What's behind your avatar?
Forgive me if this has been done in the past in Sift-Talk, but I haven't found a way to search it, so on we go.
In quick memory of blankfist's recent post on your user names, what is the meaning or origin of your avatar!?
There are a ton of you that I've been curious about since day one. And if anyone can guess mine, I'll give you a cookie for sure... perhaps in the form of a bunch of UV's.

Find out about my dude here.
excerpt from my profile, here:
The avatar pic is my only tattoo. I got it done while I was in the USAF. It's an icon of a sword, from the 1981 animated classic, 'Heavy Metal'.
Only, since she was a chick, and had it on the left side of her neck, pointing down... And I'm a dude... I had it done on the right side, pointing up...
Yes, it's symbolic on every level you're thinking of right now. Cool, eh?
Mine's Daffy Duck, because I like him more than Bugs Bunny. He looks all weird because this is from Duck Amuck, http://www.videosift.com/video/Duck-Amuck-The-Second-Greatest-Cartoon-of-All-Time, which is a cartoon I have the highest respect for. It should have been the Greatest Cartoon of All Time.
I put this on my profile page: The avatar is a picture of a Cthulhu cupcake, one of many baked and photographed by a friend, and photoshopped into solitary splendor by another friend. Given that it was a Cthulhu cupcake, I couldn't resist having it say "bite me," but I'm not really cantankerous, just irresistibly drawn to a quip.
The Sun. From some science article or another.
Mine's Kubrick, because... well... it's Kubrick.
I started sifting when a lot of Simpson's clips were flying around the sift, so I guess I had Groening on the brain. I'm trying to find something new to switch to once I get my 100.
Right now mine is photo I took of a cannon from my old battery firing.I'm an idiot. My avatar is me snorkeling in the reefs of Okinawa, Japan.it's me, my son took the picture.
Mine's J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, of course! Bob's iconic face came immediately to mind while I was setting up my profile here (beamed there by orbiting UFOs, naturally). After all, watching online videos must be one of the world's most slack-intensive activities.
It's a standard Bob face to which I added the halo of the "all seeing eye" from back of the US 1$ note.
"Guaranteed Salvation -- Or double your money back!"
it's my cat. Berlioz.
This handsome face is none other then Gorgon Heap. The worlds greatest eater. Just before he eats the worlds greatest chef.
Stolen. I've always made my own avatars.
