Because I am not afraid to peer through my bifocals and beat you all over the head with my cane. :p

Posts 1-100: baghead, chosen because I was new
Posts 101-1000: laughing, can't remember why I chose it
Posts 1001-?: blindfold, because you are all so ugly it blinded me. :p

I don't know if I'll change it if/when I hit 10000

Give us a break, you've had that avatar for like 2 days and if you have it another 2 I'll be surprised. Is there one you haven't had?

No, I've used all of them. However, I've used this one far longer than any of the others. Just because I just recently switched back to it doesn't mean I haven't ever used it before. :roll: Go away, n00b.

If I did I'd miss out on your twice-weekly avatar changing routine :D

Umm, you're married, dude. ;)


Yeh, but I guess I mean I've always done a lot of stuff on my own and don't *require* other people to be with me.

:laugh: I think twice a week is an average. Every time I see someone bitch about me changing my avatar, I change it immediately. :p

i picked mine randomly? do you believe it?

im shocked at how little attention I paid to the avatars before. i thought the green snake was actually an arm being flexed, and never realized the soup can had "worms" written on it, or saw "tech" written on that guys hat. also, i always thought the vulture was a grandma. it looks like its wearing a granny shirt. i mean i didnt actually *think* thats what the avatars were, but just what i assumed by always just glancing at them in my periphery.

In that case, you *definately* should have chosen the backpack. With a name like "HardcoreRobot" it is clearly the right avatar for you.

Well then why did you choose the borg guy? First of all, he's a cyborg, not a robot. Second of all, he's no rogue, the borg can't even think for themselves, they have a collective mind remember?
