Why don't we all put up pictures of ourselves on our avatars...make this more formal I suppose. I'l do it if the mods do it.

 

P.S.- not trying to start anything unruly. :)

Perhaps my avatar is a picture of me already.

But you said you weren't a man, unless that is a very masculine woman in that picture, but I guess your orientation isn't any of my business anyway.

I've had several people think that my avatar is my picture, since they have spoken of me holding a gun. (It's Sean Connery holding a Walther LP-53 Air Pistol, from the movie poster/promo shots for From Russia With Love)

 

There aren't that many pictures of me on the internet. Unless you Googled very specifically, chances are you'll get the wrong person.

Elsewhere I use the signature

 

Do I look old?

I don't feel old

I don't feel anything till noon

Then it's time for my nap.

 

I definitely reckon that my avatar represents this statement.

Here, here. I too like having what is a relatively common name. You can Google to your heart's content, but I've got plausible deniability for all of them. "Sure, you found a picture of Paul Smith, but not the right Paul Smith" :D

 

To the OP: I prefer my relative anonymity to formality. I don't think that there is much to be gained from using a 'real' picture versus the risks incumbent with willingly giving up anonymity. So, while I appreciate the sentiment behind the idea, I'm going to choose not to participate.

Exactly. Relative anonymity is my attitude as well. And with of order a billion people on the internet, even without a common name, there are going to be many "copies" of you out there.

I prefer not to be influenced or distracted either by other members' splendiforous beauties or hideous ugliosities. Nor do I think it fitting for me to inflict mine on them. :ph34r:

I am one of Phi's many sockpuppets so you better ask him for a photo as I have no independent existence.

 

Glad I read this before suggesting we all take "special" photos to raise awareness for testicular cancer.

Wish I had read this before getting my pic; I thought we were doing colon cancer awareness. :o

 

When someone pointed out that I was wearing 2 different socks, I said " I know; I have another pair just like this at home".

There are count.png or fewer people with my name in the U.S.A.

How many have your name?
