When you see a certain avatar, do you think of a certain person?
Edited on Mon Jan-09-06 03:50 PM by kick-ass-bob
I have one that I see - that makes me wary of them but only because a banned troll/stalker used that one some time ago.

1. Yep!! I kind of identify people with their avatars.
I am completely thrown off by my own new avatar! :crazy:

2. I am too.
But there are 2 avatars that I don't like seeing around.

Apologies to anyone who has those now - the 2 I think of are long gone.

19. You are SO right.
and mods that have that avatar and then write letters to the paper 'pretending' to be liberal....well, there is no arguing that. If that same mod dislikes Jazz, she might as well head over FR and start posting there.

21. Thanks I am so happy
POO!

I actually just look at the screen name. Of course sometimes that can trip you up. There was once a poster named "trumad" here on DU. I SWORE his name was "truman" and didn't realize it until I posted something to him and it was made apparent to me that I had totally misread it the whole time.


Look! POO!

9. Yes.
When I'm sitting here 1/2 asleep, I find my friends on threads easier by seeing their avatar.

14. Thanks Shell. Your new one will take some getting used to.
I really like it.
It's just a little distracting. ;)

15. every time I see the avatar Krishna, it makes me think of Jimi Hendrix
Edited on Mon Jan-09-06 04:00 PM by anarch
but that's probably not what you meant.


It's just that I worship Hendrix as an incarnation of God.

20. Yup.
Which is why I asked Wesley to make a new one so I could confuse you all.

But I'm primarily verbal so it's sig lines that work for me.

Khash.

26. Yes. Which is why I vote that an avatar can be used by only one person.
Multiple people should not be able to use the same avatars.

It's too confusing.

37. That's why I made mine wink.
A lot of people use mine, but MINE is at least a little different.

Every once in a while I do a roll-call to see how many peace kitties are out there, and to let them know it's my logo.

36. I designed mine.
It's my logo from a political column I used to have in a Brooklyn zine that no longer exists.
