Inspired by the similar thread for usernames. What's your story?

This avatar that I've had for a year or so now is a picture of John Paul Jones (the American naval officer, not the guy in Led Zeppelin). Basically my hero. Or one of them anyways.

Gunslinging cowboy, I have a fascination with such people. Not to mention it's a major part of my state's history.

I feel like Captain Haddock and myself have a few things in common.

I need a monocle, though.

My usual avvies include:

Braveheart One- Best Movie Evr. x2

Jimi Hnedrix- The greatest guitarist ever, plus a total badass.

Blues Brothers- Another great movie, based in Chi-Town, and more badasses.

Well my avy since joined and up til a couple mins ago was Big Boss from MGS3

Now it's a scene from the 1988 movie "They Live". Roddy Piper gets glasses that allow him to see what's really going on behind the scenes in the world. Some people are really aliens, Signs and billboards have subliminal messages that say OBEY, REPRODUCE, CONSUME etc. This scene he looks at a guys hand with some dollar bills in it, and when he has the glasses on, they are just pieces of paper that say "THIS IS YOUR GOD"

great movie, go watch it.

i remember your original avatar, skittles, from before you even had 100 posts..it was a sketch of a girl saying "weirded out!"

btw i was just looking up pictures of punk hairstyles (because they're just so captivating) and i saw a picture of sid vicious (which was my avvy before this). at the time, i didn't know who he was until someone told me that it was, in fact, him. i just googled him and i just like this mugshot picture
