My avatar is Paleontologist Barbie.

I am a shallow, looks-orientated blonde palaeontologist. You work it out.

The story behind my avatar...

My avatar is kind of a self portrait, so it looks a little like me. It was a character I used to represent myself when I drew alot in high school. I have changed a bit since then, but still represent myself by the same drawling . Part of the reason for that is because I don't draw anymore. :)

BTW this is a drawling I did in high school. er... about 9 years ago. It was colored in Paintbrush what came with windows.

So thats the story behind my avatar.

My old one was good ol' Samuel L. Jackson as Hondo Harrelson in the SWAT movie.

My new one is Michael Chiklis as Vic Mackey on The Shield

Me thinketh..... No.
Why did you pick it, and is there anything you would rather have?
Because I like it, and it goes well with my title. :)

Not..... really.... I'm not blue-skinned, nor are my eyes red.

Why did you pick it?

My screename is Thrawn. That's a picture of thrawn. Easy enough.

Is there anything you would rather have?

I've seen some better thrawn pics, and I've thought about changing to something completely different, but I'm fine with this.

Tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like

Sweet revelation, sweet surrender
sweet, sweet surrender
Surrender...

Yes, secretly, I am M. C. Escher's house cat. Never mind that both the cat and Escher are dead.

Because I saw a copy of it (which I eventually scanned because you can't find this using google)

Not really. I used to use a skull in a tophat that Escher used as an anti-smoking ad, but that's it, really.

I do look just a little like my avatar, which is of course why I picked it. That and the fact that Edwin will rule all you pitiful worms.

Do you bark a lot like the Marines I know? :)

Do I look like the US Navy public logo (since you can't use the official DON one, but they let people use this)? Um, no...

Why did I pick it? Because I'm gonna be an officer in it.

Do I want anything else? Nope. I did have a USMC one for about two days though, just for the hell of it. But this has always been my avatar, except for those two days and back when I did the whole "change your avatar for a day" thing with JL, making it Batman from TAS (I lost that pic though... :cry: )

My older sockpuppet has a screwed up picture of Harmon Rabb from JAG. It's black and white and looks like some overly artistic thingy because of the odd way it converted it to a GIF. Before that, I don't even think it had an avatar.

Yes. I am in fact a blonde. No, really. That pic of mine in the Adonis Awards is sheer misinformation. Really.

I chose this av, and the multitude before it, because I worship Samus Aran.

Do I want anything else? Mmm...I think I have enough Samus avatars to last me a while.

Yes, we all know that. My only comment, however, is that "I'm a mech, too!" joke in your sig is really fucking bad, and you should be smacked for it.

And I also forgot. While I'm not being a cat, I'm also occasionally Fortress Maximus.

Only in the sense of being human in appearence.

Why did you pick it?

Because Garland was a powerful and noble wizard who met a tragic end when the forces he struggled to master turned on him.

Is there anything you would rather have?

Nothing that readily springs to mind.

Why do you have a bazooka dude shooting at Samus? :?

Oh, and care to share any hot pics of her in a decent bikini? :wink:

And I made the 100th reply in here! Whoohoo! Not quite making post 1 million, but whatever. :P
