Ok, so I finally found an avatar to include with my user name. I have had some comments and questions about it, all nice. It got me to wondering why people picked the avatar they are using and, in some cases, what the avatar represents or who it is. Well, how about it? Let's hear from you.
I'll start.
Have you ever watched the old movie called "Christmas Story?" My avatar is the little boy who is the main character in the movie who narrates the story as an adult, Ralphie. Well, in a scene with his father changing a flat tire, Ralphie says the mother of all cuss words and the result is that his mother washes his mouth out with soap. My avatar picture is Ralphie with the bar of soap in his mouth. The actor who played Ralphie is now a 40-50 year old man today.
The avatar is probably apropos because I did look like Ralphie as a kid, blond tow head, often with a bar of soap in my mouth. Although I have to admit that I did not know the mother of all cuss words at his age.
My avatar made me laugh when I found it so I though maybe other people might think it was funny. The other thought might be that even today sometimes I need my mouth washed out with soap.
