Avatars... Meanings?

I've noticed that several of you have some pretty cool avatars, and me being nosey, I'm curious if some of them have special meaning. Some good looking animals too.

Mine is actually a drinking moment. It was definitely a "hold my beer and watch this" moment. However, it's totally something I'd do sober, granted I may not be as flexible. Someone mentioned that I couldn't fit in the little car... I showed them.

My avatar is a picture that I took out in my back yard. I wish that the end result of what I was seeing came through but I wasn't using a proper filter. When I came on here I needed to think of a name. My car that I bought a while back is a royal blue. My niece owns a big truck that's the same color and she calls it Big Boy Blue so I teased her and told her I was going to start calling my car Little Lady Blue. Hence my name. I chose the pic because that also has blue.

Nice try on fitting into the car, I know how small those things are! Oh, and you don't have to explain your name, the pic says it all!

That picture is quite awesome!

And since monikers were brought up, "the clown" is a name that was pegged to me early in my drinking career. I adopted a more l33t spelling to annoy my friends when I got top scores on video games.

Mine changes from time to time. But this one with Dorothy's shoe's from the Wizard of Oz is when Glinda the Good Witch tells Dorothy, "You've always had the Power dear, you've had it all along."

Mine is of one of the pastimes I've taken back up after quitting, playing (actually relearning how to play) the guitar. Specifically it's my favorite guitar, a Gibson Les Paul

I was Miss Piggy once in a school production. Miss Piggy was a hand puppet. I had to audition to get the part. All the Muppet's sang the 12 days of Christmas. We were fabulous.

I really like your avatar and love space pictures like nebulae, galaxies, etc.. I can relate about living in space all the time!

My avatar is my first successful attempt to choose my own that didn't come from the ones at SR. I had tried a few that didn't work but this one did. I love forget-me-nots, they're one of my favorites. I've read their color is unique in nature and unreproduceable which I tend to believe. So I like that unique aspect, too.

I am a gym rat, that's why I have this avatar.

And it says "I've learned that life is tough, but I am tougher!"
