We've done this before, but it's always fun. My current one is a picture of John Ritter from his guest role in an episode of The Cosby Show. Amy Yasbeck(his real life 2nd wife) played his wife in the episode. She goes into labor and he falls apart. My avatar is a picture of him talking to Bill Cosby after his wife threw her stuffed bear out the delivery room door. Bill was like "Get back in there!" and John was like, "She threw the bear!!" It was SO funny! :lol:

I'm a fan on the 2004 movie Thunderbirds and since I like Lady Penelope as well as Scott and think that girls rock out loud, my avatar tells us that either as a marionette or Sophia Myles (who palyed her in the movie), Lady Penelope, like Suzi Quatro, can be a great role model to me

I've already explained the story behind my avatar in two other threads within the last six or so months, but I will explain again....

It's a digital photo of a rose taken right in a friend's front yard garden. He took it with his photography digital camera and entered it at a digital photography contest on this website. I thought it was sooooooo beautiful, so I asked him if I can use it as my avatar. He said "yes," and he asked if I can add his name to credit him. The bad thing about SO is the character limit didn't allow me to enter his whole name, so I just added his initials. :D

Mine's of actress Kirsten Storms. In high school there was a girl named Beth who graduated the year after I did, and she looked like Kirsten (not excatly, though). In short, Beth was a hottie.

She looked like Kirsten does in these two pics.

My avatar is a picture of the late, great, Christian singer Rich Mullins, who died in 1997 in a terrible car crash, on his way to a benefit concert. Along with the death of Keith Green back in 1982, it was probably the biggest tragedy to ever hit the Christian music scene. Mullins had such hit songs as: Sometimes By Step, Hold Me Jesus, Awesome God, and Elijah, along with many others. He is greatly missed by me, and thousands, possibly millions of fans around the world!! R.I.P. Rich!! :(

My avatar is a picture of Andy Gibb when he was 12 years old. I use it because I'm a fan of the Bee Gees (Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb) who were/are his older brothers. I think Andy was a cute-looking kid, so I used that picture.
