There are threads for you, your bike, where, what's how's and who's, but what about your sig image or avatar? What does it mean to you? I see Pandy changed hers to a little kitty, etc. I just am curious to know what they all are (the non obvious ones anyway) and what they mean to you?

My avatar was given to me by John, the Founding Father, as are all others I believe.  

I turned him on to proper BBQ, and he was moved.  He rewarded me and for that I am thankful.

My signature is a line taken from a song I like about poker.  I chose that because I enjoy playing cards and play a couple times per week.  The song is called "Crazy Game of Poker".

Mine is my favorite movie character, Leonard Smalls from Raising Arizona

He introduces himself to a client and says

"The name is Smalls... Leonard Smalls

My friends call me Lenny, but I don't have any friends.

My avatar is Red Robot #C-63 from the internet webcomic Diesel Sweeties (http://www.dieselsweeties.com). He is the sworn enemy of hu-mans. His fling with Eve (The silver-tongued, bipolar Marxist Ashkenazi with an erotic yen for boys, girls and robots) led him to be the world's first hypocritical robot. He's originally from Exploding Dog (http://www.explodingdog.com). He also dated Maura, the alcoholic porn star, as well as her Lil' Sis.

I'll change my avatar eventually... this one is just so recognizable though.

My pic is of me. My mom wanted a pic to put on her desktop comp at her work, so I struck a pose for her. With my loptoff lugs on. These things are great! It  makes my ride so much more enjoyable. Seeing all the kids and adults smiling and waving.
  I was comming back from school the other day and I turned to see the car next to me to see a camera phone pointed at me with 3 other guys hanging out the window to see and laugh and give me thumbs up. It was cool. I gave them a :thumb: back for their pic. Only 7 bucks at cyclegear.

<----- I was out in newport beach with some friends, it was some holiday (not st. patty's but some other holiday).  I'm in the process of pointing at the camera and yelling "Yeah!!!" whe the photo was taken.

Very, very good night from what I recall.

My sig is a recognition of my lack of experience.  I figure I might as well call myself a noob and save davidpu the hassle.

mine is the feared mine sniffing war dolphin.  Don't know what a war dolphin is, just google the words war dolphin for a link to articles on them.  I cropped the Navy dude out of the pic.  

The concept of a war dolphin is just really amusing to me. Just saying the words makes me laugh.


My sig is my now 4.5 year old son's philosophy on god.  Much better I must add than what most other 2000 year old religions are able to come up with.

mine is the cactuar from FFVII, with a "no" symbol over it. the image from another squaresoft game "the bouncer"
it's on the back of one of the main guys jackets.
the cactuar is fast, and usually escapes from battle (in FFVII).
so in the bouncer, he has it's image (it's not in the game, just a reference thing) with the "no" symbol to mean, no escape.

I like the capture of somthing elusive type of idea behind it.
and the control over a situation that it implies by stating that escape is impossible.

These are two pistons from my old two strokes.

it is a violent death:

A too hot spark plug made a nice hole in one of them.
The other one had a crack, and ended broken in bits.

That poor old two strokes is successfully rebuilt and running!

I was all set to go when my wife offered the Cell in case of trouble.  I suggest an identifying picture would go well in case of catastrophe.  

I posed for this, then when handing the camera back I was reminded that if I didn't return in one piece, she would see to it that I'd never ride again. (She tolerates this pleasure of mine.)  

I remember this every time I (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/redshift/Ride.gif) so I pay attention and bring it home in the same condition I left.

Sort of morbid, but...I worked with someone a while back who was in a terrible car accident and needed reconstructive surgery before she regained consciousness...when she woke up, she was told that they had used her driver's license photo as the baseline for the reconstruction.  When she tells the story, she talks about how pissed off she was that she didn't at least get to pick out a new nose.  Now she carries a touched-up glamor shot of what she -wants- to look like in her wallet, just in case.
