Inspired by orangerineman's post asking pmogeans to explain their name, let's tell the stories surrounding our avatars.

I saw a red panda at the zoo in Granby, QC and decided they were simply the best animal ever.

My original avatar was something else. Then a few months ago when a bunch of others were posting in the Win 25,0000 thread about the awesomeness of bacon, I posted a link to a Google Trends page comparing bacon and peppers (peppers win, btw). But bacon is awesome, so I made a picture showing the two foods of the gods ... a chile pepper and bacon.

Spend enough time outside of The Vault and you will know what my avatar is all about :)

Just pointed the camera at a mirror :)

Deadpool + Bacon = Win

Bacon.

The Scan picture of my unborn baby, (15weeks now)

I figured Cloud needed a Bacon Buster Sword... just 'cause.

Congrats Salmontickler!

My current avatar is Of Godless Killing Machine. (GKM)

My very first one was of a Seagull Perching on a 'nO SEAGULLS ALLOWED" sign. Fight the Power!

But yeah i'm still looking for a way to incorporate Pi into the avatar. (The 314 part of GKM314)

I'm a biohazard!

Mine is Tank Girl. She's hardcore. With guns. And cigarettes. :D (besides, I like happy bright colours! So much for being hardcore ;P )

Max from the Freelance Police + Bacon

Mine have been pizzas that I've made and devoured in a crusty rage.

Badgers...cos I live in the Badger state and I'm sort of a UW fangirl even though I didn't go to school there, and cos I'm really good at "badgering" people to get what I want. Other people call it "being an obnoxious pest." Whatevs. :-) Also, I like to earn badges.

My badger is pbbbting you. And he's a bacon badger FTW.

To those who found my first explanation too cryptic...my avatar comes from the Fallout series. Its the face of the Brotherhood of Steel to be specific. I'm a huge fan of Fallout 1 & 2 and can't wait for Fallout 3.

It's um... my picture!

@marc lol, and I thought the Fallout avatar was self-explanatory ;)

It's an extreme closeup of the eye of a picture I drew and Photoshop-colored. The full is here: http://i292.photobucket.com/albu...
He's a character I made up for a story I'm in the process of beginning to write, and that I sometimes like to use when role-playing online since I have a picture of exactly what he looks like when they ask for appearance, heh.

Who's the man in the suit?

Who's the cat with the beak?

Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law

At first I had a picture of myself that I took especially for PMOG, but then PMOG randomly replaced it with someone else's avatar and I couldn't find the original on my PC.

So I browsed my photos and cropped this avatar from a photo I took last year when my then-fiance (now husband) and I went down to Wied Iz-Zurrieq in the south of the island to enjoy the scenery.

I commonly use monkeys to explain how things work to people on a daily basis - they're much akin to gremlins, or fairies, or hamsters that run servers, or people that right code.

Former staff of mine lived in an apartment above The Monkey Grind, and asked them if they had any artwork of their logo they didn't mind me using for chat icons.

Then one day I logged into pmog and found the monkey discovered some bacon. I have no idea how. I think the image-manipulation monkeys did it.

Edit: whoa there, spelling...

A quote from author John Green. Can't remember which of the vlogbrothers videos he said it in though.

Is that a quote from the author John Green?

@ shyiskhar

No, I don't think it was.

lol The forum conked on me. Time to destroy some posts.
