It's only as serious as the one who's speaking of it, but that's pointing out the obvious.

My AV is from a pic I drew of Psykotto, a guy I made up whose name I use like everywhere but here.
In my mythology, there are several gods and several devils, Psykotto is the master of the devils, or as I usually call them, Demon Lords. So basically, if god and satan were real, Psykotto would be satan's master.

The top part of my avatar is me taking a break while backpacking in Yellowstone during my honeymoon. The bottom part is my favorite photo of my dogs, Ranger and Emma, who I love immensely. I really wanted to use both photos, so I did.

Your body position makes it look like you're packing a heavy load and are a bit weary from it :wink:


You are quite right! It took forever to climb to the top of the steep hill and I thought I was going to die because I could barely breathe. We took a nice long break before we continued on to our campsite...which was, thankfully, a much flatter hike. :)

Well, I'm sorry I didn't see the obvious. Some things just go right over my head.

It's a sad thing when I miss sarcasm.

Mine I got off a website that offered free jpegs. I don't remember the website name but I have seen it in another website named "electro-blue". It comes across to me as a manifestation of pure energy from the universe. The name I chose "Silver Meteor" is the Amtrak Passenger train route from New York City to Miami. When I came across this particular name, it simply stuck with me. This was well before I came to Wrong Planet. I simply liked putting the two together.

Mine is something I drew on my homework for an engineering statics class when I got bored.

Mine is taken from the movie "Flåklypa Grand Prix". The car is named Il Tempo Gigante and is (in the movie) powered by a V12 in the front and a rocket engine in the rear. The real Il Tempo Gigante was powered by a 500 hp 7 liter Cevrolet V8 in the front, and a turbine engine in the rear. With the turbine engine activated, the car is nearly impossible to controll, so it's never used. Besides, it's illegal to use the turbine engine on normal roads because of the noise it makes.

Mine is a picture of my username, which in turn is a nick-name of mine. An old boss called me speedy because I would take my time over the tasks I didn't like, but picked up new skills quickly. Speedy from the DC comics is far cooler than Speedy Gonzales the mouse. In my estimation, anyway...

Mine resembles the Silver Surfer... In the latest film he tries to do good and help people but he always ends up either messing everything up or ruining it... when he always means good...and I like the movie

It's from my favorite film. In this image Amelie is startled to hear of the death of Princess Diana. What happens next triggers a change in Amelie. She goes on a quest to bring happiness to people she barely knows.

Like CR, I did choose this one in large part because of Starbuline.

This is the image I'm talking about. I'm probably going to change it soon. I love it but I want to visit other scenes from the movie. :)

Mine is The Joker & Harley Quinn of Batman fame in an artwork by Alex Ross. I love these 2 characters because they are both 'crazy' in love. It's a tragic love story.
