Avatars: random ponderings

I've realised my brain processes things very visually. The avatars mean that all Hitchers are now totally linked to random pictures in my head. Soph is a glamorous cartoon character, LouM is a pole dancer and BGB is an obese woman. Nick is a Fairport Convention album in my head as the font looks...

I've realised my brain processes things very visually. The avatars mean that all Hitchers are now totally linked to random pictures in my head.

Soph is a glamorous cartoon character, LouM is a pole dancer and BGB is an obese woman. Nick is a Fairport Convention album in my head as the font looks similar (I have no idea what his avatar actually is). Mel always looks very glamorous and Claires is a dog, clearly ?

Chicken and Maxi must look the same as they are both lying down dogs. There are a couple of other similar ones that also confuse my small brain.

    Ah, never seen it! Maybe I should find a thundercat for my avatar then....

    (I have a double-barrelled name and R-A is the initials of my first name and the nickname most of my friends use)

    My twin Anna-Banana and I are easily recognisable out on the street - might be the hair lol.

    Thanks for the suggestions, R-A, the ones on that Google page are all a bit creepy! There are some good ones in this book, I'll have to try to get one on the computer.

    I think I might stick to my dolphins for now, there were 4 swimming together so I took a pic whilst we were on honeymoon. It doesn't really look like dolphins on that tiny pic though! So does that mean if I don't change my avatar to a gnomette I should change my name to something dolphin related to avoid confusion?

    R-A, if you change your avatar to Mumra could you somehow get it to play the thundercats song when you post? It would certainly be memorable!

    Oh dear, he doesn't look very nice. Not sure if I want that as my avatar!

    Might be more in keeping with my personality on here sometimes though ?

    I always think of the Egyptian Sun God Ra when I see your name. Maybe something Egyptian would be good?

    When I first looked up 'decibelle' for an avatar, all I got were strippers and porn stars. ? In fact, my first ever HItched tag was 'Sifting through porn'. It stayed up forever in the tags cloud and someone complained it looked bad at work! That was before 'Sparkley likes pooing on her dinner guests' and 'Nick likes to felch' appeared. ? I like the one I have now, it reminds me of when I was a teenager!

    I can' t work out what some are - LouM's for instance, what is it?

    Legless's took a while too, but I got there in the end.

    I think so too. Jean-clad legs, standing on a beach. I think.
