It's my birdie. I made it a long time ago and it's always been my avatar.

Well, might as well explain it. It's the cross of Kronos, also known as the symbol used by the 70s rock band Blue Öyster Cult. I found a red on black one on Google and changed it to a white outline on black in Photoshop.Nathan F wrote:No fricken clue what that was. In fact, that was one of the reasons for posting this thread...Spanky The Dolphin wrote:Right now it's Sarah Jane Smith, played by Elisabeth Sladen, from the British sci-fi TV series Doctor Who.
Anybody who can guess what the symbol I was using last night/early this morning gets a cookie.
I believe in a sign of Zeta.

Pronounced the same, but if written in Romanji are not quite the same They should have transliterated it correctly to Alucard.Admiral Valdemar wrote:It varies, like Alucard (Dracula backwards, naturally) and Arucard, which doesn't seem right but "l" and "r" are the same in Nihongo.
Victoria rocks. But other than for some fanservice, why did they change her from baggy pants to a miniskirt?But I digress, Victoria is kawaii and uniforms, big guns and Saxon APCs rule.

Miniskirt, synonomous with '60s British style, I'm blaming Austin Powers for something entirely unrelated.Victoria rocks. But other than for some fanservice, why did they change her from baggy pants to a miniskirt?
No, it's because she's female and can't wear trousers in an institution that dates back to the crusades.
Oh, and panties, they must be seen.

Well, let's see. When I first came here, my avatar was Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons. Because Comic Book Guy rocks, and it suited my caustic style during the Darkstar Wars.
Then I saw Mike had a Scorpion avatar hosted on his site, and I had just bought Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, so I just had to switch.
Now, though, I'm using Cloud Strife's sprite from Final Fantasy Tactics. Why? Hell, I dunno. I've always been an FFT-head, and mysmilies.com had a whole section for it. Yay!

The curious orange from TMWRNJ. The chances of someone else having anything similar were remote, and it was perhaps the funniest thing i have ever seen, so i chose it and will probably keep it forever on here. As long as i don't poke newbies or whatever.

So I'm guessing that's a CG image? 'Cause for the longest time, I thought it was a photograph.Crayz9000 wrote:Gordon Freeman, the researcher with a bad attitude and sharpened crowbar from Half-Life. Except that this is his new look, from HL2.

Lol, yeah, it's a promotional image. In fact, it's near enough in game quality given how great HL2 looks.Spanky The Dolphin wrote:So I'm guessing that's a CG image?

I think my signature says it all.
Once it was known as the Codeine Hippo, but so as not to influence a legion of teenage fans, it was renamed the Cosmic Hippo. Most often seen flying through the depths of space, to catch one is to be near the Flecktones themselves.

Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

BTW - I assume that you know whom my avatar is - but in case you don't: It's Lama Su, Prime Minister of Kamino. As for why I chose him - he's the only Star Wars character resembling an albino praying mantis with a mohawk.
