Mine is from the Sesame Street book of opposites, featuring Zero Mostel. Probably published forty years ago, I used to read it to my niece. Each page features two images showing opposing concepts.

having me and a bunch of sharp objects in the same room is a sure ticket to “none”

holy Moses I remember that book from when I was a kid!

Got a beige backdrop to my initial profile-letter avatar. @juice made a joke with @Carl Kotte about beige lions. Since I only have a reddish exotic shorthair I figured, "that'll do".

A face only a mother could love, Just kidding. What a cute kitty

I think he's quite ugly. I've had some allergy problems with cats, but persians always worked fine. This time we tried the short-haired version and it also works for me. However, after having had flat-faced cats since 2005, I now do a double take every time I see a cat with a normal face.

But yeah, you're correct. He's ugly. Don't tell my wife though. She gets mad when I say that.

But do you have a back tattoo? Commemorative shirt? Lock of hair?

Interesting. I'm a cat guy too and was fine with them in the house until I left for University. Came back for Christmas and acquired an unpleasant cat dander allergy. I'll have to look into these breeds.

It's your self portrait. You like TF so much you just had to get plastic surgery to look like him.

 

[lemeneid]

No but according to the email I got when I returned from my trip, TF was happy to spend "happy time" with me

No homo

According to @Marek07 he looks like the Japanese Tom Jones, and I kinda agree.
Not sure if the ladies drop their panties for him though.

Hey man. Whatever it takes to get that perfect Denka. Maybe “happy time” will work with Shigs?

Be careful though, Tokifusa-san is getting along in age. "happy time" might actually kill him and there goes your Shig dream!

 

[Dakota Day Trader]

Mine is because I'm a Day trader/Investor that lives in ND. The photo in my avatar is a much cleaner version of what I look at every day.

 

[Slim278]

Judging by avatars alone, I thought you were the antithesis of @dafox

I , or rather my 6 year old, have one of those birds also. Very personable little birds, much more so than the parakeets I had as a child.

My doctor says that there isn’t a difference between breeds when it comes to allergies, and since I have issues with other cats and tests positive for allergy, I should be allergic to this breed as well. Doesn’t make any sense, but no red eyes or coughing so maybe it’s a nocebo effect?

Younger than whom? Moses?

Yeah they are very sociable, and quite intelligent too.

That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I’d just run across the great state of Alabama. And that’s what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I’d gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I’d gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going.

And that's the story behind TF meditating while making knives.

and wrooooom, suddenly out of nowhere (for the inattentive dreamer) the grinding wheel goes over the centre of the edge - and a new overgrind. ’Perfect! I might just as well continue doing another - just keep going!’

Objection! That's libelous. I never said that! It was you - in a message back in July '19. You also referred to him as "one sexy bastard" in the same thread. I have the proof and it's been forwarded to my legal team as I contemplate my options.

Cool! Yeah, Jeff Crawford shook the surfing world when he won the Pipeline Masters in the 70s, no one thought a Floridian could ever win it, since East Coast surf wasn't highly regarded in those days.

Now some dude from Florida has won more world championships than anyone & could surf Pipe with the best.

Yeah. Persians and exotics have that grumpy face. Just look at this picture of our first cat after a bath.

This made me forget the subject of the thread. Having said that, it is an awesome post! This made my day!

 

[minibatataman]

I love the stories behind the avatars people pick. @DitmasPork thank you for this post.
Mine is just me next to an old train though

 

[Keith Sinclair]

That's a cool old locomotive.

Mine is one of my oil paintings.

Rereading the above, my apologies if the head shaped knife block thing came off as confrontational. To clarify, I was trying to make a joke about the "knife in your image" thing by posting a picture of a knife that looked like a person, then came across that image during the google search and thought it was so cool I had to share it. Sometimes my posts come off differently than I intend, though.

It was pretty funny... as was dragging the argument into defacing my post. Sorry, I'm probably much worse than you when it comes to humour... Meanwhile I found that the best thing to express your image, outside of some cool analysis I could do with your Avatar, is your undertaking of brushing up the Kitchen Knife Glossary. I can recognize your kind of input best right there. Not to suck up - that was intended for if the argument went another logical way. A head with knives through it... it's actually pretty close to truth where I am concerned. See my Avatar!
