Everyone looks weird without their avatar

[Kathy in Cambridge]

It's kind of like walking around nekkid, or changing your hair color from bleach blond to goth black.

When I skim threads and want to stop to read someone's post, I realize that I associate names with avatars. i guess I'm a visual kind of girl.

It's weird seeing progmom without Kate Hepburn
JimmyJazz without Joe Strummer
BlondieK and her palm tree
kick-ass-bob with out his Bush-picker

it's just weird. I don't know who is who anymore. :cry:

Can anyone remember who's avatar was what? what was mine?

1. I'll bet you don't recognize me...

without my half-smile. ;)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

3. yup! it's weird how much we associate names with avatars

:-)

[Telly Savalas]

9. Yeah. I always think of Will Pitt as that guy who looks like RFK

[Left Is Write]

11. At another website I belonged to, my avatar was Adrian Paul.

I had that avatar for two years, and it became so closely associated with me, even *I* didn't recognize myself without it!

20. or pics in siglines

One of my friends on the board until she met me thought I looked like my sig, I was like uhh no, anyhow I agree with you about avatars and associating people with their avatar, Ive always been a visual learner myself as well. Got your email and PM both btw.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

21. I need to revamp my sigline

I'm thinking of bringing back kitties!

[JohnKleeb]

22. I see two kitties in yours

Oh you mean all kitties, how ya doing btw?

2. On the other hand,

I *have* been meaning to change my "I voted" av for the longest time.

4. I'm sure this wasn't on the top of your list as a replacement. n/t

[sui generis]

5. look hedges, you're just going to have to get over it.

it's only going to stay that way until you cough up some dubloons anyway.

There is a price to be paid for individuality. :evilgrin:

[Hugin]

6. Eeeek!

<covers self>

I feel nekkid!

:) <--- New avatar...

Must make do.

[Mutley]

between that and the no sig lines

DU looks completely different today.

[yvr girl]

7. What about me and my flowers?

:cry:

I use the avatars for skimming too.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

12. I know-your flowers.

I am totally discombobulated!

[Swamp Rat]

8. HEY! It's Grovel Bot!

He must've been on vacation with the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Bots, Crow and Tom Servo. :)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

10. Where's your evil art work?

:P

[Swamp Rat]

14. I'm working on a few right now

;)



You know, because some buttholes, like Rush Limbaugh, deserve it.

[DrDebug]

13. You had the same as bluebear

That's how I recognized you. Bluebear used to have a blue bear but it became a red sock and Kathy in Cambridge also wears Red Sox.

Am I right or am i right?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

15. You are right. and did you have the Dalai Lama as your avatar?

[DrDebug]

16. I'm impressed :)

:applause:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

17. I'm a visual learner

it's weird-I always remember clothing color, landmarks etc.

[lastliberalintexas]

18. Leave it to a Red Sox fan

to need pictures for communication. One of these days maybe you can work your way up to My Pet Goat. :7

I'd say "Go Astros" at this point, but they just suck so there's really no point!

:hi: Kathy

[Kathy in Cambridge]

19. Hey!

:hi:

How are ya?
