My avatar is very, very ugly. I am deleting it now, but wish to replace it. Seeing as so many of you folks have great avatars, I am curious at to whre people find good pics.

Just do a google or mamma search for an image of whatever you want your avatar to be and I'm sure you'll find something.

I really like mine now. It's from my webcam. All you need to make one is a cat and a hat.

Yes, it is. In fact, it took me a good minute to figure out I was looking at a Starfury. :P

Of course, maybe if you ever...you know, sent me that pic you were talking about this would already be resolved. :roll:

If it is, it's not like any claymore I've every seen. I think it's a fighting robot of some kind.

I think not.
I just finished reading William Gibson's latest, "Pattern Recognition," where a Russian mafia don uses a claymore to assassinate an opposing crime boss, and the mine is described as being shaped like a thick dinner plate, and his avatar looks kind of like a dinner plate. -shrug- Anyways, it's a cool avatar.
