Me too at college because too many people have like ridiculously large file size animated avatars and I'm quite careful about the amount of bandwidth I use as I obviously do stuff I'm not allowed to on the internet and I don't want to draw attention to myself.

Sadly I have to do this as well, thanks to the proliferation of boob avatars a while back. Not good for work.

This is just stupid. I realize that many people identify posters via avatars, but are you saying that you really can't comprehend how someone could identify people without avatars? Are you saying it is impossible to identify people by reading the names? You are a clown. Go post a picure of some cow [censored] somewhere.

Define regular...is that me?
If so...I had an avatar, but then it wouldn't work anymore, and I'm a tard when it comes to computers.
I am more bothered with regulars who never ever ever change their avatar.

I never bothered to add an avatar till a few weeks ago. Part of me feels avatars (and sigs, especially large ones) are ostentatious and poor form. I'm not sure why I added mine when I did -- a moment of weakness given my personal stance. Then, a week or so after adding one, I turned avatars off so I no longer see them. There's some delicious irony there.

Laziness. And I don't want to have to try to come up with something unique or cool and then have to change it and then change it again. As I said: laziness.
Edit: Schwza, I have you beat for most avatarless posts, although you may be registered longer, I'm too lazy to check.

blarg, you should add a courtesy avatar for those that do have them turned on.
personally i would not enjoy the forums as much with avatars off for some reason.

Wow. You two are way too high strung for your own good. I made a joke referencing the topic of whether you know someone by their avatar or just screenname, a topic that comes up in here about once a month. Yeah - I really can only tell who I'm talking to by their avatar. Then, all of a sudden, someone doesn't get it and everybody's panties are all up in a twist over the [censored] cowshit picture? This is the stupidest [censored] I've ever seen. When is the last time you've even seen that stupid thing? I probably wasn't even one of the top 3 people posting it - there were all kinds of people posting it, but somehow it's my signature reply according to you. Yeah, it was stupid, but that was the point. How long are you going to hang on to this crap? Get over it. Even women don't hang on to crap this trivial for as long as this.

Yeah, but if I changed it at the same time that I changed my name, no one would have any idea who I am now.
Anyway, the avatar has been around long enough that it's going to stay for the foreseeable future.

I dunno, I didn't have an avatar for a long time until I actually took the time to find one I liked.
I mean, I suppose I could have gone for the standard "hot chick" avatar, but I really felt that was too overdone.
Of the top of my head, I like PPdelGrande's avatar (since it was the first more cowbell avatar, at least that I saw), and Shajen's is pretty funny, and of course Eurotrash's.

That's funny those were the exact two I was thinking of. As far as best there's a couple good ones out there. Honestly, I still laugh at least twice a day looking at my own avatar. Almost pathetic as laughing at your own jokes, but so be it.

[/ QUOTE ]
I stopped understanding at "beard". The sentence parses such that "mail order Filipino prom date" is an adjective for beard, but I don't see how a beard could be "mail order Filipino prom date"-esque? And moreover, noone in the picture has a beard.
Anyway, this joke has been done, and better, albeit on a different forum. Props on recognizing my wife as a Filipina though; the last joker referred to her as Chun Li in his bit.

After I posted, I realized maybe it was some kind of slang, but my search on wikipedia only brought up this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beard).
