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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candypants Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 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.

jollyrog Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 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..................................... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldChinaHam Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 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.

JohnLocke Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 John Locke (channeling the original philosopher, his avatar?) was a highly-motivated searcher with a passionate, intuitive ability to usually make the wrong choice.
