4chan ftw

also, if you think my avatar is cheesy, go watch tron and suddenly get why I chose this as my avatar.

Insane Guest 02-11-2011 03:00 PM

Too cheesy 3/10

s_k 02-11-2011 05:28 PM

****ing awesome!

^I get what you're doing, so cred for consistency! However, that av is small and dark, so you only get a 6/10 I think and that might be being nice. If you want a larger/new avatar, send me a link to the picture and I'll fix it for you. :)

Paedantic Basterd 02-11-2011 06:00 PM

9/10.

Are you a pied piper of sorts, Tore?

Thanks!

To answer your question, not really. The avatar is a rat king which is a rare occurrence when several rats' tails get tangled and part fuse together. There's some evidence that rats have survived like that for quite a while, so appearantly they are able to function like that unless all rat kings were made/fed by rat catchers. Aside from some specimens being preserved in museums and so on, they've appeared in fiction here and there, for example in Terry Pratchett's book Maurice and His Educated Rodents where [SPOILER] the rat king is a collective intelligence/personae with telepathic powers made up of the rats that have their tails tied together.

Here's a picture of a real preserved rat king!

As for rats, I just love the little buggers :D

edit :

Skip me btw!

Paedantic Basterd 02-11-2011 06:10 PM

That's actually very interesting, thank you.

I think the one with the raised head is adorable.

Guybrush 02-11-2011 06:12 PM

I like yours too Pedestrian! 8/10 I'd say ..

Do you have a special fondness for deer? :)

Skip me, Skippy!

Can't beat consistency :D
Thanks for the offer man, but I like my avatar that way. Size is based on my own forum (max. size) and MSN messenger :)
I'm actually a well... quite good photographer but I have a rather strange style. I know how to make it bigger and lighter, don't worry :).
Here's some of my photo's to prove that i'm not talking total crap:

It's a piece called Twin Fawns by Peregrine Honig, and I found it particularly beautiful and sad. A taxidermist happened upon their mother, hit by a car on the road, and preserved them as they were in the womb.

EDIT: A mod needs to manually enlarge your photo, SK. I think that's what he meant. I don't think he was suggesting that you don't know how to resize.

Tore, that is by far the strangest thing I've heard in a long, long time. Very interesting though!

Skip me.

Sljslj 02-26-2011 02:40 AM

What the hell is it? It looks like something that could maybe be interesting, but it's too small. I'll give it a 4/10 just on the chance that it could be cool.

Mine is H.R. Giger art by the way.

Scarlett O'Hara 02-26-2011 03:54 AM

6/10 because it's dark and twisted.

Blarobbarg 02-26-2011 09:00 AM

1/10. Because I do not find kissing interesting. :-/

That's just me, though.

Cute and colorful.

DoctorSoft 02-26-2011 01:00 PM

4/10, kind of boring and should be bigger.

someonecompletelyrandom 02-26-2011 01:03 PM

8.5/10

CreeeeeeEEEeeeEEEEEEeeeEeEEEepy!!

Freebase Dali 02-26-2011 03:21 PM

10/10

Because.

Sljslj 02-28-2011 02:22 PM

8/10

I can dig it.

Dayvan Cowboy 02-28-2011 05:37 PM

^9/10

I love his art.

RVCA 03-01-2011 12:33 AM

I don't even like Star Wars so 8/10 is pretty huge

The Batlord 03-01-2011 11:05 AM

-1/10 for not giving a Hello Kitty Darth Vader a 10/10.

ThePhanastasio 03-01-2011 11:57 AM

8/10

It's kinda neat. Definitely works as an avatar.

+81 03-01-2011 01:07 PM

7/10, never really got into Phish but I've always liked Trey's asymmetrical semi hollow body guitar.

Blarobbarg 03-01-2011 08:10 PM

10/10

Because it's a great picture of Master Roshi and Dragon Ball is a HUGE part of my childhood.

djchameleon 03-01-2011 11:31 PM

6/10

I don't know the animation that it's from but it's nice, I like it.

Scarlett O'Hara 03-02-2011 01:09 AM

10/10 It's Gaga's sexy ass.

djchameleon 03-02-2011 03:54 AM

9/10

I like her in that scene but I prefer the part when she's like doing the whole "whip my hair" dance lol.

It's a piece of (concept?) art from "My Neighbor Totoro." classic piece of Japanese animation. Technically a kid's movie, but definitely enjoyable for older folks.

And 1/10. Don't like Gaga, and I find women waving their scantily clad bodies in front of my face incredibly unsexy. :-|

Raust 03-02-2011 07:57 AM

5/10 It's alright a bit to cutesy for me. Reminds me of Easter.

Queen Boo 03-14-2011 01:43 PM

9.9999999/10.
Only Travis. I love that movie, I love that picture, fucking resize it, you look like an undignified n00b. I'll do it for you if you'd like. Someday a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets.....

I'm trying to find an avy that I won't get sick of in two weeks and one that generally isn't considered fugly. Its sort of difficult. The rococo ballroom I have now may be too highbrow for me considering my longest standing avatar is a picture of Megan Fox but I think its lovely and I like the way it looks against MB's background.

domman123 03-14-2011 08:34 PM

7/10, I'm not really an art kinda guy

Blarobbarg 03-15-2011 09:28 PM

Very very small. Although it looks like a family crest tattoo, and that's pretty cool. 5/10. Not great, not terrible.

Wayfarer 03-15-2011 10:43 PM

Giving a photo of a bunny enshrouded by flowers anything less than a 10/10 would feel almost inhuman.

its actually the jersey state seal with three X's in the middle, the banner reads "straight edge"

Ohhh okay. Still cool, I approve. :)

But I'll rate Wayfarer's avatar. Looks like an album cover of some sort, and zooming in with my iPod I can see that the people are carrying weapons of some sort. 6/10.

The Music Gates 03-16-2011 02:10 PM

Cute..8 out of 10..but I have to agree..it reminds me Easter,too

Janszoon 03-16-2011 02:14 PM

Redefines minimalism. 10/10
