Lofarl Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) I used to post on a forum about the game battlefield 2. It was the first computer game I was really into. There was a guy on that forum I liked that used the profile pic I now use. I just find the image funny. Anyway. Do you judge people by their profile picture or signature? There’s a few people who for some reason I think are total bellends solely based on the picture they use or their stupid signature. I know I shouldn’t but I do. Also people that use that Kenneth Williams pic. So. Explain why you choose the picture you use. Edited August 1, 2021 by Lofarl 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Shandrix Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I like that bit in "Jimi Hendrix at Monterey" when he sets hits guitar on fire and everyone in the crowd looks really shocked. I like to imagine Jimmy Shand in the same situation playing "Wild Thing" on his accordion before burning it and blowing the kids' minds. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 @Mon Dieu stuck this GIF up after we had a decent cup win (I forget against who, probably the Binos), so I nicked it. Before that I used a Zombatar from the greatest video game of all time, Plants vs Zombies. I can't say I pay much attention to people's avatars, but it's a bit jarring when one of the regulars changes theirs. Like walking into a room and noticing something's moved; you've no idea where it was before, but it's different now and you just don't like it. Also, folk who don't set an avatar are almost always nogoodniks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 My avatar is a tupilaq. In Inuit shamanistic rituals, a tupilaq was used to curse someone. The carved figurine would be paced in water following chants and incantations, after which it was said to come alive and track down the victim to kill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Mine displays the structure for a Carbon 60 molecule consisting of 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons. There is some connection with football but I have forgotten what it was. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) Mine is my favourite actor, Warren Oates, starring in the greatest film ever made, Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia, directed by Sam Peckinpah. Had a drunken escapade in Wales once (not involving sheep and not very serious, they let me go the next day) when I was nabbed by the police and my mate managed to get away. The cops asked me who he was and I said Alfredo Garcia. They woke up everyone in my house asking where he was. My housemates weren't very happy with me. Spoiler Alfredo Garcia was dead in the film before it started. Edited August 2, 2021 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) Everyone and their mum is packin' around here. Like farmers. *puffs cigarette sheepishly* and farmer's mums. edit: i cant say with absolute certainty but i think another poster might have had the same .gif as an avatar for a while, no idea who. Its just a visual gag I really like and it slots in nicely on here with the Andy's sliding in and out of view imo. Previous avatars were me faceapp'd as a solid wid, and a Baldur's Gate style Arnold Schwarzenegger portrait with the big guy confidently puffing a cigar. Can't honestly mind what went before that, might see if there's a way to go down memory lane and see what other stuff I had there through my profile, sure there was something Kingsley related. May well change it up soon too if I can find anything suitably comical I've downloaded in a drunken haze recently.

I for one think your avatar's great, and think it's from a film I saw the other week about a bunch of London gays clubbing together to support the miners strike and picking a Welsh village at random to help. The scene, if I'm right, is the Welsh shop steward showing some guy who had been nasty to the gays what he thought of him, not sure if the other guy has been added in. If I'm wrong this is going to be very embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Quite simply, Dundee got promoted, and James McPake and Jordan McGhee simply enjoyed the festivities. My older one which I used for a long time was a screenshot of Paul Heyman's finest impression of Eddie Marlin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here's a bit about the film. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_(2014_film) Oh f**k, maybe he shaved off his moustache for that bit. Anyway, pretty sure it's Paddy Considine. P.S.

Sugar_Army Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 9 years on here and never occurred to me to use a profile pic. In fact I only realised I did not have on due to this topic. On a similar theme, I do not even particularly like my forum name. Think it was born out of lack of inspiration and was something a mate used to chant at me years ago when he was pissed. If I could change it I suppose I would pay homage to the original while acknowledging my penchant for the occasional long-winded post (current example) and call myself "Essay". As for a profile pic? No idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
