For Wiisucks:
Hi! My name is Jack Klassen.! I'm a completely ordinary teenage boy from San Diego, California. My interests include soccer, surfing, writing poetry, and luge. I am homeschooled by my father who fought in the Korean War and was exposed to nerve gas. He is kind of crazy but I still love him. We got the Internet two years ago and I started making new friends on Yahoo! messenger. Surprisingly, most of these new friends were older men who wanted to have illegal, underage sex with me. Needless to say, I got a boner like a rocketship and cybersex quickly became my favorite thing in the entire world. Wait, did I say boner like a rocketship? I meant my vagina got as wet as Lake Titicaca. I started saving all of the hot chat sessions I was having with the Pakistanis, lesbians, child molesters and other monsters who were instant messaging me all day and all night, and I decided to put them up here on this website so you can see exactly how disgusting the entire human race is. Since then, I have been in a waterskiing accident that mangled my genitals beyond repair, been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, brain cancer, and Crohn's disease, learned to speak Urdu and French, covered my naked body in superglue, went to French lesbian camp, made a Hindu eat a roast beef sandwich out of my vagina, and ruined perfectly good cybersex for at least one hundred people. Use the menu above to find out more about me and start reading my sexy adventures,

Yes, that's right. Avatar chat. First, let me say:



Alright, back on topic. I was just thinking to myself, and if you haven't noticed, changing my av every few hours and days, wondering what everyone thinks about avatar changes. For the most part I've stuck with good ol Broodwich Shake, but occasionally I'll find something else, like bitey kitteh, or my new favoritist thing, Chibi Alien, which I stole from some bad aborto thefetus clone. God, that guy sucks.


This is the cutest Alien ever. Ever.

But it throws me off. Well, not changing my own, but when it happens with other community members it throws me the fuck off. Because really, isn't that what you see first when you look at someone commenting? It sometimes takes days for me to figure out, "Oh, that's so-and-so" when they change, just due to the fact that I get used to them by what they look like. I know, don't judge a book by it's cover and whatnot, but when the book is another person, and their cover is what they decide it should be, when it suddenly switches, what does that say?

So that's why I'm hesitant to change. Cowzilla said it best when he wrote, "Hey, don't bitch, I'm stuck with a banana with a face." (Note: Probably not verbatim there) And I remember butmac saying when I switched back after the first time I changed "blehman = shake". Snailey boy, too.

Now also let me say I've never been an online community member before, so I don't know if there are unspoken rules about this or not, or if it's just a preferential thing. Personally for me it's a preference thing. It's my preference that you stay the damn same so I can figure out who you are, or if you are gonna change, at least keep the same theme running, like snail's stormtrooper motif, or MrSadistic's "zombie/killer/kitteh" thing. But if it's my preference that y'all stay the same, what does it say if I change? "Fuck you" most likely. And I don't want anyone (weeeeeeeeeeellllllll, most anyone) thinking that I think about them that way. Internet is truly serious business. Shocking, I know.



Anyway, enough ranting about one of the least important things ever. I just wanted to know if anyone else held internet avatars as high up as I apparently do.



Is this blog awesome? Vote it up!

Damn I feel like changing mine now. Just kidding, but Chibi Alien is the best thing ever.
Holy shit. This isn't an abuse for three things :

1- where the crap did you find the evil kanevil stormtrooper?!

2- Ninja's punching little girls. Awesome.

3- It's a valid question. Your post doesnt scream attention whore or anything, I think this is something alot of people ask.

I can cut out just the Shake part if you want. Im used to MShake, but that Alien is awesome.

When I first started here, people were complimenting me on my use of the funny Jack Bauer crying gif so I decided to stick with it.

I originally wanted to use pictures of some of the actors from The Wizard like Fred Savage and Jenny Lewis.
@snaileb

GIS gay stormtrooper, and it's the first image.
Well then... that explains that.

Also, Japanese Luchador Ninjas.
While I agree avatar consistency is important for maintaining recognition of a Dtoider, I don't think people should be completely limited by their avatar. I'm not saying it's alright to constantly change it, but once in a blue moon, a person should be able to pick a new avatar, though they might wanna call the community's attention to it in some way (other than a pointless cblog post).
I just use mine because I made it, it's me and I have mental turmoil over using someone else's stuff for my avatar.

I don't know if it's good or not though, but I probably won't change.

Although I doubt you care considering how much you hate me, with your links of death.
I liek it when people keep their avatars. It warms the cockles.
I'm forbidden from changing avatars, whenever I mention it people say they wouldn't recognize my without my smiling crayon caricature. I like my avatar though, so I probably won't change it anyway.
I'd say mine is pretty damn recognizable. When I changed to a tanooki gif, and then Photobucket didn't like it, I took it as a sign to stick with the bunny.
@Necros: Like this one?

@Surf: I specifically did not include links of death, and I love you

@Danmartingan: The word cockles needs to be used more.

@shipero: That's why I posted this. I like shake too, but DAMN that's some sexy chibi alien...
I like mine a lot, and don't think I'll ever change it. Daryan's just to awesome! I'm not sure how recognizable it is though. I like the alien one a lot though but the one you have now is nice to!
If you keep a theme its cool. Kinda like me and the Burger King
I change mine because I get bored of looking at mine. Although some do associate me with a superman avatar. :(...guess I'll change it back one day.
I'm all for people trying to find their groove, and changing avatars until they find one that seems to click. But, once you find that one, it really helps if it stays the same.

Otherwise it's like someone moved my cheese. But if you grow to hate the old one, I can understand the need for change.
It's hard to find a mechanical monkey better than this. I noticed your avatar change, but did not deign to comment on it. Who am I to tell anyone what their avatar should be? But I will say, it is what people on the site recognize you by. It just takes some time for them to catch up to the new avatar.
< ---- avatar rocks. Took me a while to find one im comfy with, but hopefully shell stick around.
I was surprised no one had mine already. It seems like the majority of video gamers enjoy Futurama (or at least everyone I know personally). some idiot had it as his in some post a few weeks ago, but I've yet to see it again.
Yea, that's why I don't change mine. I agree with this blog 100% blehman.

We should have SadieG design a permanent one for MrSadistic seeing as he changes his avatar three times a day.
For new guys, like myself, I think we tend to worry too much about what our avatar is. Hell, I know I've already gone through two, but I've decided that this one is about as good as I'd like it to be.

@Big Filth - Hell yes.
Changed...back...fuckers....
unstoppablejuggernaut : Still the only editor to never use periods in his comments.
YAY!! Actually, I just want underboobs to come back for bigpopa's av.

And yeah, this was 2nd avatar I tried, I do believe, and I've changed it a few times but generally feel that this is how I'm known here. I don't hate it but, you know, sometimes you just need some new sexy for a little while.
Guess I will keep mine for a good 30 years.

Went from Juggernaut to Mia to jumping toast.....
So, this is where everyone is, this morning eh? Haha, I found you all! :o)
I definitely recognize members by their avatar. Funny then, that I don't have one of my own. I made one awhile back and still have it, but I have no idea where to host an avatar. Help!
@dtomek

www.imageshack.us is where I did mine, then you just click on the resize part and choose avatar, pretty straight forward.
I think it's always easy to figure out who I am even when I change my avatar because there is always a fetus in it.
I love you too blehman!

I would have told you sooner but I was having trouble trying to catch my browser with my mouse.
@dtomek
http://photobucket.com/ better in my opinion but try them both out
@dtomek

I use flickr, and they just added a basic image editor which helps.
I had the Space Giraffe one for like 8 months and felt that it was time for a change. I like this N+ one better.
Yea i think consistency is a good idea with avaters. Yet at the same time you can't force people to choose one and stick with it. Personally I like that I can recognise people from their avatars.
Holy shit, Grayfox! I didn't even recognize you! lol
I always do a new one when I come up with a shoop I like better than my current avatar.
haha, shit..
I do use avatars to recognize ppl.
The problem with mine is that i find sometimes unconfortable with the bouncing boobs.
But yeah, avatar represents ppl, this is an example of it
LOL! I forgot about that teta. Good shit. And VWGTI and Grayfox just proved mah point.
<-------------for you Blehman. I've missed her too.
ninjabulge. eeeew.
Thank god BPG.
Yes I will always be this image from Radiohead's OK Computer art gallery... PS I'm going to be in Dallas on May 19th to see Radiohead's concert there. I just saw that you lived there.

Oh and I completely agree. I hate it when people change their pictures because I don't know how to pronounce most of their names anyway.
@Kryptinite: About damn time.
By the way enjoy all this "Forum post in a Cblog" fun while CTZ is away. He's gonna be back... with a vengeance.
Yay BPG and Kryptinite!
@ AgentMOO

This is a good blog though. =( It has brought the community together as if we were once again flaming Vixen.
Originally I had a pic of myself, but since it was black & white (it was not adjusted to be like that) I changed it so people didn't think I was trying to be like an editor.

Prince showed up for Prince Day and now I'm sitting pretty with the Rabbit Junk logo. Change is good when you do it for a reason and not just because.
BPG truly rocks!
