I figured, "Hey, I have no clue what half of these people's avatars mean. Why not just have everyone drop by a thread and share the significance of their pixelated representation?"

So, there you have it.

Currently, my avatar is Ultimate Rugal (aka God-Rugal) from Capcom vs. SNK 2: EO. The premise is that the King of Fighters recurring villain Rugal has absorbed all of the Street Fighter villain Akuma's ki energy and become near-omnipotent.

For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away all of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

Kewl. Looks like a guilty gear character... Never heard of this Rugal guy, but he eats Akumas so he's gotta be awesome.

Mine's the tour poster for the KMFDM WWIII Amerikan Tour. It was the first concert I ever went to, and the first KMFDM concert I went to. I was deaf for a week, and I've been a diehard KMFDM fan since. Plus, it just looks kewl. Machine Gunner!

Well, a cuirassier is a type of cavalryman equipped with a cuirass, a type of armor consisting of a breastplate and backplate.

Mine's an album cover from Motorhead. Some years ago when I was registering in this other forum I was thinking of a username and I was listening to the song Hellraiser by Motorhead, and I had always liked it so... there you have it. It's been a while now since that day but everyone I met (and meet, still) knows me by Hellraiser and I figured what the heck, let's use the first avatar I ever used on a forum once more.

It's what I look like.

Well, what I looked like nearly three years ago, when I made that picture for my job applications...

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

I was in a bad mood, a bit of frothing feminist rage over something or the other, when finally getting around to uploading an avatar.
So  it had to be the pussy power one.

Image shamelessly stolen from a sinfest cartoon to make an LJ icon, and it'll do here too, for now... Since I can't decide between cowthulhu or bouncing kobolds with chicken.

I'll lend you my 'bouncing kobold with chicken' if you want?




(No, it's not just that I like using the phrase 'bounding koblod with chicken', not at all... 'bouncing kobold with chicken' is a very nice phrase though, you should try it. All together now ' bouncing kobold with chicken'.

You need a reason to bounce kobolds?
