I'm the only site mod who actually changes his avatar.

WB gets some credit for touching his up for the holidays and changing for specific Star Trek related events but it's still that same old purple headed warriorfighter eternal champion(?) 99.9% of the time.
I think it's time we put and end to all that. So who'd like to see Tenser, sabby and WB change their avatars? Granted this will be like pulling the cigar out of Tenser mouth*, taking the purple off WBs skin* or putting a smile on sabbys face* but it might be worth it in the long run.

* Cigars are actually bad for you so this would be a good thing. Also there is no sexual innuendo when I mentioned pulling it out(it being the cigar). Obviously a cigar can be seen as phallic and the act of smoking can be seen as sucking on it but that does not mean Tenser is in fact gay or that I'm subtly implying that he is.
* In no way am I condoning the forcible removal of WBs skin or any attempts to throw paint on him. I respect the purple peoples right to exist but I reserve the right to change my stance if they start eating people.
* There is evidence that sabby smiles IRL, we've seen at least one picture of this over the years. Even without that evidence I assume he has a few reasons to smile on a daily basis. This vote is purely about his deadpan avatar. Why are you so with us sabby?
But why do you hate that Tenser? I think we'd all like to hear why you've stayed with the same avatar for the past 3-4 years(or however long I've known you).
For a year or more after I signed onto RU I had one avatar. I really liked it but I was itching to change it for months before I finally did. I think it was this one or one very similar to it-
I also relate people to avatars but I do it more generally. It's not always perfect but I noticed most people who change it a lot have a certain theme to it. Like mine are usually characters I really like or things that make me laugh, JG seems to go with bizarre retro stuff, DN likes stuff that's so bad it's good, ect.
Instead of looking at the name of who posted what I usually just look at the avatar.
I agree with this point and I often find, for example, Tenser's posts this way - by looking for the little cigar chomping dude with the black baseball cap.
So in that regard I say the 'Mods in question' should leave their avatars alone.
To tell the truth I can't imagine at this point {I've been here for over a year now, for those unaware} seeing WB without his purple dude, or GG without his blue dude, or Sabby without his pixelated picture, or ...
But honestly I think the avatar is an individual thing, and people should change them if they want to.
I am kind of liking the way Dora looks for mine though, and may keep her for a while.
Sorry in advance, DB, but I was thinking it before I saw this post just so you know.
By the way to answer your question your avatar is pretty scary but I imagine that's the intention of it.
Sure I'm always down for a good bet. Question is, who do you want? I think the smart money is on Silva. Honestly I'd rather not bet on Belfort at all, he's good but Silva is a beast. Maybe bet on the Griffon v Franklin fight?
Btw I got BJ Penn for the next one. Also I'm excited to see Jorge Rivera on a main card(vs Bisping). One of my best friends is related to him and he lives really close to me. I think he just opened up a MMA school in my town too. I hope he does well, Bisping can be tough. Jorge Rivera (fighter) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I like turtles...ninja turtles that is. And I know everything about them from all the character's voice actors down to what type of pencils the cartoonist used.
I guess you and a few other people completely missed the lighthearted tone of this topic. I thought I went out of my way to add lots of BS to hammer that point home, guess it wasn't enough.

I kind of take offense to this. It is hard to get a smile off my face in real life. Even with my current situation in life, I still am upbeat, smiling and positive. I have a wonderful family, which is enough to make anyone smile, the rest is just icing on the cake.
Do I sound that "blah" in my posts? I have received many PM's and comments about my positive/funny posts, but of course, I guess I don't have enough posts to qualify.
Sorry that a 90's sports video game representation (that does not show much emotion) of me is not good enough for you.

I think you should use a Bruce Campbell one for awhile. That way you could be certain that it is awesome, and also you could hopefully be happy with one for awhile.
@sabby- Like I was saying to Tails, this is a joke. I'm not trying to presume anything about you or make real comments on your online persona. When I said you have a few reasons to smile I meant your family. Sorry if you misunderstood.
Well that's it, I give up. I'll check in later but damn if this isn't disappointing.

If you noticed, I was creating my post when the "this is a joke" revelation was made.

I think you are. What you see on-line, is what you get with me in real life. Those who know me, know that.

I understand completely. You think my only joy in life is my family. I have plenty of wonderful things in my life, many of which you have no idea about.
"My mind is my weapon. My brother has his sword, King Robert has his warhammer and I have my mind... and a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge. That’s why I read so much, Jon Snow."
Well you thought wrong. EVERYTHING in my first post was tongue in cheek and meant to be silly. I based everything I said about you(and the others) on avatars. Your avatar looks depressed or w.e. I added the part about you having a few reasons to smile so you wouldn't be offended in anyway.
I really don't get why people took this so damn seriously. Should I load up on emoticons next time so the point is glaringly obvious for everyone? Should I just not bother joking around anymore?
To whoever rated me down, thanks for totally missing the point or being a troll.
Your new nightmare XXVII:
with us sabby?
Maybe bet on the Griffon v Franklin fight?
