I wanted to use something else. I couldn't shrink the image sufficiently to make it fit the size limit :(

Will do.

I love cartoons and the Incredibles has become my favorite movie... I also like Edna's character and her sayings... I was trying to figure out how to get a picture of myself on a bike with a cape, and why it would be a bad idea, as Edna would explain "No Capes!" (I admit, pretty lame, but it makes me laugh)

I am a martial arts master and browsing for a Avatar liked this one. No

Let's discuss that. I am male and 50, and, because of time and erosion, I've aquired a sense of sardonic humor about the Human Condition. Besides, the look on the Doc' face... kind of a Mel Brooks thing. :lol:

Very Cromagnon. Emerson is the dodo I got the Einstein :rolleyes: Me and my buddies have wonderful shots like that but unfortunately we didn't intend them to be that way... :) slvoid cracks me up!

Surely we can find another way to say that. "Emerson has a dodo as his avatar" has a very different conotation from "Emerson is the dodo." Thank you very much. :D

Mine says "Bicycle Mind" inside a Buddhist circle, which represents both the oneness of all things, the cycle of re-birth, and my front wheel. All of that would be pretty self-explanatory if I could get it to show clearly. I've worked to get the file size down, etc, but no luck so far. Any ideas?

Mine's Chief Wiggum in his underpants holding a gun...saying the funniest line ever uttered on the Simpsons.

I chose Tweety bird 'cause of my username :] It's a cute cartoon too


I've been thinking of changing it, though. I found this website where you sort of design your own avatar person, and I can make it look like me... unfortunately it doesn't provide anything bike related :(

[QUOTE= sick of my own company. It was probably the most miserable day of my life. 'sigh' Wish I was back there :o[/QUOTE]

Been ther too (not the place but the feeling. I know what you mean. Well said.

Just a lil' picture of my rear cassette. Before it turned (and now stays) black :p

Appropriate with your sig too. as well as you preference to commuting on two wheels (well, when not doing wheelies ;) )

[QUOTE= distinctive helmet cover.[/QUOTE]


Did you write your sig? I love it and would like to use it when I explain why I ride to work to my colleagues.

Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos is the greatest comic book of all time. Okay, after Uncle Scrooge, but much as I like Barks' work, Disney is a tad to corporate.

I used to use Wonder Warthog, another personal fave.

Mine was a test photograph I had at the office, taken as an experiment when we bought a digital camera. I cropped out just the face and sized it to about 64 pixels.

I picked mine b/c it is the only picture of the robot I built in my garage. The shot was taken shortly before it malfunctioned and destroyed nearly everything I own. The only three words it knows (and keeps repeating) are "Crush... Kill... Destroy..." I was able to escape, but it's been chasing me across state boundaries for three years now. I hate that fuggin' robot...

I like Tequila and my Wife likes cats. Combine the two.....

I've never understood your avatar. After your explanation, now I can say that... I still don't understand it. :o

i'm known, respected, chided, lauded and frowned upon by friends for my relentless inquisitiveness and fascination of the on-going wow and wonder this place has to offer; if it exists, i'm interested. plus i've lost myself in reverie on many occasions; and ANY thing can trigger this. :D

Well, his avatar is of a purple anodized (I assuming itś anodized anyway...the point is itś purple), nipple - the thing what holds spokes to rims etc etc... above that and under his user name it says ¨Purple nurple¨ ie what older sibbling do to their younger sibblings to torture/hurt/scar for life...

Yep, I get it. It appeals to me, maybe I´m a little strange too ;)

As for my avatar, it´s pretty boring. Just a photo I took of the innards of the label printer I use at work.

it's my twice daily hit

Mine has a helmet ... a reminder to self.

Open MS Paint, open the pic you want to use, go to Image, then click Attributes. It'll say how big, in pixels, your picture is. Divide 64 by the largest dimension (64x64 being the maximum Avatar size here), eg. A picture that's 400x600 pixels, divide 64 by 600 and you get .106666. Now get out of Attributes, go to Image, then Stretch/Skew. In the Stretch section, replace both 100%'s with 10.66% (move the decimal place), and bang, you've got a reduced picture. Save it as a .gif and upload it as an avatar.

I'm sure there are better ways to do this, since MS Paint generally sucks, but it works.

Mine just kinda looks like me.

My interest is peaked. What is the connection to Dallas. I was thinking the Mobile sign also.

The name I use (almost) everywhere...from my days of lovin' Kerouac.
"I like cows...i like to watch them eat...I like cows...they have tiny little feet."
(don't know if i got the quote correct)

tells it all (and i'm not from there...weird!)

My two rides. Pontiac Aztek Rally AWD. Holds bikes very well. Inside is my newest FS MTB, A Giant NRS1.

Do i really need to explain mine?...
