I know I have been a member here for months but just got around to setting up a picture but was just looking at others pictures and thinking they are all great.
Anyone want to share why you picked the one you have?

I was in a hurry to post, but I didn't want to hang out with a caveman avatar.  So I quickly chose one of the oldest & most unoriginal Internet avatars, the benign "limecat" avatar.

Thus one of the lords of the cave that is conservative proclaimed to the denizens of the place of much debauchery, lying, faulty logic, evil, and stupidy: "Verily I sayeth unto you, O odiferous lot of the little common sense, whosoever bringeth tthemselves into the cave of beauty, knowledge, and right and spew forth your ignorant and vile thoughts as to darken the beauty of the cave, let it be known that the inhabitants shall SMITE thee mightily....."

Mine's me, from the summer of 2009.

I haven't changed, other than the loss of about seven pounds since then.

I'm not the type who likes to show off, but it's there as a public service for the primitives on Skins's island, so they know what franksolich looks like.  In case you're not familiar with the primitives, they've been stalking franksolich since summer 2005, and despite my best efforts to feed them clues about my identity, they still get it all wrong.

So I thought using this picture as my avatar would help.

Mine's for the 343 FDNY members who dies in the WTC attacks.  I need to update it a bit; a good friend of mine who was in Engine 7 ("Lucky 7") on that day, and who drove back into the city to get with his fellow firefighters that day (he had just left shift before the attack), died fighting a fire in Brooklyn on April 16th of 2012.  I'm going to miss him.

Mine is the shoulder sleeve insignia of the Berlin Brigade, in which I served almost 9 years in one continuous assignment.

That parent unit, and my own unit the 298th Army Band, no longer exist.

You might call that a casualty of winning the Cold War.  :-)

Many of the animated plots were taken from the classic comic book plots from the late 1940's and '50's by Carl Barks.  (...who, despite the rhyming nature of the names, was the antithesis of Karl Marx!  The honest, hard-working capitalism of Scrooge came from Barks' own views, as well as the idea that wealth brought specific problems and did not make one carefree.)

  Devil Dog has been a favorite Marine expression since the bloody Battle of Belleau Wood, a ferocious World War I engagement near Paris that also left the Corps with two of its most endearing quotes. “Retreat? Hell, we just got here,” exclaimed Capt. Lloyd W. Williams, as the French fell back. Similarly, then-Gunnery Sgt. Dan Daly refused to let his men give up, shouting his motivating “Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?”

As legend has it, this determination to win led one German prisoner to tell his captors the Marines reminded him of “Teufelshunde,” a German term translated as “devil dogs.”
 

Lately, reactions to the Corps’ longtime nickname generally depend on the age of the Marine listening.

My age is 66, so I guess I consider myself "Old Corps".  :-)

He's one of my favorite actors.  Former Marine, incredible range of talent.  Plus his characters and I are a lot alike--sarcastic, no-nonsense, and whatever else you wish to ascribe (ask Scoobie as I won't toot my horn very much if I can help it.)

Personally, he almost stole that movie, and for what I consider Mel Brooks' funniest movie (yes, even funnier than Blazing Saddles) that's a hell of an achievement.
