Herewith a snap of me in the famed 'horned-helmet' that passes from DH to me and back again, depending on who is winning the current round of "I'm right, I'm invinceable, I'm the boss, I'm the (King/Queen)", etc...

That's no whistle in my hand, but it is sharp (!), so in the spirit of "Talk like a Pirate Day", "have at ye, ye scurvy knave!"

Grak!
I am a sehlat, a “teddy bear with 6 inch fangs”, so I have a picture of me as drawn by my friend Ravyn. I am a Grodean sehlat, related to a Vulcan sehlat the way a Vulcan is related to a human. I am from the planet Grodea and have red rather than green blood. I have been modified genetically to be anthropomorphic; I stand on two legs and have arms with hands so I can do useful things like go back in time to your period and help you fight the Cryst///|\|\\\ OVERRIDE~OVERIDE#371845332(Bite me, Tyvek!)BACK ON TRACK] Crystal people.

This is Steve, my avatar. I wonder if people grow to resemble their avatars over time - like they do their pets. Do you think Steve is good looking? Should I maybe switch to Johnny Depp, too?

I don't look quite like my avatar; I usually wear glasses.

I don't have a good digitized picture of myself. Maybe I'll get one when I ever reach 1000 posts or something

The harp is real, mine, and standing across the room right now. The photo was made by the maker before he delivered the harp to me.

Well it's *not* me (obviously) but the character's name IS Sam.

Oh admit it, it's just cos he's hot.

mines the inside of a generation nickel Bb,
with some strip lighting shining down through the holes.
I'm thinking of changing it to a monkey, though,
to reflect my current situation at work.

Thank you everyone who satisfied my curiosity re avatars, there were some VERY interesting answers. I did not know about Marko's generation whistle I always wondered what that was. I thought it was a Trans-Am wheel. Sorry Marko, now of course I think it a brilliant avatar. Please keep them coming I am really enjoying the replies.

Several people have kindly sent me very cute photos of wombats in baths and curled up in bed but none of them seemed to have quite the gravitas required.

Your avatar is Sam from Benny and Joon played by Johnny! WOO HOO!

LOL! He is hot! Adds a lot to the intense aspect of him . . . especially his eyes.
