I was going to put a picture of Ed McMahon up as my avatar, but then I was worried that he and his posse were going to hunt me down in the middle of the night.

The Hulk is green and so is money. The Hulk is rather large. I am 6'6 and 310 lbs. I also loved the comic book when I was younger!

My kids love Sonic the Hedgehog, so I used that. But I'm thinking of switching to Alfred E Newman because I love his tagline, "What, me worry?"

I always have a redhead for an avatar when I have one, and this was as close as the premade ones I could find (I am a redhead) -I have a cartoon I usually use, but I couldnt figure out how to use it here.

This is what I might look like if I was significantly thinner (and if I spent the money to maintain a really cool hair coloring job).

I thought Fred Flintstone would be pretty cool, I should have chosen one to tell of my profession I am a shoe salesman in the childrens shoe dept. at Dillards.

They have some Timberland shoes for boys only $17.50

We love animals at our house. We have my mom's old Border Collie (my mom has Alzheimer's and is now in a nursing home.) We have a guinea pig and a hampster, but the pet we have the most of is cats. We have three right now. I especially love cats, so I picked this avatar.

Just a bump to the top to see if the new folks here have one and if so why they chose their avatar.
