I experimented with the avatar pool...did a little of this...a little of that. But i've come full circle and gone back to the vulture. Perhaps I'll take another spin around the block...who knows.

The bag head represents the anonymity of internet/forums. And I used to draw a cartoon about a super hero who wore a paper bag on his head. (I guess he wasn't really a super hero, he was more like a regular grocery bag boy who tried to be a super hero)

I was original borg guy, until I noticed the availability of bag head and got around to changing it.

I've never once changed my avatar. I even copied it to use in another forum. ;)


I just find it hilarious that a forum filled with users and moderators that are so incredibly uptight would have a virgin mary avatar available.

The legendary huntsman of Greek myth, a grandson of Cadmus. During a hunt, he left the party and wandered alone through the forest when he suddenly came upon a clearing. There he saw the goddess Artemis bathing in a large pool, surrounded by her nymphs. When they noticed the hunter they flew themselves before the goddess, but he had already seen her splendid nakedness. Angered, she turned him into a stag for she refused to let any mortal say that he had seen Artemis naked.

Actaeon moved away from the clearing feeling different and confused, not yet realizing what had happened to him. The truth hit him when he saw his own reflection in a river and he knew he was no longer human. In the distance he heard the sound of his own hounds. A brief moment of joy quickly turned into fear when he realized they were hunting him now, not recognizing their former master. He fled but was eventually overrun and torn to pieces.


A wolf is like a hunting dog...

I love mushrooms. Possibly even shrooms, but I have never tried them. I try to give other 'shrooms a good name, but probably fail miserably.
