How did you pick your Avatar?

One of my dogs...being bad!

Mine is an actual photo of me after hearing about the new speed limit.

Calvin is (was?) one of my favorite fictional characters, and it seemed to be lake related even though I don't fish.

I have a large collection of various avatars, I thought this one had a good sense of geeky humor.

This is the view from our deck as the Mount passed by (same view as the webcam that is still down, thank you very much Fairpoint... but I digress). We turned the pic into a label for a batch of homebrews we made with Misty Blue and friends, and then used it for my avatar!

I do change my avatar from time to time; but the current one is a view from the dock of our very old cottage on the Lake, and we love it!

Regarding my Title claim, I would love to see challenges, as long as your family owned the original cottage. I am such a snob.

I'll start a new thread for this question.

After sighting my first bald eagle back in 2001, I first used the bald eagle as my avatar. Since then, I've adopted the "fouled anchor", which symbolizes the US Navy family I'm a part of—plus the years of USNR "Bosun's Mate" training I received.

Upon learning of my pre-Medical background, the Navy then placed me into Electronic Warfare.

I'm working on a better claim, but I think you've got everyone beat.

BTW: I'd like to see this forum adopt a feature "imposed" by another lakes region forum. Each member gets this image until they change it to something else.

Mine is a photo of our boat (not much imagination there!)

I picked mine because no one else had adopted it yet.

It's rather appropriate for me; here I am on the web!

The next thing that Letterman says that's funny will be the first but Triumph is hilarious.

195 years and going strong! Built in 1814 and passed down on my Mom's side.

I started a new thread in the history category and pay homage to the new leader. All hail mneck1814.

Mine was my first boat named Seeker (a 69 Bertram 31) - how original. There's been about 7 more since then but I still miss her.
