Story behind your Avatar?

Sign in to disble this ad
So whats the story behind your avatars? Mine is kinda generic, i dig zappa, so i tossed him on there. Specifically i think when i donated to the site i was listening to him and saw his name mentioned in a thread though.






P.S. - I figured since this is a more general question it shouldn't be locked...PM me if I'm mistaken, but im checking the rules and see no problem with this.

It's a headstock of a Valenti Bass. I'm the owner and sole employee of Valenti basses so it makes sense.

Well....I don't have an avatar, But my avatar on everyother site I frequent is a picture taken when I was paintballing. I was wearing a blue/black mask with black lens. I was running up the center and he shot me square in the face. Right in the mask. The paint was white fill. The ref saw it, busted out laughing and shouted " you busted a ball on his f'n face! all over his face!" It looks rather funny.



thats it BTW

When I buy Supp. membership..this will most likey be avvy

Mr. Atoz was an inhabitant of the planet Sarpeidon whose sun was going supernova. He was the overseer of a library and the Atavachron, a time portal device that he used to transport the inhabitants of the planet into the past in order to escape its destruction. If you were a geek you'd already know this.

It's a coin toss anyway. I say throw whatever you want out there and see what sticks.

Oh, yeah....I don't have an avatar. When I did it was a label warning those who are on fire not to run around.

I tossed a coin, heads was the cover of disraeli gears, and tails was a neon brown rectangle (to expose people to the dangers of this disgusting yet not widely known color).. The coin landed perfectly on its side, vertically

I'm playing my Nissan symbol-adorned bass with a wrench. It's a statement about the duality of man.
