Who has the coolest avatar?

[Matt Adams]

Oh come on folks, you can't nominate your own avatar! It's like nominating your team's robot for being the best... get some humility!

Anyway, let's all face it, Andy Baker has a really neat avatar that's unique and clever. Everyone hated those tile puzzles as a kid, and is absolutely amazed every time the Technokats logo is solved (and so quickly!).

I'd say besides his outstanding posts, gracious attitude, and overall coolness, it's Andy's avatar that's gotten him so many reputation points. How can you NOT respect someone who can solve a tile puzzle?

(For the number-cruncher of the day award... estimate how many times Andy's puzzle has been solved. For additional props, estimate how many times people have seen Andy's avatar puzzle solved... for mega props... write a PHP file that display a real-time count on both numbers...)

I agree with Matt. It's shameless and wrong to aknowlege your own avatar. [Snoochie Boochies!!]

Elgin Clock -- Zoinks!
Joel J. for a DBZ avatar, something that any self-respecting internet community needs;
Andy Baker for giving our eyes something to dance over on those sleepless nights;

And the George Award goes to:

D.J.Fluck!? Um... One second folks...

::Throws the French, Russian, and Canadian judges out of the building and recounts the votes::

Joel J.!!

Okay, if you can't vote for your own, I'll give my vote for Wetzel's! I like it, I've seen it in person, and it reminds me of the time decided to "touch" up my brothers' Matchbox cars with my mother's finger nail polish...

okay, it wasn't really touching up, I out and out painted them whether they needed it or not...

[Matt Attallah]

Well...

My vote goes for David Kelly's. I don't know the story - but for amanda to have hard-coded it in it has to be good. Plus, for some very odd reasion, when I saw it all I could do was laugh.

BTW - For thoes that don't know about my new avatar - it's a Jeep Grand Cherokee "flexing" or seeing how much travel he has. When doin' some off-roading - it's all about the suspension travel. Plus it even does a pose!!

After a month or 2 of this one - i'll go back to the Walama!!

Walama -

Baring my own, i am partial to the linux penguin.

Mine, on the other hand, is a really cool picture of me where i am in focus and the background is moving.

[Kerry547]

I personally like George1083's simply because I love the Jay and SilentBob movies.

[Jon Anderson]

That David Kelly has one really cool avatar. ^_^

Ah yes, I did that a long while ago. Created it with Ulead Gif something or other and it was some preset animation. Then I just showed it to him someday or gave it to him.

My favorite avatar was the one that Anton Abaya created/used a long time ago.

I like kerry547's because it's from my favorite manga Naruto.

I haven't visited here long enough to know so... hmmm. I don't know

[Jay H 237]

Lets see....we got two for Redhead Jokes so far and they count since she hasn't voted for herself (I wonder if she made it or found it on the web somewhere).

What would also be neat is the reason you chose your avatar. Did someone else make it for you, was it a dare, a joke, or you just liked it. When you nominate someone elses if you could give us some backround on yours would be great.

Now I only have to find one so I can be cool like the rest of you!

If you're interested in some background, this thread might be of interest to you. It's a bit old, but some of us have explained the origins of our avatars there.

sillywilly547's avatar is pretty cool, Kerry547 has a good one too

[ranma_saotome20]

I think Thoughtful has a pretty cool one. It's definitely the best one I've seen. And speaking of avatars, I'm curious to know if anybody knows who mine is.
