Who has the best avatar?

I like mine. It's a criminal named Houdini Watson impersonating Superman, from "Superman's Greatest Enemy", Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen 30 (1958).

Watson and his cronies end up kidnapping Clark Kent. And of course the story's over very soon after that.

What's your avatar's story?

YEARS ago (we're talking WAY before the earliest versions of these forums existed and the internet was still new/unnheard of for most folks, I read an article about a street performer in New Orleans named Perri the Hobo. There was a photo of him drinking at an outdoor bar and smoking a heater. That picture has been my avatar (whenever I have NEEDED an avatar, ever since. IIRC that was circa 1994.)

Before I retired, my employer made a big push to use Microsoft TEAMS and requested that each of us upload a photo to use in Teams. That's the one I uploaded. They weren't pleased with that (they wanted serious pictures/actual photos of each person)

I listened to their concerns, and reasons why it was important to them, to take "this seriously" and then I left the Clown as my avatar. They repeatedly deleted that photo and replaced it with a generic logo, but I modified the group policy so that each time I logged in, it uploaded the Clown picture again. LOL
