No you can't. Romaji is merely Japanese written with the Roman alphabet. There is no L in Japanese, and there is no L in Romaji. Writing an L makes it not-Romaji.

Mine is of Dash Rendar from SOTE. I also use a starcraft ghost sometimes to symbolize my love of Spec Ops

You all better say "Hello" to my little friend on the left, since the M16/203 yielding person is Tony Montana (Al Pacino) from Brian De Palma's excellent 80's drug-hazed movie "Scarface"!

Isn't that the avatar that the mod-sock-puppet-troll Prometheus used?

Fly Eagles fly, on the road to victory.
Fight Eagles fight, score a touchdown 1-2-3!

Hit 'em low,
Hit 'em high,
And we'll watch our Eagles fly.

Fly Eagles fly on the road to vic-to-ry!

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!

Before that was Independence Hall, which I started using for the Fourth of July and kept until recently, and before that was the famous Dodge ram's head, because I love Dodges.

<-- Elhaym van Houten, Xenogears. Probably my favorite avatar, though I should probably switch back to my UGA avatar.

On the meaning of my avatar: it shows that i can't be arsed going out and finding a new one as i've had it from day 1!

My avatar is the battleship Pennsylvania steaming into Lingayen Gulf, Luzon in January 1945 to provide fire support for invasion of the island. The battleship Colorado is also visible following her, as is part of one of the three heavy cruisers following in the column. The image used came off warships1, though it's moderately famous for being on the cover of Jane's Fighting Ships of WW2.

As for is meaning. Well I've always liked the Pennsylvania, partly for her being named for my home state, partly for her combat power and role as fleet flagship with a two story conning tower and partly because I just like some of the photos of her such as thing one. So when I got tired of my last avatar I hunted down a copy of the photo for no real specific reason.

I have a history of unintentionally picking creepy avatars, so sometimes I intentionally do it.

Ju-on: The Grudge. http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=13943

I don't know if it's a good movie, but the trailer is creepy and I liked the artwork.

Post by **haas mark** » 2003-09-06 06:42pm

Mine was from a piece of artwork I found on the net.

Various other avatars were... lots of naked guys.. *L* and then some of my angel dolls.. and I had a monkey at one point.. but I think that's it.

A couple of weeks ago I was checking out a Halloween site, (I love Halloween) and while I was looking though their masks I saw this, and thought it would make a good av.

Mine's the Legion Emblem of the Nightlords. They're one the legions that turned coat and joined Horus in rebelling against the Imperium of Man.

I chose it because it's a damn cool logo. I still have the christmas variant around somewhere.

The Vicious one I was using before was just a damn cool screencap from Real Folk Blues Pt 2. What can I say, I like Vicious.

Tasoth · Post by **Tasoth** » 2003-09-06 07:15pm

The Legion of the Damned Sorceror. Nothing like a spikey haired flamethrower with the bandito mask. Plus he gets cool points for becoming a demon eventually.

Mark S · Post by **Mark S** » 2003-09-06 07:17pm

The Hobgoblin from the Hobgoblin Ale label. Chose it because I've always liked the picture. Couldn't get a good quality image to fit into the restrictions though.

Sir Sirius · Post by **Sir Sirius** » 2003-09-06 07:55pm

The bigger star is Sirius A, the little star circling the bigger one is Sirius B.

Meaning... My name is Sirius, so my avatar is a picture of Sirius. There is no greater meaning to it then that.
