You might be thinking of Luciaphil's cloche, though mushroom wasn't my first thought when I saw it. ;)


I thought it was someone with a lampshade over their head.  ;D

I can attest that it's MB. :D

Oh yeah...that IS Luciaphil's.  All I see is a mushroom.
Whatever happened to the good old days, when avatars were avatars and you knew what you were looking at??   ?!?

That 'thing' in MB's looks like a heart beating with a nipple popping in and out.

No wait!!  I know what it is!  It's that 'lung' or something, that killed Paul Stoddard during the Leviathan fiasco.

Yes.  That's it.

By the way, my daughter wants to know if Giles really introduced you to your wife. [smrtasb]

Please gently explain to your daughter that the only Giles I've ever known was a guy I went to high school with - Giles Moran. I haven't seen him since the day we graduated - and I have no idea if he's alive or dead. So, I suppose that means the answer is no.

In that case, we're getting the NY salute but in a new direction.

It certainly isn't the forefinger pointing at us ala Uncle Sam saying "We want you!".

It also looks like the ghostly bride that was seen on Friday's episode.

MB's old avatar is the Avatar on Port Charles right now.

Am I close or do I have to strain these eyes some more?

Ahem.  It's a hat, people.  A vintage 1920s cloche hat.   8)

Since we're talking about avatars though, I have to tell you, Connie, for the longest time I thought your's was some weird shot of David Selby wearing some sort of ersatz Native American headress  ;)  You can well imagine my moment of enlightenment when I realized they were just his hands  ;)

Oh, it really is a forefinger.  It's not a "family board" and though I hadn't thought about it before I'm pretty sure I'd draw the line at an avatar (and smiley too-- yes, I know they're out there) that flips readers off.

It was from Buffy, as are at least 3 other avatars in use right now.

Raineypark's title is actually kinda prophetic. ;)

;DWhile we are talking about avators, I would like to have one.  When will the Quentin and his "girls" be available?   Afan
Where are they getting these bodies, Mulder,  are they making them?

I've studied this and studied this, and I still don't know what it is.

Well, since some people still seem to be having a problem recognizing what's depicted in my new avatar, here's another (and final) chance.

First, two frame captures:

The figure...



& the pointing finger


And for those who still can't see it, here's the original video (minus the soundtrack, which was a purely personal message):

[rvid=200,180]http://www.dsboards.com/Warning_1.rpm[/rvid]
The size of the video file in 1.06MB.
It shouldn't take more than 5-6
minutes to download using a
56K modem.

Okay, I see the forefinger now but it looks like a gloved hand.

Can't access the video file. Which episode is it from?

Exactly - I'm wearing a white glove. ;)

It does work. Perhaps there was too much Internet traffic at the time. The thing is that you might have to wait a while before it reports that it's downloading. It might not begin to show progress until the download is already 48% of the way through.

Okay, it's not an episode of anything.

It's really you....dressed up in sheets and curtains....making a video of your own,  to use as your own avatar.

Is it your own 'version' of something else?....or an entirely original prodution?

YOUR little friend "Benedict" Abbey  is going to plotz when she sees this....it strikes soooooo close to home!!....only we never taped ourselves for posterity!!  [lghy]

MB,

We HAVE one!! It's the bracket sign ( [ ) plus the letters lghy and then the close bracket sign ( ] ).  Don't use the parenth's....just the brackets.

MB....
Oh, I get it, one must be a prolific poster to have access to the "special" smilies.  :(

Quite an interesting avatar I might add. Looks more like draperies in the larger version. Was it??
