I liked him (a lot) no nonsense and an economy of words. I worked in a pharmacy that had a fountain and the short order cook was just like him

Whatever happened to Semper? He was the gormless buffoon that inspired this topic

An 'inspired' topic.......who'd have thunk it?

I have nothing to say on the matter

Just a friendly reminder that without cake, mead is not all it's cracked up to be.

Facing loss of habitat and food sources I root for the long term survival of the Great Hamster of Alsace.

Because i like word jokes though this one probably goes over the head of most people who never did any training. I also like to go in against stereo typing. Plus I do like to workout.

dont give yourself too much credit. it is a basic pun at best, last seen on a cheap tshirt.

Jolly Roger was my road name when I rode with the Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club after returning from the American War in Vietnam.

It was also the name of my three boats over the period 1975/85.

My avatar is the ace of spades with the scull and crossbones. I picked up the original in 1967 in a dry rice paddy during a search and destroy operation. It had been dropped by a

psyops airplane as a terror tactic to unnerve the enemy. On the back it says in Vietnamese ..."You are going to die if you continue to fight for the Viet Cong............Surrender or die"

As a terror tactic it has roots going back to the 1600's and the pirates who pillaged shipping in the major oceans. They would always give their victims an opportunity to surrender

before boarding them by flying the scull and crossbones.

Every time I look at it I am reminded how fortunate I am to be alive, healthy and living here in Chiang Mai.....................................

Amen brother--a couple of biker friends have similar cards on their bikes as well

Live would be better without the Avatar.

Better than Cam Rahn Bay

What a hell hole

Sun was a Killer.

No I was not destroying down there

But I was there

I just was there having a look-see

The water is nice

I tell people that I play guitar...but the truth is out.

"No comment , make me angry and i come hunt you in your sleep !"

Fear The Clown

I tell people that I play guitar...but the truth is out.

"I tell people that I play guitar...but the truth is out." ... but then they hear you play and say you can't*

* apologies rawhod ... I'm sure you are a fine player, just that the line was there.

STOP CLOWNING AROUND

What about those like myself that don't have an avatar,,, should we be banished into the "who gives a xxxx" group?

Are you from Queensland?

If you're not an Aussie, you may not understand...

State of Origin soon ... NSW have lost a number of key players through injury this past week.

If you can remember the Powers Beer 'Big Red' ... I did their main commercial ... many years ago.

Ah ... the days when I was young and thin ...

Did you notice that "The Frog" is playing (say it quietly)...a banjo

So anyway....

Do we gradually assume some of the characteristics that we imagine our avatars possess?

Do we gradually resemble these avatars, as some owners resemble their dogs?

And, do others respond to our comments in ways that are subtly shaped by what they see in the images we choose to represent us?

Maybe someone should start a poll.

great observation. I do actually subconsciously that do look like their avatars. I loathe some because of their pictures and names. somebody who knows hello dolly describes him as morbidly obese yet his picture is the opposite

What did you say?

They described him as morbid?

I can't believe that.

Whatever happened to Semper? He was the gormless buffoon that inspired this topic

He fell victim to Hello Dolly - knew when he was beaten in the triteness stakes.

Just as I was getting comfortable looking like my dog, my dog is starting to look like my avatar.

how could we have overlooked DAVID48. Hmmmm. What do you think that is about? A little boy saying "don't tell"

I only chose this to intimidate those bad Thai types we sometimes critique on here.... because it makes me look like a ghost!

With your delectable avatar, do you seriously expect people to pay any attention whatsoever to anything at all that you have to say? Now please send me a hi-res pic of your avatar.

John Locke (channeling the original philosopher, his avatar?) was a highly-motivated searcher with a passionate, intuitive ability to usually make the wrong choice. Fitting for us expats who've really LOST the plot.

Mines just me doing what I love to do.

Cheers,

Pikey.
