I have finally got around to adding an avatar for myself. I've seen all the weird and wonderful avatars that people are using so I thought it might be interesting to hear why people have chosen their particular avatar.
Who wants to go first?

It was among the first to appear on a search meeting the physical parameters needed

Why I choose my avatar I'm using? That's an interesting question. I think I found on dc then looking for some videos and I liked it so I decided to use it as an avatar.
Perhaps also you can explain why you decided to use your avatar, TPO?

Mine's the Laughing man from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. The smiley happy guy is a nice contrast to my previous avatar, which had a anime guy, vaguely resembling The Tick, yelling.

I cropped a graphic used in some comercial site, can't remember which.

TPO/ Yes, the jazz, but thought the graphic was nice enough to live with the Sony part. I suppose if I wanted to kill two or three minutes I could get rid of that part

Because I'm a squirrel!!
Or maybe not.
I'm probably just mad.

Naw...I just chopped it out of some wallpaper, since it caught my attention out of the collection I've got.

Well, I have a 100x100 one on my LJ site. I think this is 64x64. I think I have a 48x48 one in the DC:Pro and DCGUI-QT forums. It's all from an Illustrator drawing I made, so I can scale it as appropriate.

Mine's really not that complicated...I guess.
I just really love playing pool (especially 9 ball, 14.1 Straight, and One-Pocket). I have won some pretty huge games...including two against Janette Lee at a
somewhat local hall. Ok, we played 12 games...but not too bad.
Hehe.

Ah, cool. I never really studied it, and at first glance it looks like a baseball cap. But it is just an inverted picture of a pool ball. Cool.

Hehe.
