Well, since nobody got around to doing it LAST week, when we were supposed to, this here is now official You As Your Avatar Week!
Get a picture of yourself, make it your avatar from now until next weekend. Let's go for some recent ones so we're not all just using the same ones we used last year. If I'm willing to upload a fresh one and show that my face has gotten even fatter, you should all be willing to as well.
-
But but but I don't wanna get rid of my SUPER RAD avatar
-
This picture is four months old, and not so good, but it will do for now until I get my camera back.
-
From 2 years ago, because I don't have a more recent one. Really, I look pretty much the same, but with different glasses (not that you can see the glasses).
-
Alrighty
-
done
fuccin' a my mustache is completely invisible
-
Okay fine I give in
-
Man you are weak
-
I can manage to not be rad for a week. It'll be tough, but I think I can make it
-
sure, yeah, okay
-
If we must.
-
This would be the first time I've actually changed it since joining. This is like 4 months old.
-
oh fuck i forgot i changed my avatar god i had that gilead picture up for so long.
nevermind. ill do this tomorrow.
-
This would be the first time I've actually changed it since joining.
Same for me. It's so weird every time I load up this page, because I'm used to seeing the cover from "These Are the Vistas."
-
You are what you eat, after all
-
This is an image of my
forehead mind, of which all of my posts, like so many cultured pearls, are an extension.
-
I miss Data in a sombrero :-(
-
I've been my avatar since last time we did this. But I guess my hair is longer now. I'll see what I can do.
-
It's just my facebook picture, but whatever.
Never say I never did nothin' for ya's.
-
Mine has been me since last year's you as your avatar week. Shit.
-
Andy, that's because you are so lazy
-
Its ok Andy, so has mine
-
Done!
-
oh fuck i forgot i changed my avatar god i had that gilead picture up for so long.
Where the hell has he been anyway
-
Quick someone change the subject
-
sure why not
-
This was Friday, where we lost at trivia.
-
I can't decide what picture I want to use. I uploaded one, but then realized that most of my pictures are from Halloween.
-
Me in Carlsbad CA about 2 months ago.
-
okay.
-
Ya sure why not.
-
You asked for it. This photograph is about a year old, and was taken at my fiftieth high school reunion, from a photograph of the "five nerds" of my class. We turned into: a physicist (me), two engineers, a computer scientist, and an orthodontist. Quite a crew, but we really did fit the profile of "nerd" back in those days.
And you will have to put up with it for more than a week, because I am leaving for the land of no internet for a while.
-
man i hate changing my avatar
-
You totally should have done the zombie pic
-
Look at me take on the American Size Coke. Poor little Jens couldn't finish it, his Norwegian heart, mind, and stomach were not capable of such greatness.
-
Oh dear.
-
technically I'm still playing this from last year, but I figure I shall change it...hmmm which one?
-
Oh yeah let's do this.
goodbye nicholas cage
hello me
-
Again?
-
Will do this when I'm home. But I'm changing back to Picard the minute this is over.
-
Look at me take on the American Size Coke. Poor little Jens couldn't finish it, his Norwegian heart, mind, and stomach were not capable of such greatness.
I cannot take on an American size coke, and I am from America. Who needs that much soda??
-
You totally should have done the zombie pic
I am freaking sick of that zombie pic, plus it is two years old
-
I meant this one
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3297/3541082115_9c98744413.jpg)
I think it's better than the one you have anyway
-
When I get home. I promise!
-
hi! man i don't even post why do i do this.
-
Tommy that Electrons hat and green t-shirt makes you look like a Mario brother, but unwilling to settle between choosing either one.
-
There.
-
Mario and Luigi were fake Italians, right?
I probably would have turned into the fakest Italian of all had my mother not been dissuaded from naming me Luigi.
-
No fun is allowed in here!
-
5:35 in the AM, but I keep it real for you.
It's either this one, or this:
(http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/7/l_bf4f867d8d3b4d62903f24a20836556b.jpg)
I've shaved, but I love the thing on my face, haha.
-
I'll join this ... I needed a new pic anyway.
Me. With christmas cracker hats on.
-
RAH
I am kind of squashed.
-
Yeah alright.
-
Now that is one cute picture.
-
This is good time celebration we are to be having.
-
Well, okay.
-
You asked for it.
All y'all are lucky I don't post often.
-
I'll get a real picture tomorrow. But for now settle on me dressed up in my Halloween costume.
-
What a hideous costume.
>.>
This one is temporary until I make one sillier.
-
webcam image until I have time to put another one down. I have patchy, terrible facial growth again. 2 months into my decision to not shave or cut my hair for a year.
-
I am on a seesaw with my good friend Katie!
-
I'm already my avatar.
-
When I wake up...
-
Here is a scene from my college TV show.
As my avatar.
I am in the sunglasses.
-
okay i now have a picture of me at ft reno looking a little too hip or something.
yeah!
-
I have to get home first but then I'm making an avatar.
Yeah.
-
Okay.
Flying a Kite from sitting.
-
It's little worrisome how few pictures of me I can find where I'm not sloppy-drunk.
-
If they ever make a SGR film, the part of Carrot it yours for the taking.
Hahaha thanks, that pic is quite old though, my hair is longer now so go figure how my afro looks now...
-
i'm in.
-
Here's my slightly squashed face to make this avatar a square.
Heya.
-
I've noticed a few people who seem to be kind of complaining about doing this. For the record, this isn't exactly obligatory. If you don't want to go to the effort of changing your avatar/showing people what you look like, then don't. Nobody's twisting your arms, it's just a fun little distraction.
-
There we go.
-
Who has a b'loony hat? I have a b'loony hat ^^
I've actually been waiting this for some time since I just missed it last year.
-
This is the most recent photo I have of myself. I look kind of fat.
-
I missed last year's, and am glad to have been given another opportunity to partake in this year's event.
Words cannot adequately... Oh what the fuck, here's me as my avatar.
-
This is the most recent photo I have of myself. I look kind of fat.
I look fat in my picture as well.
There's a good reason for that though.
-
This is oldish, I have changed my hair twice, but it's all shiny lookin' so I'm using it.
-
I am so ahead of this trend
-
If my avatar is not showing a picture of me, just refresh your screen and see it change!
-
Dog.
Horse.
Dog.
Cup.
Young Paul.
Younger Paul.
There you are!
-
That's pretty neat I guess.
Note: Nobody likes a show off.
-
Even better, it's trivial, using a built-in feature of Apache:
RewriteMap AviFile rnd:C:/WebPages/cassland.org/html/images/Avatars/AviList.txt
RewriteRule /images/QCavi.jpg /images/Avatars/${AviFile:QClist}.jpg
-
yowza
-
This is the same av I use everywhere, and I can't find any other decent pics of myself, so it counts, right?
-
Sorry, this one is old. I might have time to make an avatar with a new picture, but honestly I'm not sure how I can improve on this one.
-
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/jhocking/jnom.gif)
You should use this one
-
oh shit you're right, I'll make that into an avatar later
ADDITION: There! Wish I could get the filesize down even more though; I already cut out half the frames and the movement is starting to look a little choppy.
-
That's a bit like Jeph's avi, but with added horror.
-

Eh, I just suck at enthusiasm; it's a silly thing to be genuinely annoyed with.
-
?????????????????????????
-
oh dang. i need to unsquish myself.
-
Which one are you dogg
-
the big one.
-
I am so ahead of this trend
This.
I think I'lll use a different one though.
-
OK I DID IT I hope you're proud of yourselves
-
Bahaha, Joe is silly.
-
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/jhocking/jnom.gif)
You should use this one
It's the look in the eyes the split second before he lunges forward that really helps to push it that extra bit further.
-
I'm a bit late at that, but nobody cares, okay? You just don't.
-
This is basically what I am looking like these days; tired.
I hope my avatar is making you all yawn, it kept making me do so when I was resizing it in photoshop.
-
Oh yes i am definitely getting in on this. Yes I am wearing silly sunglasses. No I do not care.
-
I took that photo! It was a lucky break, really, all I did was reach around with my camera from the back seat, et voila! Perfect!
-
I hope my avatar is making you all yawn, it kept making me do so when I was resizing it in photoshop.
Damn you!
-
Obviously you guys all bore me to tears.
-
And you all make me... thirsty?
-
makes sense
-
You guys just make my face fatter and fatter. Because you depress me and when I get sad, I eat like crazy.
-
Me I just get excited about everything
-
goodbye, captain pike with added facial hair
hello, me
I wish I had a picture where the cuts on my arm were worse, I really think of myself as constantly wounded in some way.
-
I wasn't looking at the camera! And I'm all red! But it is technically the most recent photo of me.
-
I am so ahead of this trend
Yo, I'm calling laziness. :D Lovely picture, but it's been there for as long as I remember.
-
Here is a silly face for you. I hope it makes you blow raspberries.
Also, damn you Hannah, your avatar made me yawn and I'm not even tired.
-
Hi! This is my most recent photo. I have been playing with my hair again, you see..
-
I wish I had a picture where the cuts on my arm were worse, I really think of myself as constantly wounded in some way.
That sort of thing makes you sound like your dream job would be drifting around in the Paris sewers while wearing a swishy cape and weeping.
-
I'd be more surprised if it wasn't, I think.
-
I like participating.
-
I wish I had a picture where the cuts on my arm were worse, I really think of myself as constantly wounded in some way.

No no you see I am constantly scraped, burnt, or cut on my arms.
Also Paris is pretty smelly.
-
you guys make me wear silly hats and sunglasses indoors?
-
Is that the scribblenauts hat?
-
That it is
-
so much better.
look at those lips.
-
TOGA!
TOGA!
TOGA!
TOGA!
-
FUR TOGA FUR TOGA FUR TOGA
-
OH SHI-
-
Dovey I deleted my facebook account but I think that means I just can't access it so if you can still look at photos of me can you find the best one of me?
Failing that does anyone have any photos of me that would be good for this?
I want in on this and this is a good transition week to get back onto Bearded Data
-
Nah dude your account is completely gone which sucks because it even deleted all of the pithy comments you made on my page :( :( :(
-
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3418/3303163254_289c63949d.jpg)
Goddamnit I guess I can use this photo from my visit to Sydney except:
1) I kind of look like a douche
2) I think that is Ali's butt in the background and it is "You as your avatar week" not "you and Ali's butt as your avatar week"
-
You should use this one
Everytime i see that i want to press my dick against my monitor.
-
man what I do care this is a dope ass photo of me I ain't frontin
-
Hey Brett
http://yfrog.com/13brettyj
Also no that lady was a stranger
edits: I am le slow
-
oh my goodness that is a much better photo of me
gonna keep this one til I think of a good caption for the new one though.
-
also idea for next you as your avatar week:
"you with custom sharpie knuckle tattoos as your avatar week"
-
second
-
wait for the next one?
fucc that
-
I <3 fake knuck tattoos & I fully endorse that idea. I do it all the time to send little messages to friends over t'interwebs. Here is the only example I can find:
(http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v3342/49/0/1549424280/n1549424280_30080984_5535274.jpg)
(They are not very well done, as I was somewhat drunk at the time, G&T does not a steady hand make.)
-
Me. Duct-taped to a postbox. Long story.
(http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/7717/79181206068279124145117e.jpg)
-
If it's not gray it's not real duct tape.
-
Real duct tape is duck tape.
2) I think that is Ali's butt in the background and it is "You as your avatar week" not "you and Ali's butt as your avatar week"
but ali's butt makes a great avatar!
-
So it turns out it is really hard to give yourself good knuckle tattoos and then even harder to get a photo of them with nobody elses help that will look good at 100x100but everyone just maybe think about something they'd like someone to draw on their knuckles with a sharpie and then get a photo because maybe, just maybe that will be another avatar theme week in a month or so.

SNES ROMS is already taken by the way
-
It could almost be a game worthy of a thread...Coming up with 8 letter combinations...I know I guy who has the word "Rhapsody" on his knucks. This starts off as ok until you realise when seperate he has the words RHAP with the H & SODY (say it out loud....) on the other. Not cool. Funny. But not cool.
Snes Roms does not have this problem.
-
Saying it out loud does not help me understand what happened...
I would play this game, but my digital camera is in the store.
-
Would it be acceptable to have a six-letter word, and then draw skulls or something on your pinkies?
-
I would accept it, but others might not be so open-minded.
-
What if you wrote something like "Im so cool" and it's read by making the Vulcan hand sign with one hand and a fist with the other?
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/jhocking/cool.jpg)
Or "Im a tool" read by making a West-side gang sign with one hand and a fist with the other?
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/jhocking/tool.jpg)
-
Saying it out loud does not help me understand what happened...
Coming from the secong half of Rhapsody it would be siad more like "Soddy", as in like a sod. It sounds & looks stupid as two seperate words. Two 3 letter words with some form of punctuation is preferable to one 8 letter word that makes no sense in two parts. That is my opinion.
-
I think both of those are really saying the same thing, don't you?
-
Joe Hocking.
I don't know if we can be friends any more. Or maybe we should hang out more.
CONFUSED.
-
Joe Hocking you are amazing for an old man
Also I'd just like to make sure people know that you only really need to come up with one four letter word and then put "LIFE" on the end of it for a totally sick knuckle tatt
PUNK LIFE
GEEK LIFE
BASS LIFE
just puttin' that out there
Also I basically repped DAFT PUNK knuckle tattoos every night at work for about a month when I was working at a uni bar and it didn't matter what I looked like.
-
One more!
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/jhocking/skool.jpg)
ADDITION:
This is too much fun
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/jhocking/butt.jpg)
Also, here's the template:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/jhocking/template.jpg
-
Once again I just don't know what to think. Part of me wants to give you a high five, the other part wants to perform a facepalm maneuver. I think you are just at that age where you are still maybe young enough to be cool and then maybe too old to try.
I am leaning towards a high five though.
o/
-
You've got two hands, you can do both!
-
What would a facepalm be like, though? o\ ?
o\
o/
/o/
That last one is like an ashamed high five. You are facepalming and just forlornly holding your other hand up behind your head. This is my new favorite thing.
-
the last one is a double jumping high five duuuhhhhhhhhhh
-
facepalm:
p
facepalm high-five:
p/
EDIT: No wait tommy said that's a pedantic five.
-
First time I've changed it since last December. First time I've shown my face in an avatar!
-
the last one is a double jumping high five duuuhhhhhhhhhh
No no no that is this: \o/
Also Joe I like mine better. Stop trying to be hip like all the young kids, Old Man Hocking.
-
Ahh it's straight on instead of to the side like I thought.
My knuckle tats are gonna be "TUFF ENUF", which I am but only just.
-
Avatar officially changed. Hello internet and
all who inhabit it you guys!
-
My knuckle tats are gonna be "TUFF ENUF", which I am but only just.
holy shit I hope you don't mind if I steal this for REAL LIFE
-
I know I'm late but anyways.. here.
-
So it turns out it is really hard to give yourself good knuckle tattoos and then even harder to get a photo of them with nobody elses help
Mother fucker, and I am drunk.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/0bsessions/My%20Pictures/P9300009.jpg)
Though I did have to contend with not realizing I was writing the first word on the wrong hand, I was able to resolve the situation.
-
Oh hey, sheeple.
-
REAL LIFE
new knuckle tats.
-
Jon shrink those tatts down to avatar size and you'll see what I mean
or maybe you won't cause you drunk, holmes
also do you expect me of all people to believe being drunk is any kind of impediment jeez.
-
I can't wait until this week is over I am just turning myself on too much
-
I have had two straight weeks of some dude just being all
"WHAT"
and I think it's starting to affect the way I post because not only am I stylin' on people more but also I am actually using the word "stylin'" to describe the phenomenon which I have never done before (thank you Johnny C)
-
If we must.
You look eerily like one of roommate's good friends. Only difference is your hair is shorter and not curly. And the piercing. But the whole face is pretty much copy pasted from him (or his from you, if you're older :D)
-
If we must.
Alex, I keep thinking that you look a bit like brendan fraser.
(http://fusedfilm.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/brendan_narrowweb__300x3810.jpg)(http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=6108;type=avatar)
-
Jonathan change your goddamn avatar.
And Alex I think it's just the floppy hair that does it, don't worry.
-
Jonathan change your goddamn avatar.
Gonna guess you are talking to me here and that I am in trouble since you used my real name. Don't worry I changed it.
-
hat i think people are mad cuz you stylin' on them (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNRA4_JhO4A)
Every time I watch a rap battle I expect this to happen and it never does so I feel pretty good that it happened here (cause that guy sucked anyway)
-
I've been told about the Brendan Fraser thing before. It's not so bad.
-
I have a confession to make.
All previous examples of photo evidence were lies. I am the real Toothpig. And I laugh at youuuu.
-
I'm a bit late
-

bitch you ugly
-
When I think about how much I have changed since my avatar is it I am amazed.
Guys, has this been my avatar for so long that if I change it people will be confused? Like when Linds did the unicorn?
-
You could use a more recent picture of you. I don't think people would be confused.
-
I probably wouldn't notice. I've always hated that avatar and try to avoid looking at it, to be honest. Hurts my eyes.
-
It is pretty busy.
-
Change it one frame at a time to ease us in. Like, just swap out one of those pictures with a more recent one, and then a couple days later do it again. Eventually you'll have swapped out all the images with more recent ones.
-
I confused people with my lack of unicorn? I just know it confused a lot of people, including me, when someone used a different version of it.
-
That was probably the best avatar. I saw that album at a flea market and deciding not to buy it is what drives me to drinkin'.
-
Also, Jon (Cerny) needs to get his awesome avatar back. He knows the one I mean.
Yeah, I'm bringing Heino back once Sunday rolls around. Don't you worry now.
-
I kind of want to do what pwhodges avatar does and create something that randomly sorts my avatar using every avatar I've had so far.
-
I've been my avatar for I don't know how long.
-
Hey Joe Hocking, is one of your front teeth out of alignment?
You should look into adult braces.
-
Crooked teeth give a face character, man. Otherwise Jho would be perfect I am sure.
(Please don't get out the highschool picture of me again)
-
I kind of want to do what pwhodges avatar does and create something that randomly sorts my avatar using every avatar I've had so far.
That would be pretty awesome
-
Hey Joe Hocking, is one of your front teeth out of alignment?
You should look into adult braces.
Yeah, it's crooked. And I've had braces, and the dentist even removed some teeth in order to make room for the rest to spread out evenly. You should have seen how screwed up my teeth were before the braces; I had one tooth actually coming out sideways. My sister used to stick her finger under her lip to make fun of me.
Plus I'm not sure I even could get braces right now even if I wanted them (and said sister is now an orthodontist, so I could probably get them cheap.) Because of TMJ problems I can't open my mouth wider than about two finger widths, and I'm not sure if it'll ever go back to normal. My cocksucking days are over, lemme tell you.
-
I AM DONE WITH THIS
-
... whoops. I should come here more often.
-
and the week is over.
-
That was fun
-
It sure was.
-
I'm locking this thread because I love the idea of someone reading the last page and seeing "It sure was", and getting the impression that everyone had just had some kind of magical adventure or some amazing sexual experience or perhaps some combination of the two or something. If it was possible I'd also prevent people from being able to open the previous pages of this thread.
Except now I've posted this it's kind of messed up the lovely elegance of that satisfied sigh of a post that would make such a perfect last post to this or any other thread. Hmm. Maybe I'll delete this post after a day or so.
-
It really, really was.
