Title: Cowboy Avatars? (How long since I visited?)
Post by: Koltar on July 13, 2012, 12:38:22 AM
Okay ...

I haven't browsed the site in a while.

When did the really Cool Cowboy avatars start?

Just wondering.

It really is kind of a nice theme going.

I think a few weeks ago.

Not sure why exactly, though I happen to be preparing to run a wild west game.

It started with Sacrosant changing his avatar a few weeks ago. It was one of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, so TDD and myself changed ours to complete the trio. More people joined in on the joke and started putting up avatars from the Magnificent Seven and so on. It kind of got out of hand from there. :)

it was a neat meme run--i was surprised at how many folks jumped on that chuckwagon.

the current (and less followed) album cover trend is also interesting.  neat to see who posts what cover.

Hm, OK I may join that album cover one, but only temporarily. Here goes.

thank you, good sir :hatsoff: while piece of mind (http://www.allmusic.com/album/piece-of-mind-mw0000045853) may be my favorite maiden album, i spotted someone else here with a "schwarzenegger with cowboy hat" and had to switch to this.  fucking brilliant soundtrack for one of my favorite flicks.

It's all Ben's fault with his Good, Bad, and The Ugly avatar.  I then had to find a decent female counterpart which Olivia Wilde fills PERFECTLY. She is on my keeper list.:)

Then we get the album cover thing but you guys mostly have no clue about the music or bands I prefer but you like girls, so one of my favorite singers instead.:D

She's a nice person IRL and we have the same hair color, mostly. She goes blonde sometimes.

Yeah, I'm not big on album covers, so the Magnificent Seven pic is here to stay, for a while at least.

I decided to hop on the western theme bandwagon after all, though "Bear Claw" Chris Lapp is not exactly a cowboy.

I'm a bit of a fan of Sergio Leone anyway, so when I saw so many Western based avatars, I happily jumped on the bandwagon.. :)

Starting that meme was the pinnacle of my internet achievement.  It can only go downhill from there.
