Fifty Plus (50+) - Tom, bring back the old avatar!

Pretty please?

I have my new symbol!

I am the Bombadil!

Love The New One.
Keep it !

I liked Tim the Enchanter as TB's avatar. And the Classic Trek line under the user name.

Pretty please?

This coming from a man who has changed his avatar how many times? :D I rather like the new one, Tom.

What's that got to do with it? I like his old avatar.

Nothing will ever be as good as the golden wings.

BTW, If I ran this lace you wouldn't be allowed to change 'em. Life's tough enough without one more layer of change and confusion. :eek:

Avitar's should reflect character.

What if one has no character?

Then one substitures something cuddley like a rabbit.

I think it looks great Tom.

How's this?

If you're going to be in for a penny, then be in for a pound.

What if one has no character?

Only a man of character should use a Rivendell head badge as his avatar. :rolleyes:

Those wings were classic! But I've liked most of his avatars.

I love the rabbit! He's so distinguished looking for a rabbit:)

No offense was intended... just meant that people should be able to change their minds. And, I guess I just thought of you as someone who has exercised that right a few times. So, my first reaction was to type what I did.

I like all your avatars, Tom. But this one is especially nice. I do miss the helmet one, though.

None taken. My search for the perfect avatar has taken many forms, and I consider myself a work in progress (or, as some have said, "a real piece of work, that one."). Hence the evolution in my avatarian history.

That said, I loved Tom's most recent avatar. I shall be in mourning for some time now, if he refuses to recant and bring it back. Sigh.

You are looking pretty buff for a work in progress!

Someone else in the forum uses the same horny-guy avatar. You are too unique to share your image to the forum. :)

Well, when a company like Rivendell names a bike after you, you've got to give them a little love.

Oh! Is that the headbadge for the Tom Bombadil??? In that case, it's an even better avatar than the helmet. Perfect.

Is the Tom Bombadil in your list of potential bikes? When they first showed the sneak peeks at it, you said it was set up pretty much exactly how you would do it.

Too bad avatars can't be enlarged to full size by clicking on them. Then one could do a collage of well liked avatars as an avatar.:p

No, it's a bit too esoteric and expensive. A heavy'ish rigid steel bike with 650Bx52 tires going for $3000 or a bit more. The geometry is off for me too. But it would be a great, classy bike for a recreational ride, kinda like cruising around in a classic car.

If I had more disposable income, it would be a great addition to the stable.

I posted the large image of the headbadge to the Pardeeville thread. You can easily read the Bombadil label on it. You can see it in my avatar if you have a good monitor and good eyesight.

I thought you photoshopped that! I had forgotten that Riv was putting out the TBombadil.

And the Classic Trek line under the user name.

That's the source alright. It comes from a terrible ST:TOS episode, named by some as the worst show they ever shot. But I've watched it numerous times, just to hear McCoy utter this line - plus to see the look on McCoy's face as he says it. Cracked me up when I saw it on the original airing back in the late 60s.

You can watch it here on the 1 minute long trailer for that episode:

It's such a bad episode that when a friend and I were discussing the worst ep of another series, I told her to think of it as the "Spock's Brain" of _______. I don't think I'll ever forgive Fred Freiberger for what he did to ST:TOS in the third season.
