Tell us about your avatar

My avatar...
It needs a caption.

"Humans....*sigh*…."

I chose it because it made me laugh.
It also goes well with my signature line.
No other reasons.

Laughter is good.

but I digress...

I used to have a different avatar on a different forum.
They banned me forever because one of the owners said
the forum rules did not apply to him and I called him a petty tyrant.
This was my avatar over there. (Now some of you may know who I am.)

I decided to not bring it here because it would imply
that I owned a guitar that I in fact did not own.

Mine's from the ad in the back of the old comic books for "X-ray glasses." The other part of the picture had a woman in a dress that the guy was looking at, and he could see through the dress. Woo-woo!

My younger brother, who was then under ten years old, believed. So he bought a pair, which he saved pennies for, and looked forward to getting with eager anticipation.

The scammers behind this fleecing were so bold that after a few weeks, they actually had the chutzpah to follow through! They sent him a pair of cheesy novelty eyeglass frames with cardboard for "lenses." The cardboard had a red and white swirl pattern printed on the outside. In the center of each "lens" was a pinhole. That was it. Those were the X-ray glasses.

I'll never forget the sight of him traipsing around our house with these things on.


I wanted some of those glasses when I was a kid...could never afford them. Spent all my money on comic books!
