¿Where do you get your profile image?

I inkscaped mine a while ago as a logo for an admin tool I wrote. Named after Getafix from the Asterix comics, whose trademark tool is the golden sickle. Once I had added the RJ45, the arrangement was kinda logical
-
My avatar is gone. I can't see it.
-
If my avatar looked like yours, I probably would have gone to the Korean National Security Agency and got some questions asked or worse.

That's not the strangest game played in Computer Science.

Mine's the Community Server default dude, facepalming.
Back when I was still participating in the eBay discussion forums, I stole the default silhouette avatar picture and Paintshopped a pair of Groucho glasses onto it for my own use.
Then someone there found a pic of Ben Turpin for me, added a caption "Well, I look at it this way", and gave it to me for further use.

stolen from the internet

I cropped it out of a photo I took of my cat, Poppy.
-
Can we see more of Poppy? She's very cute.
-
I didn't notice the RJ45 until you mentioned it. I guess that's a hard detail to make pop without overdoing it.
-

She is, but I'm a dreadful photographer so I don't have many good pictures. Here's a nice one - I was visiting my parents (she's the family cat, so she didn't come with me when I left home) and when I was packing my stuff up to go home she jumped right into the bag.

I always thought that was a torch, myself.

Yeah, a torch, or something like that.

For my avatar, I used Source FilmMaker to make it.
It's based on a Team Fortress 2 loadout I've been using for years.

Mine is a picture of the bus. Not a real bus, of course. Certain streets around here can make you believe that all buses are fictional, so it's equally reasonable to wait for the Cat-Bus as any other one.
My background is the colour "white" , which I stole from the Internet.

It's from My Neighbor Totoro, right?

Greatest children's movie ever made, right there. Even if the bus has testicles.

It sure is.
BTW, South Park did nice parody of one of the scenes from Totoro with Cthulu and Cartman:

I paid a graphics designer $5,000 to create mine - it took him weeks, but I'm pleased with the result. It's so.... me
It is copyrighted and trademarked so if you create a screenshot with my avatar in it then you agree to pay me $250.

You were clearly robbed.

Now you just need to color it in neon, and claim you aren't appropriating feline culture because 1/63 Cat Person and you can trace your lineage back to a distant fifth cousin of Eartha Kitt.

Ever see [url=http://www.nausicaa.net/wiki/Pom_Poko]Pom Poko[/url], the greatest PG movie about magical tanuki testicles ever made?
http://entropymag.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/pompoko.jpg
Also, as a fun bit of trivia, Totoro was originally produced as the second half of a double feature with [url=http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-grave-of-the-fireflies-1988]the most depressing animated film ever made[/url]. Theatres had a bit of trouble showing the two together, though, as much of the happy, cheerful audience which had just watched My Neighbour Totoro would often walk out before the end of Grave of the Fireflies. When the order was reversed the shell-shocked survivors of Grave would desperately hang on waiting for the happy ending of Totoro.
If you do plan on seeing Grave of the Fireflies, make sure that you book an extra hour and a half for Totoro right after it finishes. Also, lock any windows, keep dangerous weapons away from all viewers, and try not to play the Grave of the Fireflies Drinking Game ["Watch the movie. Whenever you feel you need to drink something, drink it."] as this can lead to fatal alcohol poisoning.

Grave of the Fireflies
I hear lots of people saying it's a depressing film. I do wonder if it's hyperbole, or if people just haven't watched many sad films.

it's a pretty tough movie to watch.
but i think it's one of those, much like Schindler's List, that it is important to watch.
just make sure there are tissues on hand when you watch it.

Srsly, for a fucking avatar?@mikehurley said:

True, I experimented with different sizes a bit and if I made it bigger it sucked at higher res.

It's pretty awesome but still can't hold a candle to Dougal and the Blue Cat

no.... not giggity.

Uncropped for your edification and delight, because there just aren't enough cat pictures on the interweb

I asked one of the other people here for an avatar because I was using the default.
I had the default "Z" but had mirrored it, then someone here made mine by superimposing the CS default guy. I've been too lazy to come up with anything better!
I used to have an avatar based on:

Here's the old default avatar from CS, in case you're interested:
Did I ever get to use this variant? If I didn't, it was a missed opportunity.

What's that supposed to be?

It looks like a really shitty rendition of Portal shit. The blob of crap in the lower right is the portal gun, the oval-shaped blob of crap is the frame of the orange portal, and one of the wisecracking turrets (represented here in the abstract by a blob of crap) is visible through the portal.

Mine is a jar of applesauce from a company that stole my last name and refuses to pay me royalties. They should have known I'd be born sometime after they started up!
-
Have you tries contacting them with your request? It should be a funny conversation.
-
Chances are that the name has been in his family for some time, so he could claim it's a long-lasting family brand. Track down some long gone relatives from a few generations ago, and you're good to go.
-
It's not a common last name, so chances are I'm like fifth cousins with the founders or something.
Also, there was a Mott in Star Trek, but I don't think there's any Bolian in my lineage.
-
In which case, fifth cousins is what, 2.5% of royalties?
