My avatar has nothin to do w/ pinball. I took a pic when passin thru & stopped to check out a small town in central TN called Wartrace. That is the one and only time I've ever seen a flashing red light that had info wording under the light. .... "STOP then go". Got a kick out of that one. There is/was an antique shop there filled w/ nothing but Mountain Dew bottles/signs/& other stuff.
Someday I'll change out my pic. I much enjoy some of the avatars and screen names that fellow Pinsiders come up with.
Quoted from smassa:My current one isn't easy to see but it's the Surfer about ready to kick some Wolverine ass! (: I had Ron Lim do it as a custom piece when I saw him at Comicon.
Cool...Ron is my wife's cousin. We went to the same high school in Marysville. He has done several posters and such for my kids over the years.
As for my avatar, I recently switched from a private symbol to the Australian import album cover of AC/DC's Dirty Deeds to celebrate my BIBLE. Yes, I know that is technically a mismatch but its a cool cover!
Quoted from mummite:Lead designer on Sly Cooper. May as well give a shameless plug for our new trailer

Quoted from VegasAlleycat:Cool...Ron is my wife's cousin. We went to the same high school in Marysville. He has done several posters and such for my kids over the years.
That is really cool!. He's one of what I consider the top 3 atrists in the industry.....Man I'd love to see some of the stuff he's done for your kids.....can you post pics?

Mine is a set of freshly cleaned and rebuilt drop targets from a holy grail of mine, Seawitch. It was a somewhat arbitrary grab from from my collection of pin related photos when I was setting up my account. I'll probably replace it with a pictured of my rescued pooch. She's cute.

I am away from home for another 2-3 weeks, but will try to when I get back...

Mine is a statue in the hogrock campground in southern IL where they have some kick ass bike rally weekends twice a year
Quoted from Deaconblooze:<---- Because I own the greatest sports franchise of all-time, but they forgot to give me my ring..
I think you must be thinking of a different team...
Bear Down!!!
13 NFL Championships vs. 9
4 Super Bowls vs. 1
A hallowed shrine for a stadium vs. a mistake by the lake
A team owned by its fans vs. a team mostly owned by one rich person
3 starting QBs in the last 20 years vs. 25 starting QBs in the last 20 years
The Bears could almost be called pathetic as a pro sports franchise, but then they'd be known as the Minnesota Vikings!

Reminds me of a good joke from last year...
Q: What do you call 53 millionaires sitting around watching the superbowl?
A: The GreenBay Packers
A few more facts of importance to this topic:
Most members in hall of fame >Da Bears
Most total wins by any team > Da Bears
A founding team of the NFL > Da Bears
The one superbowl win by the bears is still one of the best and most memorable in NFL history.

I used to work at a hazardous waste facility in the summers to help pay my way through school. I always liked the ominous look of the biohazard symbol I saw at work everyday. It was the year 1996, and at that time, my girlfriend gave me a Playstation and a kick-ass game called Resident Evil (which just-so-happened to be called Biohazard in Japan). My fantasy football team needed a name that fall, so Biohazard was the choice and it's been intimidating my rivals ever since. I just decided to recycle it here.

OOOOooooooooooooooooooo! 
I don't even remember where I found this, but its a thumbnail of a 'realistic' rendering someone did of Krang from TMNT. I always thought Krang was a very cool, iconic villain and when I saw the real deal I was blown away. I use it all over the internets now... I suppose I should change it to The Pinball Podcast logo, or Duke City Pinball logo... but its KRANG!

I also change my pic often, trying to match whatever gorilla mood I was in. Currently it is of me, playing Congo.
Long time James Bond fan, and long time James Bond video game developer (worked on all of them except the Nintendo 64 version of World is Not Enough...nor the dreaded Nightfire game for PC).

Wait a sec...
Are your avatar pics always YOU dressed in the gorrila suit? I had always assume they were just lifted from the net for comedy purposes.
Quoted from Whysnow:Are your Avatar pics always YOU dressed in the gorrila suit?
No. this is the original shot of me. I can see how I wasn't clear, sorry
Quoted from the_pin_family:Duke city pinball? Care to elaborate? Just curious my last name is Duke.
I'm from Albuquerque, which is called the 'Duke City' as it was named for the Duke of Albuquerque. We have a local pinball club.
