What does your avatar mean?

Oh, yes! I had just watched that a year or so ago based on your recommendation.

A really interesting children's movie I saw recently was The Neverending Story. The puppetry was a tad hokey, but the idea behind the story was really cool. (Not unlike the idea behind A Wrinkle in Time, actually.)

The Neverending story was originally written in German as "Die Unendliche Geschicte" translated in 83, I got my hands on a translated first edition. A very interesting literary work and alphabetical chapter arrangement. Do yourself a favor an read the book. The theme is better developed in this format.

Arr, me avatar? T'be Winston, o' course. I couldn't a-show ya what exactly be me motivation fer choosin' that image, but rest assured, hearties, it be thar fer a reason. Maybe I jest be choosin' it 'cause it be kooky. After all, I do be wanderin' 'roun' wif eyepatches o'er me eyes an' peg legs an' 'ook 'ands, all by me own volition, an' then I be complainin' 'bout it. Selectin' a flap-jaw Winston avatar jest follers naturally.

Madame McDonough, though rather jumbled, I believe what Monsieur is trying to say is thus...

He is taking flight to France to view the Eiffel Tower and therfore, will be away for a legnthy amount of time.

Monsiour Van Der Bulge....

Ayez des vacances fabuleuses

Appréciez la tour Eiffiel..mangez de la crème brulée et the vin blanc!

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help....

Her reputation was her livelihood.

I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice!

My inner voice sometimes has an accent!

My wont? A delicious rip in time...

Quoi? Je suis déjà allé à France, et mangé de la crème brulée et bu le vin blanc. J'ai les fait pour cinq mois. Personne a volé mon voiture (Quand je voyage je conduis. Même à travers l'océan.) à Paris, donc j'ai resté en France jusqu'l'on a retourné mon auto. Maintenant, je parle seulement français. Merde!

LOL!!!! ( I refuse to translate all that above....Merde, zut.) :ph34r::ph34r:

As to the Avatar....

It represents a line from a very old rhyme which began in old Europe and in original form refered to magpies. It is theorized that with the steady migration to the Colonies, that its' form was altered to crows. The rhyme/poem is rather obscure in origins, though most agree that it lies in England and was used as a form of fortune telling; ie. the number of birds counted dictated future events. ( Counting rhymes in general are believed to be thus. ) The number being "two" is noted as representing joy / mirth. There are many variations of the counting rhyme in question; some lines numbering seven others to higher numbers.

Can't rember what I put for the answer last time but here goes.

Mine is the third national flag of the CSA with the red stripe reduced and a skull and cross bones placed in the center. As to what it means well I am a pyrate from the deep South and really wouldn't have it any other way. It is I admit some what obvious and I have yet to change it as well.... I like it. I still some times wonder if anyone here puts their own meaning and or feelings behind my avatar and come up with a lesser few of me. Odd that, as for the most part I could care less but I would feel bad if it led to some one feeling hurt and or less than welcome. ........... ?????????

Time for an update! (And a topic boost...)

First, we have Eugene the Jeep, who is a 4th dimensional creature that solves problems and always tells the truth:

And then there was Pan, the mischievous boy who never wanted to grow up:

And just today, I switched to Koehler. (I used this photo because I couldn't find an undead shot of him. Maybe I'll rip one off the DVD and change the shot.)

The rose came alive,

Coloured deeply red,

The boy just arrived,

And as my heart, the rose wasn't dead.

Mines been either of myself or myself with Barbossa. :)

Currently it's myself with Barbossa and a ship at sunset under it. Something that ties in Barbossa.
