I must say that I was slightly disappointed to find out that karaidl's avatar wasn't avtually a picture of him, but instead was of a rather unsuccessful Ultimate Fighter back in the day. Got me thinking though, what are the stories behind other's avatars. Or even yet, what are everyone's favorite avatars here on the sift (try not to just say your own). My favorite is mlx's, the opera glasses are too cool. This is meant to just be a friendly little thread if anyone else wants to weigh in.
