So what Avatar are you using and why?


For now I've got a picture of a Lightning I took few years ago and incorporated Charger into it.

Current avatar: The Dude from "The Big Lebowski"

The why about it: The Dude abides. To abide is to yield without breaking, to endure without becoming bitter. It's understanding that there are bastards out there that have to be avoided, but that when they have their way, the one who abides does not let the bastards bring them down. The one who abides survives to fight another day... or maybe convinces the other guy to turn things around and come on over to his side.

Me on top of Orkelhøa, by a varde, a pile of stones to mark a border or a road in ancient times, watching out over the mountains.
Orkelhøa is supposed to be the upper right point in a baphomet pentagram, "sacred geometry" like the ones Henry Licoln supposedly found in southern France. The other points are Sandsø (left upper point)(the island where the first christian viking kings, missionaries and munks came ashore, bringing Celtic christianity with them), Bergen (left point) (one of the first bishopric), Blikafjell (down point) (a random mountain, it seems, but religion and mountains..? :think:) and Hamar (right point) (also one of the first bishopric, though without there being any population there  :-\). Smack in the middle is Filefjell, with St. Thomas' Church, a 12th century stone church on top of a mountain ???. From that point you can use the golden ratio to draw lines to Trondheim and Tønsberg, Norways two oldest cities, and Sandsø on the Pharoe Islands (Sandø) and the Orkneys (Sanday), creating a rhombus.
Not that i believe in that crap, but it's fun.  :) :))
And living half an hour drive and 1-2 hours hiking (upwards) away, why not?  ;) :P  :))

Aleister Crowley - someone who I have been studying since I was 12 years old and first read The Book Of The Law.
In my opinion he was in his later years one of the most self aware human beings to have lived.

I wanted to keep my username from the other joint but obviously this place isn't dedicated to that one particular band so decided on a similar name(or play on words if you will) so folk would know who I am. As for my avatar, again I wanted an Ozzy avatar like the other place without being the same. So Ozzy in a tutu looking stoned out of his mind just suited.

He's such a happy little princess in that costume, isn't he! Adorable! :)

This gargoyle sits outside a door to my home.  One of several placed in various locations.

Nice to see you brought the "old Typh" along. Really good to see you back in biz...  :partay: :batdance:

It's a record.

Thanx for clearing that up. Been wondering for days now...

I took my username from the name of the first band I saw live.

Nutz supported the Heavy Metal Kids in my hometown in 1975. I had not long left school at this point.

My avatar is a scan of a picture cover from one of their singles. If you haven't heard Nutz before watch this.

^ Once the singer started, the band sounded a LOT like The Sweet. Fun song, I'd like to look into them some more. Thanks!

I pulled my old topic from another forum. Let's talk about our avatars.

First avatar was this, an 8bit rendition of myself:
(https://www.black-sabbath.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=172&d=1285209903)

Now it's Anthrax's Fistful Of Metal.

Actually, 8bit originally started it at the other place way back in 2008  :whistling:

Anyhoo! I reverted back to the tried & true. Love the red and the silhouette of the cross that takes up his face, looks kinda sinister. I have a print of this avatar that I purchased from the Ozzy store once upon a time and was intending to get it signed by Ozzy when I met him but ended up getting my original Blizzard album signed intstead.

This is me ready for a Halloween party. And yes that is MY hair, which is brown but my goatee is gray so I used a little "Just for Men" on it.

I'd have to use "Just for a LOT of Men" to get all my gray!

I don't see this causing our Billy to change his current stance, vis-a-vis daily wear.

If you want to do "young Ozzy", you'll need to dye your hair.

If you want to do "old Ozzy", you'll need to practice shouting "SHARON!" every few minutes.
