OK. We've got a substantial number (6) of pictures to choose from. Here are the choices (in cronological order).
1. Some dude from Akira.
2. A wizard drawn by EireWolf (Based on Gandalf).
(edit: Snipped.)
3. Miagi-San (Mr. Miagi from The Karate Kid).
4. Obi-Wan Kenobi (From Star Wars).
5. Gandalf the Grey
6. Soma Cruz (From Castlevania, evidently)
7. Other (Write in for a different picture)
8. Abstainer (I don't think you should change the avitar)
There you have it. Choose away!

Hmm, I couldn't decide between Wolf's pic and Obi-Wan ... so I voted for both.

Just a note.... the guy from Castlevania would be ok, if there was a beard.... I'm leaning toward Gandalf, but I'm not so sure about that picture, maybe we can find a slightly better one, maybe more of a face-shot?

I would've chosen Gandalf the Grey and Obi Wan, but I chose Gandalf instead. After the fact I was thinking, "Hmmm. Maybe I could have gone for Obi Wan too." Sooo... Go Gandalf!

Bah... I meant to vote "Other" but the stoopid punch card was too hard to understand!
Dang... no hanging chad!
Why not try these avatars? >;2)

Hey Gyp: That's why I made them check boxes! So people could select more that one.
DaneJovax: I think if I had my avatar as a cat on the crapper I'd get banned.
The plato images, however, are intreguing.

The only problem is that he appears to be flipping me off...

I voted Gandalf the Grey.
Gotta love LotR characters.

He's not flipping anyone off... he's making a point... something you do tend to do around here... even if it's the wrong one! >;2D

For me it's a tie between Obi and Gandalf.

Ooooooh! Dem's fighten woids!
OldPhil is NEVER wrong. Neither is he right. He posts exactly what he ambiguates. (And he embiggins the smallest soul!)

Phil, um... you aren't even making sense, and on top of that, your 'sig is repeating quotes. Tsk Tsk.
I'm going off to pray for you now. Ja ne.

Sounds very familiar to my own "Gypsies are never late. Nor are they early. They always arrive precisely when they mean to."

My wizard avatar is winning?!?

I think this proves that your new avatar should be Gandalf the Grey (or the White) in some form or other. But not my drawing, since it's actually based on a pic of Saruman...

Okay, I just visited a LOTR avatar site, and their avatars pretty much all sucked. So I'm going to try to make you a better Gandalf avatar. (Not that there's anything wrong with the one currently in the running, but someone mentioned they might prefer a closeup.)
Photoshop is my friend...

Alrighty, I made 8 new Gandalf avatars. IMHO, they're better than any I've seen on avatar sites. All I did was crop pictures and resize them.
Here they are:

Honestly, I was gonna wait until Next Mon. And for the record, I haven't voted yet.

Heh... Oldphil, I think
your vote should count quadruple at least.
