    I see a lot of different avatars. When I was searching for a picture from my computer, I ran across a picture of a tofu sanwich on whole wheat with provolone chees and tomato. I was telling a friend about a new market I found and that I was making tofu to which she replied "yuck". I sent her the picture and she said "wow, looks good" and afterwards she loved the market (and yes tried tofu),

    Is there a story to your avatar?

    I chose mine because my daughter and I like the video games in the Dead or Alive /Ninja Gaiden franchise. I like that the ninja Kasumi (my avatar) is finally being included in the most recent Ninja Gaiden game.
    Kasumi looks cute but can beat the hell out of men three times her size.

    I chose mine because sloths are the best animal in existence. I'm considering changing mine to Smitty Werbenjagermanjenson but I don't know...sloths or Smitty? That's a tough one.

    You know, I have no idea. Ever since I've found this picture I can't really stop laughing whenever I look at it. I don't understand where it came from. I don't know why she's got so much spaghetti in her mouth. Her deer-in-the-headlights expression looks like she was stealing someone's spaghetti and got caught.

    I picked a picture of me as my avatar because I have always done since to show I am a real person, I started doing it when promoting my blogs and have just carried it into other areas online.

    My avatar is a picture of one of my favorite TV characters on Leverage. My username is my other favorite on the same show.

    I chose mine because I love cats. I have always owned at least one. I currently own two of them. I am a big time animal lover. I have two dogs in addition to my cats. Surprisingly, they all get along fine together.

    My avatar shows actor Charlie Hunnam. Obviously, I like the guy. He is an amazing actor. I first saw him in Sons of Anarchy, his most popular work to date.

    I chose mine because in spite of multiple attempts I couldn't upload a custom avatar. So, I got annoyed and chose one that seemed appropriately ridiculous. :D

    Mine is me standing at the top of one of my favourite spots in Brighton hills near where I live. It overlooks the sea in one direction and vast countryside in the other.

    Not sure, I figured why not add a picture of myself as my avatar. I notice that normally people will post a nature picture, a celebrity, or animals etc. I didn't feel like searching the internet for something to use. Guess that would be me lazy. I don't know about other people out there, but I like it when people actually upload a photo of themselves to share as their avatar more. So, I guess since I like it. I figured maybe others will? And appreciate that I shared mine. I don't know..I suppose some just choose to share different avatars for different reasons.

    I picked a picture because it was cute! The picture is a picture of my cat. He is very odd, and I never know what he is going to be doing. One day I walked by, and I saw him just sitting there. What a goofball!

    Because it's completely original, personal to myself, and it provokes curiosity ;)

    Because it's pretty much me. Staring at a computer screen at the night being my only light source, with a cup of coffee in one hand and the mouse on the other.
