My new avatar is......

[Hey Joe]

I've asked you all here today because I have a simple request.

Choose my avatar.

As some of you know, I'm quite flighty with my avatar selection, and can never quite settle on one. Now, I have some choices for you to make. I've selected eight images on my shortlist of potential avatars, and now it's up to you Escapists to decide which picture will forever be associated with Hey Joe.

Holy shit right?

I will leave these pictures up for a week, as well as a poll. By the end of seven days, the most popular avatar will be MINE for all time.

==============================================================================================

This avatar is of Don Quixote, the delusional man who thought he was a knight errant.

This one is of Jimi Hendrix in all his cosmic glory

This would be a picture of Andy Warhol, as an arts student, it's obligatory

Bobby Despotovski. Local footballing legend here in Perth, so a natural choice.

Robbie Fowler snorting the touchline, a must for any football fan

Militant rodent, why not?

Me with a stuffed monkey I got from Taronga Zoo

A curious meerkat from the same trip

==============================================================================================

Remember people, you have seven days to get your vote in. Your vote could be vital in reshaping the Escapist landscape forever!

From Hey Joe

*PLEASE NOTE THIS CONTEST HAS FINISHED. KAPUT. OVER AND OUT.*

Hey man, what happened to the picture of you as a Simpsons character?

 

[Hey Joe]

Hey man, what happened to the picture of you as a Simpsons character?

It is consigned to the dustbowl of history. It was on my shortlist of 20 but I didn't like it.

 

[Ultrajoe]

Heres the wall.

Heres my face.

Here they meet.

 

[poleboy]

What's wrong with ol' Thompson?

Anyway, if I must choose I'd go for Quixote. Although the rodent made me giggle.

 

[Hey Joe]

Heres the wall.

Heres my face.

Here they meet.

Is that a reference to Don Quixote or the stupidity of this thread?

 

[Hey Joe]

What's wrong with ol' Thompson?

It was pointed out to me that that particular pic is actually somebody else's avatar already.

 

[Easykill]

Hey, don't listen to these peons. Andy Warhol all the way, I've already associated you with the pic, it doesn't seem right seeing some football player looking weird where you used to be.

 

[I Am Pigeon]

I'd have to say Bobby Despotovski but i voted Jimi Hendrix first and after that I realized Bobby was on that list. I must say Bobby is a legend, he's signed my shirt .

 

[Lord Krunk]

Andy Warhol.

This thread won't be around for long, you do realise.

And you ruined my chance at doing this!

 

[Amnestic]

Don Quixote. Delusions of grandeur are awesome.

 

[Hey Joe]

I don't see why exactly this thread would be closed. The images are quite small (we do already have a MASSIVE pictures thread) and it's encouraging great community participation and camaraderie. It may be a little self-indulgent but who on here hasn't indulged?

 

[PurpleRain]

I said Warhol because that's the most notable when I think of you. Plus Warhol basically started a new art.

But what happend to the robot girl from Metropolis!? That was my favourite one that you had! I'd vote that if I could.

 

[Hey Joe]

I was actually going to include the Metropolis girl, but the poll only allow eight choices, so I hard to make the hard call.

Yeah, but just one thread about "which avatar picture do you want me to have?" can give others similar inspiration to make their own version of this thread. I mean, I have.

 

[PurpleRain]

So you chose Military Rodent and Football guy instead. For shame.

 

[Vortigar]

Don Quichotte!

And then find someone to carry your lance for you.

And a donkey.

Probably find the donkey first. It is important.

 

[Mogif]

ALL HAIL THE MILITANT RODENT! He looks snazzy with that machine gun.

 

[RAWKSTAR]

Gotta have some Hendrix!

You know, you could always have Metropolis girl as your avatar. It would freak people's shit out.
