Fall 2007 "Explain your avatar" thread.

[JoeH33]

Mine is G.O.B. and Franklin from Arrested Development.

[hawing]

My avatar came up when I did a Google image search for "bucky badger". I like it because it looks like Bucky is trying to push my comments off the side of the page.

 

Kegstand, for me your avatar reminds me of the days when Badger hockey featured not only a skating Bucky, but cheerleaders. They have a skating Bucky again, don't they?

[colbyjack]

Mine shows a onesie I made for my son Henry, a replica Hank Aaron away jersey from the 1975 Brewers.

mine is a picture that I took during game 3 of the 2007 Midwest League Finals between the Beloit Snappers and West Michigan Whitecaps. The picture is of Joe Benson after he hit a triple and slid into third, I think this is the longest I have ever had my avatar the same. Anyway, Joe was really nice and before the game I asked him if he broke a bat if I could have it, and he said yes. And in his second at bat, he cracked one, and he gave it to me, then he went over with his family by the clubhouses and I waited for about 10 minutes a ways away, and without asking, he came over and signed it for me. I really hope he can make it to the show, he is an awesome athlete, and it ripped! For anyone that cares, this is the picture of the bat that Joe gave me after the game, and then in game 5 when the Snappers lost to the whitecaps, Joe gave me his green home snappers hat, this is why I love the minors...

oh, on another note, I am trying to keep my avatar the same until Joe makes it to the majors, or is out of baseball, it will be a tough task, but I am going to try.

My new avatar is Cha-Ka from Land of the Lost.

 

Chaka like!

I think they do indeed have a skating Bucky. They also have cheerleaders who are in the rows of the stands at certain points.

My avatar is one of the biggest travesties of the Taylor era, now disappeared into baseball oblivion.

[lukevan]

cool avatar story bhfan!

[RU Rah Rah]

I suppose I should have some famous historian as my avatar, but . . . let's face it, I'm more of a "Caddyshack" guy at heart.

[RobertR]

Mine's a cover by Dave Gibbons from an obscure, unnoteworthy comic book. And it's 100 times less geeky than Patrick Stewart as Spider Jerusalem.

It actually took me a while to figure that out when you switched to that avatar, since I was used to seeing Neugie with just the sideburns.

Freudian slip fits well here.

 

[lukevan]

bullox, I meant to mention this earlier but your avatar made me laugh out loud in front of a clueless coworker today.

[halfnard]

Haven't posted since I loaded mine but it is something a friend whipped together for a blog posting. My name "Hal" in the ball and glove logo.

[NeedMoreFans]

Pretty simple. I like baseball. I also like Homer Simpson. It's natural to combine the two.

[iluvlamp]

Mine is simple.

[hawing]

NMF, I love the steely determination in Homer's face in that screen grab. He is obviously a gritty battler, which makes him fit right in around these parts.

[jason21nl]

mine is a picture I took of driver coming out of the packers tunnel.

[ccbrew]

Mine is of the Patio Daddio, in honor of the worst of the awful Klements commercials.

[mikevan1818]

Mine just made me laugh.

[patrickgpe]

presently i am representing field of dreams, my favorite baseball movie.

[brewcrew00]

Mine honors my favorite baseball player when I was growing up. I had the opportunity to watch him pitch a few times at County Stadium, and nobody will ever be able to convince me there will ever be another player like Nolan.

[GAME05]

Hoooooooo!!!! ah, the wrastlin' of my childhood, when you knew who the good guys were, and they all teamed up to fight against the Red Spectre. oh, Hacksaw Jim Duggan wasn't flashy or even healthy-looking, but he was entertaining. His finishing move was pretty ridiculous even for this adolescent. But what he lacked in style, charisma and vocabulary, he made up for with heart. Stand him up against other wrastlers and he'd be the one who least belonged, but that's a lot of what was entertaining, that this big dummy character, who was never a better wrastler than his opponent, would usually stand victorious if only because of the purity and earnestness of his conviction.
