Mine is me circa 1995 doing my moose impression after a few beers. Ahhhhh.... drunk and disorderly in university. I do not miss it at all!
Cheers!

I went through 2-3 avatars quickly after first joining. This was sent to me in an e-mail with a bunch of others as suggestions for bumper stickers. I liked it and have had it for almost two years now.
I've been thinking about changing it, but haven't really thought much about what I might change it to yet.

My current avatar is my latest acquisition.
I used to use a picture of my face, but there were too many complaints of vomit on keyboards.

In my defence Quasimodo did have a pronounced hump...so I was kinda on target.

Mine is one of my favorite pictures, my wife was at the helm and I was almost hanging over the side of our boat. It was a GREAT sunset and the way it reflects off the boat is really cool, it's almost hard to tell where the boat ends and the sky begins. The irony is that when I looked backwards (as in 180 degrees) the sky was just a nasty gray.
