Wondering why a lot of people here don't put their real pic on their profile pic?

Mine is a picture of me

So's mine. I'm a fat, balding doofus, who happens to get by in life.

My avatar is a constant reminder to me: I represent Christ through virtue of taking upon myself the title of 'Christian'. It is there to remind me that I need to act the part.

As most of will do is to change our avatar when we are impressed on a subject. :)

I do post pics in the gallery of the family and what ever is taken by others.

Pssst, look at my avatar. See that that thing hanging from my belly? Means I'm a her.

Beefche, that reminds me of when my baby brother was about 4, we were at my Uncles and Uncle was milking the cows. Baby brother (who is now 49) was squatting down next to Uncle and with the most quizzical look on his face asked how come that cow had 4 pee'ers? Needless to say the milking took a LOT longer to do that evening, and I learned that not only did old lady's like my Grandma wet themselves when they laughed too hard, so did Uncles and nieces (Me!).

I change my avatar with my moods and I won't use a picture of me either. There are too many weirdo's/jerks/psychos out there as it is and I am not adding to the mix.

I prefer to put seasonal avatars, or goofy ones, or perhaps a statement of how I feel at the moment.

Thanks! If you get too wet, just say something. I'll try to cut back for you.

*snickers* This reminds me of a story as well. When I was younger, my brother along with my parents went to the Clark County State fair. We were walking around the animal pavillion and there were a lot of livestock. We were looking at this cow who had just finished having a bath and we were having a good time when suddenly the cow's tounge extended and licked my brother squarely across his face. He looked compleatly shocked, as he really wasn't expecting it and we started laughing and stating that he had gotten kissed by a cow.

Edit: And I decided to change my avatar as well. :)

Wonder if I could scribble a mustache and beanie on my picture?

Back by popular demand - with a new friend who sought me out.

Some of us did things before we were LDS and we dont want someone to run across a pic of us and have us or our friends be targeted by organizations like the FBI or Mafia
