What's With Your Avatar?

So this is an idea for a thread I had. It seems most of you have interesting-looking avatars. Care to explain the story behind them? What they are? I have a feeling there might be some good ones.
Discuss.
Mine's obviously Haruhi Suzumiya but I'm thinking about changing it. I'll get around to it later maybe.

I made a blog about mine once.

Long story short I stole it from a metaphor.

My avatar is a product of OANST's fucked up mind and a bastardization of two worlDs, which a member kindly and skillfully knocked up. I forgot, unfortunately, who that was but it was a newcomer who did it.

But it represents gay, inter-racial love and could be used to spearhead the gaylovebetweendifferentracesisokay movement.

The logo from Dick & Dom In Da Bungalow. A children's TV show that was on when I was a kid. It used to be my favourite thing ever, making me look forward to the weekends.

If you were the right age and live in Britain, you might know it. Kids today don't know what there missing.

YOU WERE WRONG

Mine is a meme that somehow found its way into OWF one fateful day and it had infected everything on the forum. Everything. I'm sure MM could fill you in better on what happened.

I went inactive like right after the whole ordeal had finished and when I logged on again roughly 2 years later my avatar was one of the first things that was pointed out and I've just been way too fucking lazy to go find a better one.

Yeah, I've seen it before somewhere. I don't know where.
Was there a guy called Dripik with the same avatar a while ago or something?
I dunno.

It's a fucking meme so it could have literally been anywhere. T-nex has the eyes and mouth pasted over her face as well.

My avatar presents a plane, because I like planes.

Mine was just one of the default options when I signed up, and I always liked the rock art paintings. I've only ever changed it (temporarily) three times; when a whole bunch of mods impersonated Alcar, when the MLP craze was going around and I converted my shrieking Elum in to a shrieking pony, and when I set it to the same avatar, but as a GIF that flipped occassionally.

I think I specifically made my avatar for this forum. Because I wanted something Oddworld without just using a meme.

I think I had a pony before that. I had a pony avatar before pony avatars were cool.

My avatar is a Live Ammo that was cut from Stranger's Wrath quite early on. I don't know what it did. It's mostly called 'porcupine' in filenames, but I did find a single reference to it being called a Pokeypine.
