EXPLAIN YOURSELF!

[Flick James]

I know similar threads have been started, but it's still fun to do once in a while.

If you feel like it, please take a few moments to explain your avatar and/or signature. Sometimes a member's avatar is obvious, or familiar, and needs no explanation. Other times I look at avatars or signatures and have no idea what it is or where it came from.

My avatar is the official spokecharacter for Dos Equis beer, The Most Interesting Man in the World. As far as I know, the character is known by that moniker but has no name. He is easily recognizable to Americans, but I have no idea if he is familiar to people from other countries. Perhaps our members from across the pond, down in Africa, or down-under can comment. Anyway, I've always liked the concept of the character and so his image has represented my profile here for some time now.

Okay, your turn.

Mine is a cast of a mosasaur skull I excavated from the North Sulphur River bed in 1997.
Best seventh grade field trip EVER!!!

Mine should be obvious to most people.  I'm Quagmire, the sex-starved friend of the main character Peter Griffin in "Family Guy".

(Quagmire is excitedly watching a stripper dance for him)
Quagmire: Alllllright.
(checks wallet for money)
Woah!  Not alright!  Hey baby, do you take credit cards?
Stripper: Sure, honey!
Quagmire: Allllright.
(slides his card in her butt crack; she decks him)

Its a bubble gum card from ISLAND OF LOST SOULS-and I do own the gum card-its displayed in my china cabinet with all sortsa other useless stuff.
My signature is a quote from the 1971 Robert Merrick doucumentary MANSON. I like it because when somebody asks me something I don't know the answer to-I give them a nonsense answer and say-"Aint it groovy?"

Mine's Melissa Moore from Sorority House Massacre 2:  Nighty Nightmare.  One of my favorite mega-cheesy slashers.

Mine is Tom hanks from that island movie i've never seen.  I chose it because my stuff is always so obscure.

I've often wondered which movie that was from. I figured it was either from Mazes and Monsters or He Knows You're Alone, neither of which I have seen but bits and pieces of. I have no idea what the "island" movie is you're talking about.

JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO?

Probably obvious, but my avatar is Dr. Herbert West from RE-ANIMATOR.

My "Personal Text" is from AIRPLANE.

I actually picture most people on this board by their avatar pictures.

My picture is one of the stock pictures Andrew provided. It's from The Brain from Planet Arous, a movie I've never seen. I'm a bit overly-analytical, so it fits.

The phrase "My cat can eat a whole watermelon!" is from the obscure and bizarre Rubin and Ed.

The signature is, of course, from Dawn of the Dead.
