User Profile Picture - How and/or why did you choose yours?

[Camella Black]

Its late and I'm sitting here staring at Obama and Paris Hilton on nukeworker and wondered how RadBastard chose this photo. So I thought I'd ask everyone the same question... How did you choose that photo and why?

[gman82]

mine is my myspace pic, the chicks dig it 

[Rennhack]

I saw a picture of a handsome guy, and decided to use it as my avatar.

[Brett LaVigne]

Mine changes form time to time. I have had my daughter up because she is what I am most proud of in my life and I get to look at her when I am on here, I have had charcoal drawings that I did of Ray Charles and Marty Feldman. Currently I have the new Nissan GT-R because it is one of the nastiest autos on the planet and I dream of owning one.

Basically, you will see an avatar that just makes me smile for one reason or another.

[PWHoppe]

Fairly simple for me.....Da' Bears 

[MrHazmat]

I have always worked on or raced cars all my life.

[Marlin]

Other than having "Avatar" as my avatar I was bit of a fan of the SciFi fantasy animated films of the 70s, such as Wizards, and Heavy Metal.

[Brett LaVigne]

A man after my own heart!

[Rennhack]

Since that is the case and I'm too ugly for view.  I had my twin brother stand in as my avatar.   

Your brother should consider cosmetic surgery.

[Marlin]

Well, as a moderator we are encouraged to actually post a photo of ourselves in the avatar window. 
Since that is the case and I'm too ugly for view.  I had my twin brother stand in as my avatar.   
(My Lawyer told me to fully disclose the fact that I don't have a twin brother.)

Your brother should consider cosmetic surgery.

So much for being encouraged!!! 

My ugly mug is in the Nukeworker softball team photos nicely tucked away so as not to scare little children.

[incrediblehulk]

I've been told by those who know me...including my wife, that the best way to view me is with heavy make-up or a mask on.

[RDTroja]

Most flattering picture of myself I could find and representative of what a nukeworker looked like in 'the old days.'

[B.PRESGROVE]

  Margaritaville Baby!! (Love the beach and that gorgeous woman standing there and oh yah look at that hunk of nuclear powered manlyness standing next to her!!  )

[IRMWORM]

 Years serving the Leonards.....

[TN-Man]

Like Marlin, I'm a Sci-Fi guy. I'm currently following the story at afterworld.tv  and thought the Horseman kinda went with Tn-Man. I change from time to time. Life is change.....

[McBride]

My employer had us go through the 'Who Moved My Cheese' book, and while I was completing all of my interview/background information, I had it in a binder labelled, 'Who Nuked My Cheese?' 

I drew a House Mouse for the cover of my binder,  and liked it.  So, I scanned it and it is now my pic.

[PWHoppe]

You will be in demand for drawing up outage T-shirts  , that's a great drawing.

[McBride]

Little bit larger...

[Rennhack]

House Mouse?  I thought it was a R.A.T. (Rent-a-Tech)

I edited your avatar, I made the background clear, and added just a little shadow to make it pop.

[Nuclear NASCAR]

I figured it was time to update it since I'd gotten a haircut and I had this nice picture that Nate took when I was at Nukeworker central last August.

[RADBASTARD]

camella black  -Paris was like me when I was single ,WE WERE BOTH SLUTS !

[Dave Warren]

I figured I should pay respect to our next President.
Pretty simple.

[Rennhack]

Dave, you should know that every time I see that avatar, I smite you.

[stormgoalie]

I wanted to show off my toy   Would have a pic of me playing up, but only ones I have are with the mask off

[Dave Warren]

Rennhack, that was a very biased comment.
You will pay for that one.

[gman82]

Other than having "Avatar" as my avatar I was bit of a fan of the SciFi fantasy animated films of the 70s, such as Wizards, and Heavy Metal.

I love that movie, me and my friends always refer to those "funky monsters"

[RDTroja]

I figured I should pay respect to our next President.
Pretty simple.

Dream on. At least you got the 'pretty simple' part right. Oh, wait... that probably isn't what you meant.

[deltarho]

I happen to work for a major manufacturer of a certain cash crop.  I didn't want to explain how the public doesn't understand that 2nd hand smoke is nowhere near as dangerous as the cigarette is to the intended consumer.  Knowing and explaining that the Alpha cookie goes into the pocket or that there are more than 4,000 compounds rushing directly into the lungs just ahead of the heat source just doesn't get the overall concept of what 20,000 ionizations per incident means.  So, I used a spoof of a particular brand that I may or may not make, from a Wacky Package sticker.  Any questions? 

I miss nuke 'tude!

[shovelheadred]

...This U.S.Marine was prosecuted as a killer in 2006 for shooting 2 Al-Quaeda, soldiers, by our government...this is just a reminder that we are in a war, and most of us have family, friends and coworkers who have been to Iraq, or Afghanistan, some made it back, to go again and some a third time..some are in Arlington...the enemy all looks the same to me,,and a man with a gun, that was shooting at me, would get return fire..or like this guy did, one in the head, the back of the head, but "war is Hell"..this may or may not be the way it went down, who knows...but my reason for my profile picture..besides he has that, "New Marlboro Man" look

[RADBASTARD]

Shovalhead I agree he should have sent a few more to meet allah an their 72 virgins
great photo choice

[slattmandu]

I play electric guitar and that's the same color of my hair!

[Camella Black]

Dave, you should know that every time I see that avatar, I smite you.

Yeh you must have been smiting me too cause my karma went down 7 or 8 points when I put my Obama photo up for a while 

[Rennhack]

I can neither confirm nor deny that. But I'm glad it's gone.

Which reminds me, I haven't smited Dave today.

[Dave Warren]

All it takes is a click, Hack.....

I am glad to see that George has come over to the Democratic side and is supporting Obama.
We welcome all recovering Republican's, Badkitty.

Supporting him how?  Standing by with the Kleenex when he gets that hanger out?

[RDTroja]

Look at the surface, fail to apply any thought, make assumption. No change.

[Motown homey]

My daughter took this picture for a MySpace page that I never started.

[Camella Black]

Okay, I changed mine and yes this is me a few years back. Seeing as I'm turning 50 in a couple of months and planning an all girls getaway with family and some of best friends (including some from high school). I'd pay homage to my last birthday bash which was at 18 and spent in Ocala and Daytona. This photo was taken my senior year of high school.

[Eric_Bartlett]

I figured I should pay respect to our next President.
Pretty simple.

Be careful what you wish for Dave - he could just as well end up being as useless as his good bud, MA Gov. Deval Patrick considering he's been using all his speeches and catch phrases - but then again i don't anything expect more than uselessness from limousine democrats.

Now as far as my Avatar goes I consider myself blessed I can even log on to a computer let alone actually do something on it so until I get my 12 year old online to download a picture for me I'm stuck with the standard nukeworker.com choices of avatars

[PapaBear765]

I needed to get positive on karma.

Damn the moderators!

[dewf]

i forget where i got this... essentially its a stick figure on a snail... "to war, my steed!" always make me chuckle.

But, hey I've not been stuck in a sewer pipe all day wishing I could see the sunshine either.

I'll pass on the Karma.  At least the Positive Karma for now.

Show me some substance (vs grand'standing).

hahahahaha... sewer pipe.

[JustinHEMI05]

Mine is the Hebrew letter Yod... AKA the first initial of the Hebrew name for God... AKA the symbol of the 14th degree of Scottish Rite Masonry.

[mikec426]

I picked mine because it looks cool and most people don't know what it is.   

[number41]

Mine used to be motorcycles, but one of the fascists, I mean moderators  that runs this joint changed it for me!  I'm pretty sure it was the one who says his avatar is a pic of a "handsome guy" that he found somewhere.

[number41]

mike, yours looks like a clip from the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" where the spaceship is beaming-up people.  If not, is it?

[Rennhack]

Fascists?!?  If you don't like it, you can change it back.  I thought you would love it.  BTW, only Nuclear Nascar and I have access to peoples profile.

[number41]

Rennhack, of course I love it, that's why I haven't changed it back.  The smiley face would imply that I'm giving you a hard time.  Anyway, I don't want to upset the Pinko's that run this place.  I hear they can have me shipped to a gulag in Siberia!!!!!

[SloGlo]

aye wuz looking four sum thing dat reflected fav areas in my life.....work, geography, 'n sports.  doi..........!  some peepal haffa deeficult time wit homer, butt dey due knot no da daffynishun, obb vee us lee.   

[darkmatter]

Twenty plus years as a Contract Tech, the Bobba Fett avatar seemed to just fit-----the things we do for money. As for the darkmatter moniker, well that's a inside joke for astrophysics----if I have to explain, you won't get it.

[FrankyJack]

I've been told by those who know me...including my wife, that the best way to view me is with heavy make-up or a mask on.

thought about this....   decided against putting on makeup but i guess i can do a mask...

by the way...   i doodled mine...    spent almost six weeks waiting for a required hazmat seminar before i could complete my training at hanford...   i doodled lots of stuff during that time but this was the only thing i could show anyone...

[HAIRDUDE]

Let's see ... I picked this pic for my profile ... because it's me?

As an aside ... Doppler .... dude ... come back to us my brother ... walk toward the light .... 

[HAIRDUDE]

Edit complete ... howzzatt?

[Marlin]

Edit complete ... howzzatt?

Thanx, hope your book is doing well. Would its cover make a good Avatar?

[navytwinmom]

well mine does change from time to time but i know like any of my personal pics....honeycomb can attest to that fact. i have one yes just one pic of myself. now if you want pics of my kids/dog then have about a million.

i chose my rock and roll penquin because well....He is CUTE. 

DFTBA (dont forget to be awsome)

have a great day

[HAIRDUDE]

Using the cover of my book would probably be neat Marlin, but I'm beginning to realize that along with being semi-rich and semi-famous comes a need for a place or two where I can just be my usual schmo self, not an author etc. This has become one of those places. Between calls from my publicist, fan mail (who'da thunk it ... fan mail for me???) and the occasional nut-job who thinks the book is actually true ... go figger on that one ... I like nukeworker because most everyone on here knows me as "that HP guy" and nothing more. Everybody here was nice to me and put up with me even when I was a pain in the a@@ 'cause I was one of the guys. I've seen a lot of benefit from my writing ... don't get me wrong. I'm very grateful for all of it. But I would prefer not to prop myself up with it in here. Here ... In here, I am HAIRDUDE ... dork extrordinare
