What's to explain?   :-)

I was too lazy to go find an original one. 

I kinda like #3, 6 and 7.  :uhsure:

It's USAAF Sgt. J.J. Sefton, main character of Billy Wilder's Stalag 17, based on the play of the same name. Sefton is an outcast, but not of his own making. He's  made an outsider due to the fact that he doesn't hesitate to trade with the enemy - -a valuable skill he learned after being robbed after his initial arrival.

In the end, he causes the death of the man who betrayed him and his entire bunk, while not really giving a damn about them.

He's one of my favorite fictional soldiers.

Mine is an M60A1 tank, like the one I commanded back in about 1979 (B12, in the 5-33 Armor; I was a buck sergeant).  It was a line drawing that I modified considerably in a paint program.

What is it?

What does it mean?

How did you decide on it?

It's Lil' Bush, from the Comedy Central cartoon that pokes fun at Bush and his administration.

I saw the pic on the net the other day and decided to snatch it.  I'm kinda moody when it comes to my avatar, I'll probably change it again soon. 

I have seen one episode of that show, and "Al Gore" made an appearance on it when I was watching...he was a turd, and he said, "I'm made of corn and almonds!"
That show is hilarious.  I love 'Lil Cheney.  I was gonna use him as an avatar right after the show came out, but could find anything.


rahrararhararaha.

He's hilarious, I like that show too.

And here you go:




As for my own avatar, I found a couple of pictures of redheads that I liked and I resized them to avatar size.  I also have a couple of South Park Miss Mia's. 

I used the legs at CU for so long.  I thought I'd change it up.  No one really cared for the Evil Bert that I had so I went back to something still "sexy" but different.

I use a different avatar at DU.  I've had the same one over there forever now, but I like it and no one else is using it either

ahem..........yeah they are. Such a mean thing to do

You don't like my avatar I use at DU?  Plus DU avatars have to be square and smaller than the avatars here.

Chinese Kenpo, or American Kenpo?  Cause Elvis, like myself, was a practitioner of American Kenpo.
