It *is* funny! :D I like it!

I've had this avatar since 2005, and never had any other. I don't remember how the idea came exactly, but I remember telling another member that I wanted a wink in my avatar, and the member made 2 or 3 suggestions but this one was the one I had in mind from the start, and it turned out to be the best animated version from the suggestions. :)

I picked my avatar back in August when I wanted an avatar to replace my previous avatar. I happened to be watching the last episode of the '60s anime, and came to this screenshot with Atom. I really liked Atom's expression on the screenshot, so I paused the video, saved the image on my computer, and made an avatar out of it.

This is only the second avatar I've had since joining. I don't plan on replacing this one. :)

I picked mine because I'm a guitarist and finding a picture with Atom playing guitar, it just seemed right (and awesome!). Editing the picture was real pain, though.

I'm glad the member didn't blew it. :D

Mine is taken from a scene in 'Save The Carolina 3' where Astro gets illuminated by a bunch of detonating missiles which he ignited with his index lasers a few seconds before.
I thought it looks pretty cool, so I made a GIF out of it. :)

Mine is just Kid Goku on the nimbus cloud. Why? Because it's awesome.

My avatar is Novacain from the episode "Elixir of Life". I doubt I'll ever change it.
