Every once in awhile I like to submit new avatars to the site and I figured I haven't done it for awhile...so here's some from the 80s (all near size of 100x100 jpgs):

Awesome!  *lol*
Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt
Change the fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine.......

Hehe thanx!  Karma points for anyone who tries (or can) name what each image represents without cheating (looking at the image name).  Some are easy but a couple are difficult. 

I'll be adding some more not necessarily 80s avatar samples pretty soon.

I'm gonna try that test....

Hmmm...#1-dunno.
#2-Mr.T
#3-Flock of Seagulls- ...and I ran...I ran so far away... heh.
#4-Punky Brewster-ugh.
#5-Devo (?)
#6-Max,of ccccccc-course!
#7-Police Acadamy!
#8-Count Duckula
#9-dunno
#10-Thundercats
#11-EDDIE!
#12-Video Killed the Radio Star ?
#13-Danger Mouse (duh)
#14-dunno
#15-Megadeth!!!! :thumbup:
#16-Motley Crue. I never liked this talentless rip-off of KISS. And callin' a band a talentless rip off of KISS is as low as a band can get...as KISS wasn't much beyond make-up and stage show. Early kiss...ok. Later...meh.
#17-???
#18-some dink.
#19-Dee Snyder. Whatta clown! And I mean that in a good way. I like Dee Snyder!
#20-Slade...ooops...I mean Quite Riot.
#21-Transformers.
#22-looks like the gas tank of a motorcycle. Dunno.
#23-Tron
#24-A He-Man villian?

Oh well...I gave it a shot! My favorite of the bunch...Dee Snyder. That guy cracks me up!  :thumbup:

Karma for a good try - got most of 'em - like I said - some were harder than others.  Tron isn't correct though -but it was definitely ripped off of Tron.  LOL at motorcycle gas tank!  hahahaha -that's not quite right either but damn that's funny!  And great job with Devo -I thought that one was a bit obscure.

"Early kiss...ok. Later...meh." -definitely agree with that - I still love the "Hotter than Hell album" but I'm "meh" with about anything after "Destroyer"

I was doing a lotta "partying" in the 80's....(Turned turned 20 in '82) and I do mean a LOT...so my memories of that decade are slooshed with whiskey and other substances.....I'm surprised I remember any thing at all. I actually have clearer memories of the "70's and 60's when I was a teen and youngin' than the 80's!!!!

Okay, taking a stab at filling in some of the ones RC missed:

(1) - The Baroness from GI Joe
(9) - Cheetara from Thundercats
(14) - You Can't Do That On Television
(17) - Uhm, I think this is from a music video called something like "Do You Hear Me?"
(22) - is that something from Battlestar Galactica? Or Buck Rogers?
(24) - Beastman

"Don't make me stain my last clean shirt with the back of your head." - Shatter Dead
"A grizzly bear with a chainsaw. Now THERE's a killing machine!" - The Simpsons
"I've always wanted to make love to an angry welder." - Jaws: the Revenge

Karma for that!  Hahah yes those are all right except 22.  17 is close enough - it's Missing Person's "Words" but the first line of the song is "do you hear me...do you care"

22 is kinda hard w/o the context but I'll give you a hint - it was about a group of guys on a boat.

Oh and the second to last one is "Automan"

Well #23 is AutoMan. 

And I would've been wrong on #3 had I guessed before RC.  I thought it was Martin Gore. :)

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.
