[![My avatar][1]][1] My avatar was Joseph Ducreux, a French painter known for breaking the fourth wall and having portraits far more expressive than the standard of his time. A meme of the interwebs has established his paintings as the perfect place to post dated rewordings of musical lyrics. Here, we see Ducreux pointing at the camera with the chronologically correct reimagining of "Can't Touch This". It should be noted that this is not the version currently used in my avatar (the wording is different). I abandoned my previous idea of using David Axelrod (the musician) as an avatar, as he quite simply doesn't sit still in a manner appropriate for hats. Indeed, I planned for the *long haul*. ---------- In a show of solidarity with a fellow chatter... who is now a squirrel, I then changed my avatar to Vince Offer holding a Terrible Towel, with this pose, taken from a ShamWow commercial, as the base: [![New avatar][2]][2] I also changed my name to Terriblefan. ---------- With the departure of Major Stackings and his warning against sock puppetry, I then changed my name back and changed my picture to a heavy metal sock puppet:  It's noted as "Metallica Sock Puppet". While I don't care for Metallica, it is a fairly awesome sock puppet and I felt it reflected my name better than the KISS sock puppet or the Slipknot sock puppet. ------- With an avatar from Gallifreyan and a name from I Love You (because said user thought my name was Axe Lord and not Axel Rod, and making this change messed with the user's autocorrect), I have created my latest avatar-name combo.  *I* think it's pretty freakin' rad. ------- In light of incidents in chat, I have changed my avatar once again, to something more appropriate to the situation.
