of your life? Or does your avatar picture show it already (just to keep this on topic! )

[+Planet]

My current avatar is my 2002 Halloween costume, a lawn jockey. It was tons of fun to stand very still at the end of the driveway waiting for everyone to show up for the party. Unofficial winner, there was no contest.

[+Squirrel Nut & Beersnob]

My avitar is a photo I took while on vacation in 2001, up in Mackinaw City. The squirrel pictured is sitting on top of a trash container in the park by the lighthouse. I can't resist a good shot of a squirrel, and I got a laugh out of the fact that he was just sitting there, munching away on a french fry someone had left behind. There's a bigger pict of him on my caching page. When I get around to being a paid member, I'm thinking about making my 'title' "Want Fries With That?"

Can anybody think of any cool geocaching-related designs I can add to my avatar, a basic cheese. Just give me advice or, if you have some free time, you can copy my avatar and play around w/ it yourself. Either way, I'd be deeply gratified. Any comments or suggestions?

[+Gliderguy]

New Mexico. I was living in New Mexico when I started caching.

 

Then I ran across several K-marts that were closing in Oklahoma City, and these Alien dudes were on sale 6 for a dollar, eventually they got marked down to 6 for 50c. I bought all they had and they became my sig item.

 

I suppose I should photoshop a Garmin V into his hand, but havent had the inclination, and besides, I dont think it would show up well in a small avatar photo.

Below your avatar you can put "Behold, the power of geocaching"

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

[+Jamie Z]

This avatar I ran across while surfing. I was amused enough to retire the white stereotype, and it's probably about what I look like if I tried to give it a go on the dancefloor. Ironic, since it's kind of a white stereotype, as well. It will serve as my interim avatar until I get another photo of myself. I prefer to have an actual photo of me in my avatar, rather than some random image.

This picture of us taken just after we emerged from the Gate seemed to fit perfectly. We got McGuiver to snap the pic.

Whenever I look at Geo Quest's Avatar REALLY fast, I see an elephant walking on his hind legs and carrying a log with it's trunk. The mountains are its ears, the compass is its foot as it's taking a step. The strap is the trunk and the bedroll is the log.

 

This could be some kinda Rorschach test. Is it just me?

Not just you, I see it too and it doesn't have to be a fast look. It just screams Elephant at me.

[targetdrone]

I've already had a few,

My last one was Critter (my kitten), playing with Surf Seeking Rubber Ducky and my resident duck in the dog's water dish.

I used a picture I took of a snow covered park in Buffalo, NY.http://home.earthlink.net/~targetdrone/_uimages/Buffalo.JPG

My first was a cat walking in front of a line of German Shepherds that had a caption to the effect of 'Yea I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...'http://home.earthlink.net/~targetdrone/_uimages/Brave.JPG

 

My current one is a button I found in a cache. I had to 'modify' it to fit my sense of humor, which can be a bit morbid at times.http://home.earthlink.net/~targetdrone/_uimages/dsc_064.jpg

"The Hat" was discussed in the mIRC chatroom. The unanimous view was that the hat is reminiscent of the "Two wild and crazy guys" skit from Saturday Night Live... those swingin' Czechoslovakian guys, Steve Martin and Dan Ackroyd.

I'm out of my mind right now but you can leave a beep after the message.

[+Sissy-n-CR]

Well, this first one:

is of a coyote pup. CR stands for CoyoteRed.

 

But it didn't represent the both of us.

 

This one:

Was a nice pic I took with hunting for a place to hide a cache. I cropped it and it looked nice. There are two trees and it could represent us.

 

From now on, I think, I'm going to try to find imagary on our little adventures that represent us and use that as our avatar.

i stumbled on this pic a while ago - have been using it ever since.

And here's my avatar-in-progress...

 

[+Jamie Z]

After using the dancing nerd avater for far too long, I actually received a couple of complaints and requests to change it.

 

I was even tiring of it myself. I kept seeing that guy and thinking it was really me. Scary.

 

Tonight I changed it to a real picture of me, my preference.

 

I was in New Orleans on Halloween when this pic was taken. The photographer is a guy named Gordon, who we met at St. Bernard State Park outside of New Orleans. He was in the middle of a three-month roadtrip of the United States. The girl? I dunno. Since that day, I've had a fascination with bunny ears.

Hehe, I too thought it was really you. But I hope you didn't take it as a complaint when I pointed out it looked like a character from Dark Angel.

 

Your new pic is cool anyway. Reminds me of my visit to New Orleans. Though I didn't have kisses from other people than my wife. But what is that reading in the girls glass? Huge @$$?

 

My avatar...just a result of playing with Photoshop. Pasted a printout of that picture outside my office room (I work as a researcher in the university), but in a week someone had removed it. Maybe someone at my work doesn't like horny guys. ;

I have to admit to a nerdy past-time other than geocaching (aside: I put my head thru the lanyard) I collect geocacher forum avatar images. Jamie, You've got the most so far with six. I think others have had more but I don't collect them all, just the interesting ones.

[+Breaktrack]

Mine is just a photo shot by one of my crewmembers back in the late 80's, early 90's, at Fort Hood, Texas in one of the biggest mud puddles I'd ever found. I'm the Lieutenant standing at the uppermost point of the turret. They offered to make me an honorary submarine commander, but I declined, mainly because we didn't submerge completely....LOL.

[Cache Canucks]

At the time that I'm making this post, our avatar is a personalization of the public domain GeoCaching 'GX' logo.

 

The cresting that appears within the logo is representative of the shield which appears on Ontario's provincial coat of arms (granted in 1868, a year after confederation), as well as our provincial flag. The gold maple leaves represent Ontario, as maples are common in this province. The red cross of St. George represents the English heritage of the majority of people who originally settled in what was then called 'Upper Canada' (60,000 of whom were 'United Empire Loyalists' who, during the course of the American Revolutionary War, remained loyal to the British Empire and had fled north from colonial America).

I made mine up in Paint Shop Pro. Goes with my username and strong passion for hiking. Most of my hikes have been in Washington which is the Evergreen State.

[+Web-ling]

before I started geocaching, I was sitting around doodling one day when I created my big-eyed beaked stick figure. I already had my www.Web-ling.com website, and I somehow decided the little guy was a Web-ling. So I started using him as a sort of "mascot" on the site. So, when I chose Web-ling as my geo-name, the Web-ling character sort of came with me...

 

Funny thing is, I don't use him on the website any longer. Maybe I will later.
