What is the story behind your Avatar

[Spock]

I always thought you were fly fishing

Regarding my avatar - I love Star Trek and Mr Spock/Leonard Nimoy in particular.

George Herriman's genius cartoon strip from the early to mid years of the 20th century, a zany tragicomic love triangle for the ages set against a mutating, surrealistic Arizona landscape:

Offisa Pupp loved Krazy Kat; Krazy loved the mouse Ignatz; Ignatz hated Krazy and endlessly bonked the annoying Kat's head with a brick -- which Krazy misinterpreted as a love tap; and Pupp ocassionaly tossed Ignatz into the jailhouse.

This was my avatar at an online site where I used to review movies. On a whim I ported it over to QQ. It sort of fits here. Just think of Krazy Kat as a surround music fan and Ignatz as the music industry...oh, yeah, and Michael Dutton or Marshall Blonstein as Offisa Pupp.

I chose this avatar as it sums up my desire to protect what I have, see what I would like to have and be on the lookout for something unusual.

The light travels through 360 degrees, just how I like my music.

'beerking' derives from my interest in home brew production and my surname.

Simply a cover of ”Explorations in Space and Time”, an album by Jamey Haddad, Lenny White & Mark Sherman. A drum and percussion fiest deluxe, captured using binaural microphones, in my opinion a great surround experience in plain stereo.

My nick is from Nine Cats, a song by Porcupine Tree. I have actually had nine cats in total during my childhood, all at different times. Let’s just say that none of them had nine lives (we lived next to a fairly busy road).

I always thought your name came from this, as she does in fact have nine cats in this pic.

Soundboy, until a saw a larger pic of your pooch earlier in this thread, I always thought the little avatar version showed him chillin' on the cool tile floor with a white bar towel draped over his head.

I just figured I'd check out @Spock's Avatar (the actual CD) on Amazon; now I thought I'd seen everything, but this showed up on that page and freaked me out

I was a moderator on Star Wars boards for like ten years. After a while, various Jedi Starfighters became my typical avatar. I still love the ship designs.

How many of us have changed our avatar multiple times since the launch of this Thread?

Snap of me playing my Gibson ES-335. Great guitar.

Maybe having a senior moment as I thought I already responded but just went through all 7 pages and didn't see it.

Taken in the British Virgin Islands about 10 years ago.

The frogs in my avatar are Phyllomedusa bicolor. Giant waxy monkey frogs. The ones in my avatar are babies, I took that picture. This is what adults look like. I got this picture off the internet from reptileforums.uk

I did, just to the current one.

It's a still from the Werner Herzog film "Stroszek."

Thank you

Mine is an autographed photo of Grace Slick that I have ("Happy Everything!" lol). Also a JA fan, obviously.

Really enjoyed reading the old posts on this thread. Frogmort, I'm a big Tolkien fan (and even met Priscilla, his daughter, and her family once). Saw It's A Beautiful Day many times when I lived in the Bay area, both before and after Patti Santos (r.i.p.) . . . and, gasp, I have that Leonard Nimoy album! Fits in well with my Tiki music collection

Was going to count the changed avatars, but lost interest
