I figured since we have a "What do you smell like" thread and a "what does your username mean" thread I'd ask this question.
I'm sure it's been done before but 5 pages in or so I didn't see anything mentioned and search turned up nothing (Except pages of people talking about the Eldar Avatar).
Your Avatar, what does it mean? Why did you choose it? It is something special with hidden meanings or do you like it because it's just cool/funny/strange?
Mine is simply a picture I found a long time ago while trying to find the picture of the little kid soccer hooligan flipping people off. Has nothing to do with sinister brain, other than I'm a big baby with an attitude. Seems to fit.
My avatar is a picture of the Fleshtearers Chapter Master Seth. He picked up Abbadon and hurled him across a battlebarge. He has a plate in his skull. He is one bad dude.

I bet Abby was very butthurt about that. He's never seemd the coolheaded type to me. I'm gonna have to look into this Seth fellow.

Never need a reason to have an anime girl as an avatar!

It's a Girl?!?
As for mine, it's a scenario detailing what will happen to Shadowbrand, MGS, Gwar!, SilverMk2 or any other heretic on this site should I ever catch them.

Ah, the faithful servants of the Emperor have missed your zeal EF. Too long has the heretic been allowed to walk around unchecked...
On a happy note, my avatar is a daguerreotype of the famous Confederate cavalry general JEB Stuart. Imagine that huh?

I no longer have a copy, but they took a picture of me within about 10 minutes of my birth. I had the same expression, same fist and about the same amount of hair. No beach and my eyes were bluer in my pic though.
I chose my current Avatar because we had a few threads about Dakka (finally) reaching 1 million posts.

They appear to be using some form of foil...upgrade!
In the Victorian age monkey knife fights were not the sport of common man. No self respecting simian would be caught dead without the proper fencing gear. Lest he be pelted with feces. Thrown by monkey servants, obviously. None of the gentry would lower themselves to such an act.
My original avatar was a platypus. This one is self-explanatory.
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
Mine is just a small bit of artwork by Patrick Nagel.
A talented artist who died at the age of 38 from a heart-attack. He did several art pieces for Playboy and even has a Duran Duran album cover credit (Rio).
On all boards that let me use it, I use it. It helps with people recognising me.
I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.
I change my avatar a lot, but this time around it's a meme from 4chan's /tg/ (Traditional Games, that means Warhammer, D&D, etc) board. We call him the Gay Purple Man, and he was originally on a banner for a cartoon porn site. Here he is in his original incarnation:
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
From a very disturbing anime. If I remember the part a friend showed me right someone had to rip their fingernails out to get someone to forgive them for not wanting to murder someone.
Anyway, my avatar is just Strike and Impulse carrying a Vindicator with a SM sergeant on the shoulder of a Zaku pointing.
Vindicator was WIP at the time though
Nah like this, I managed to find the clip. The disturbing part starts just after 1 min if you want to watch, but avoid that part.
I don't really like this show either, but it has a good PSP game based off of it thats basically just the Gundam Vs engine but with the characters from this in it, all chibi style.
A focus-group was set up to decide how to mark the site of massive radioactive waste dumps.
How do we warn off future generations/civilisations from these sites when the language/cultures may have changed so much as to be unrecognisable?
My avatar is one of the suggested "Nasty place, move along" landscapes that supposedly any culture will recognise as dangerous.
