    Avatars! Why did you choose yours

    Sorry chaps but I'm bored and the Crystal Ball isnt lighting my fire so I thought I might ask a question that I've wanted to ask for the past few weeks or so.

    Would anyone like to tell us the reasons behind the interesting gifs that they use for their Avatars (Gurm/Greebe etc)? Do many have a story behind theirs or is it just a case of finding a pic that one finds interesting.

    Just in case anyone wants to incriminate me over mine, I choose a Jackass/Donkey simply because of an inhouse joke at work. (I was that Joke)!

    Regards MD

    I liked Pixar's short movie "For the birs" (shown here in theaters just before Monsters Inc.). This image is part of a frame in the movie, I liked this birds' expression.

    Earlier I was working on a 3D logo with my initials (VJ), but I ran into some problems mapping the materials, etc... Perhaps it will come someday.

              That'd be helpfull if I knew what the heck your avatar was.

              Mine's just a nice pair of headphones, Sennheiser HD600's.

                Because Paint Rulez of course

                ...or was it because I didn't have a good avatar, and only had 23 seconds to make one...
