@achewood There are only five Wodehouse books on my special Wodehouse shelf?! As Jeeves himself might ask, "Where in the fuck are the rest of them."

Nice Avatar Linnea.  Is it a self-portrait?


And is that a frog in your hand or what??


Heh! Why, yes indeedy, it is a self-portrait.

And that is not a frog, it is my beloved kitty, Lennybruce. ^_^

I got the avatar here: http://illustmaker.abi-station.com/index_en.shtml. Don't be intimidated by the seemingly long list of features...although it takes a long time to make one (about four and a half minutes). They are rad.

I've used that thingy before.  Most disconcerting.


Edit:  According to my closest approximation and the other-thingy Choop linked to, I look like this:

Sorta.

Except for the hair (they had no mini-pompadors, and no dirty blonde colour) this looks surprisingly like me.

Except for the cigarette (which we can pretend is a joint) and a coffee, it looks nothing like me.
The shades are totally different, the hair's all wrong, the face shape is wrong, the nose is wrong, the ears are wrong...

Apart from that though...



I was very, very bored, and am now desperately trying not to think...

Addition: At least this one features some more anime hairstyle, and allows purple...

That's about as close as I can get.

Here's another site I made an avatar from a while back:



Meh.

See, everyone looks remarkably far more like their than I do mine...
Except maybe yours Andalucia?

It's probably because they don't offer either a suitable purple or anime style quiff.

This was strangely fascinating.

I don't know if this looks like me, but it does capture the vague look of confusion and distress that is characteristic at the moment, and I like the odd small mammal.



Also I am standing in front of a statue of a famous dog in Japan, where I'd much rather be than here right now.  It's kind of stupid that they make your head cover the important part of the background picture, but I know it's there and that's what counts.

ps Surely time to split this thread...

Well, I fiddled with this for a while, and I wasn't quite able to make myself look like I didn't have Down Syndrome, but to be fair, this is also a problem with normal photos. Thus:

You bet your White Irish Ass. Skinny monochromatic ties are all I'll wear, if I can find them; I know what works and I'm fuck*ng well sticking with it.

(I bought the tie five years ago, and have no actual idea when it rolled off the assembly line. Apologies to you and yours / budding socio-historians.)

They didn't have anything between slight five o'clock shadow and full bushy beard with handlebar moustache, so this'll have to do.
