So... what's the story behind your avatar? Why did you choose your current or past ones?

| I just got a new one on Friday....yay! ZZ helped me size it. It's my little boy playing with a plastic sword. I chose him because everything I do revolves around him. 
Handsome, ain't he?  | |

| Mine is Mae West.
As my on-line personality evolved I felt this avatar suited it.
As my marriage to my fake lesbian love interest Go? approaches I'm thinking a picture of Marlene Dietrich might be more appropriate however!

| Well, there were only a handful to choose from when I joined up. This one didn't appear to be being used by anyone at the time.

| I used to watch the Disney "Zorro" series religiously when I was young. Guy Williams is probably more responsible than anyone or anything else for my interest in (read "addiction to") fencing. I figured that paying him homage by selecting him as my avatar was the least I could do.

As for myself, there's not much to explain is there?
