Is it just me or is my avatar just a little freaky/scary?

I rather like it.  It's creepy, but not in a bad "avoid that guy at all costs" kind of way.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't the sport for you.

Thanks, I've been wondering for a while if this avatar was a little to over the top. It is a dude's skull on a stake after all.

I've seen worse things, as avatars go it's pretty good.

Nah.  If you wanted to go over the top, a good place to start would be the iconic image of the impaled native woman from Cannibal Holocaust.  Even Grindhouse's usual printers wouldn't reproduce that image for their limited edition DVD release.  Kind of along these lines (though an actual snapshot from the film would be more gruesome):

Thanks for your guys'/gals' imput. I'm not trying to go over the top, I'm just trying to straddle the line.

You should have seen my "Humpin' Mae West" avatar.

Nah, now why would you say that???   :teddyr:

For normal people it might be a good warning, but since it seems few here can claim normalcy, for us it's more like a beacon shouting "Hey, hang around to see what this one does next!"

Oh I thought it was from TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE, the "emboning gun" it turns people and animals into lab skeletons.

I think it's from the vietnam war. I found it in a google search by typing "vietnam helmet"
