Now, there are some really nice avatars.
And I am sure there is an interesting story behind every one of them.

Let's start with mine:

I like cats.

Damn........These Fricking kitties are SO damn cute. When my daughters cat gets up on the desk she DEMANDS so much attention that my keyboard has like fur-astroturf on it!! My cat adopted us and she is more like me. Whatever, whenever, just dont forget me!!

Avatar!! I am obviously a SP fan. UNLIKE JackF I dont think that the scripts have gone downhill I think they have evolved!! My most recent pic is me doing my part time job in the restaurant business as a server. I worked for this guy/restaurant for 13 years before the corporate version declared bankruptcy 6 month ago and it was most recently reopened under private ownership. Strangely..........we dont server burgers though. I just couldnt find any good steak pics!!

My current one is from an episode of a show called Upright Citizens Brigade, and it's the end segment of their Spaghetti Jesus episode. Basically, there's kind of a religion trade show where you can 'shop' for whatever belief system you'd like to follow.

One of the attractions is the famous 'Spaghetti Jesus' which is apparently the likeness of Jesus in a bowl of spaghetti. This is a total send-up of the stupidity behind things like seeing the Virgin Mary in a grilled cheese sandwhich, but UCB takes it across the line as usual. Eventually, the Jesus is stolen and eaten, and then the culprit is forced to regurgitate it to produce the 'Vomit Jesus'. Horribly, the Vomit Jesus is also stolen and eaten as well, but this time it can only be returned in the form of the 'Fecal Jesus'. But that too is stolen before it can be presented to the crowd, and a man claiming to be Jesus ends up with it on his face as his beard.

When 'Jesus' goes to kiss the MC he smears poo all over the guy, at that point it cuts to the crowd - and there stands a disgustipated Jesus appalled by the disgusting antics performed in his name.

It's kind of how I picture Jesus when he's informed of stuff like the Church starting wars and committing murders in His name, the decadence of the Vatican, the Inquisition... oh, and the boyfucking, don't forget the boyfucking...

Cheapy, if it helps, UCB has Amy Poehler in it and she's just as awesome as ever...  ;D

Be sure to watch Season 1 first, this episode's in Season 2...

It's loading as I type. I read the Wiki on the comedy troup so I got alittle background on them. Cant wait. Guess where Ive been the last couple of hours? The hubby coughed so hard that he blew a couple of blood vessels in his eye so we went over to the hosipital. Alls good now, well as long as I dont look at him in the face.

Yikes! Glad to hear he's okay...  :-[

Hey, didja know that at a quick glance your avatar makes it look like you're flippin' the bird?

And UCB is pretty unusual, so be prepared...

Mine is another one of Jamie Hewlett's impressions of the great sage "Monkey" equal of Heaven.  I grew up on the original Japanese show (dubbed) and even own the complete series now I am older.  No mystery why I'd want Jamie Hewlett's artwork as an avatar - he is most definitely, awesome!
