Oh yeah, I think I used his cigarettes as an avatar for a short while.
And I believe some us know how this one was inspired.
I smoked those cigarettes in college. As well as British ovals and some coffin nails. Enough tar and nicotine to get you high. Legally.

I took up chewing tobacco in college. Started with Skoal dip and then Red Man plug and loose leaf chew/ It was not uncommon to find me studying in the lounge and occasionally (but very discretely) expectorating into a styrofoam coffee cup making it appear as if I was sipping coffee when I was actually spattin out terbacky juice.
When I was in high school I smoked pipes (Borkum riff, Amphora, and Captain Black commercial blends) and later various high end house blends that I would buy in expensive tobacconists shops in Manhattan) and also ceegars When it came to ceegars I usually smoked Garcia Vega "Panatella". or Italian stogies.

I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
Used to love Garcia y Vega. Even had a cuban cigar once. Nothing else compares. During the Christmas season, I'd smoke cherry blend Panatella slims. Most of the time it was Winston's in the winter, Benson & Hedges in the summer (this would keep me from getting jaded on one brand). For a few years it was Dunhills but my favorite was Rothman's from England. Not the Canadian stuff. Of course I fell in love with the only cigarette you couldn't get in the Western Hemisphere...

My old avatar was just a picture of me in some breathing apparatus.
My current avatar is a close up of my eye.
I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.
That's a bit dated now. My avatar currently in use is a glass of beer I enjoyed one pleasant afternoon in Madrid.My old avatar was just a picture of me in some breathing apparatus.

Not much of a story with this one. I saw a book cover that I liked, I adjusted the red, cropped, filled, added my call and state and voila, avatar.
The M83 avatar (just before it) was from the group of the same name. The picture was from a outdoor concert at night in New York's Central Park.
The "Don't Teabag Me" avatar was meant to be the exact opposite of what the Tea "Party" stands for. Opposite colors, opposite facing snake, opposite sentiment.

I tend to change them often enough. Thanks to Warren who gave me my first avatar, the New Haven Comet shield.

This thread prompted me to try a new avatar (that I am using on various forums). It is a macro shot of a bank of LEDs and Push Buttons when I built one of these
I have always liked the look of electronics under the hood.. they always reminded me of little cities with roads. Even when I was a kid.

I'm still saving up my money to purchase an avatar.
ill trade you mind for an HF rig.

I don't change mine very often. Mine displays my attitude of late. To quote a line from Richard Pryor's last line from his often over looked film Which Way is Up?: "If you don't like that, you better shoot me in the ass right now, cause that's that last thing you're ever gonna see of me.......mutha fucka....."
One of my previous avatars:
I don't change mine often because of my extreme laziness.
