Meta: Favorite MGoAvatars of All-Time
With the meta threads of favorite former posters late last night and the SFW avatars post below, it got me thinking about my favorite avatars of all time on this site. It's awesome how avatars on here become intertwined with our perceptions of other posters' personalities, and I thought it'd be fun to see who all of our favorites are (that and work is really busy, so I need something to distract me). For me personally, I'm a big fan of the following:
- Hank Hill: Not sure if he really posts very much on here, but whenever he does, I can't help but read his post in Hank's voice and add a "I tell ya what" to end of it.
- Magnus: I like to think I have some sort of personal relationship with Brandon Graham solely based off of his avatar.
- LSAClassof2000: I'm not a brony, but I can appreciate the balls it takes to have a "My Little Pony" avatar.
- Evenyoubrutus: Who doesn't love a kick-ass mullet?
So, who are your favorite MGoAvatars and what iconic ones here am I leaving out?

I like the cartoonish little bug with arms flying out screaming with the block M on it's belly. I think he/she/it represents most Michigan fans.

Someone call?

The one of tyrome biggums dancing is pretty good. I liked Heiko's smilie face as well.
January 6th, 2015 at 12:45 PM ^
My top vote goes to MGoBrewMom, with Carlos Spicyweiner a close second. I sense a hot avatar romance brewing.

I'm always happy to see Ontario Blue. Even though I know it's just a tiny picture of Amanda Marcum that I can pull up anytime on the interwebs.

I've always been partial to Heiko's bubble screen smiley:
I also enjoy a2_electricboogaloo:
His avatar brings back fond memories of the classic no-leg Novak photoshop thread from a few years back.

January 6th, 2015 at 1:10 PM ^
Anyone know who he is?
January 6th, 2015 at 1:12 PM ^
Whoever had the GIF of a fly moving around. I almost hit my screen countless times.
January 6th, 2015 at 1:17 PM ^
January 6th, 2015 at 1:29 PM ^
He looks just like that.
January 6th, 2015 at 4:49 PM ^
And UofMDDS96 really does have that awesome yellow top hat.
And a fantastic piece of gulo gulo taxidermy, I might add.
January 6th, 2015 at 1:22 PM ^
Bando: obvious!
Everybody Murders: Jack Nance!
Trident of Death: I just love the "Tunacorn!"
Mabel Pines: Just cute, I dunno....
MGoBrew Mom: Classic, and a lady drinking beer to keep all the boys in line here.
I have to say the avatars of "hot women" come off as a bit lame to me, with the exception of MGrowOld because he is actually married to his avatar.
January 6th, 2015 at 1:43 PM ^
I think being married to your avatar makes it more lame.
No one gives a fuck what your life looks like... (yes I typed life on purpose, I don't need to see cars, money, bitches, whatever...)
love,
jdon
January 6th, 2015 at 2:43 PM ^
your point.
Oh, I can't believe I forgot Spicyweiner. I notice he receives the admiration of many of the MGoFemales around here.
January 6th, 2015 at 1:34 PM ^
I'm partial to the strange ones that you have to study to figure out what the hell they are.
One of the WLA guys had (if I remember correctly) a slice of pizza on a sidewalk? wth...

Those were the days...Dex could slap down just about anyone...When there was still intelligent conversation on this board...
January 6th, 2015 at 1:35 PM ^
Whoever said that above, I agree, I always thought that was actually him for the longest time. And I don't remember the posters name, but there was a guy on here once who actually had his own picture as his avatar and when someone pointed it out, it became one of the funniest threads ever.
January 6th, 2015 at 2:01 PM ^
January 6th, 2015 at 2:04 PM ^
Forgot about yours! Gave you an upvote
January 6th, 2015 at 1:50 PM ^
I've said it before, and I will say it again.
Puffins...
Gonna...
PUFF!!
January 6th, 2015 at 2:01 PM ^
Always enjoyed Heiko's and Don's.

And Boutros and Carlos.
January 6th, 2015 at 2:41 PM ^
Was awesome and I miss him. HAILT2VICTORS was also awesome until he was hosed over and lost 2 years worth of points.
January 6th, 2015 at 3:05 PM ^
Love that silly smile on his face!
Mine is from one of the earliest episodes of The Three Stooges. Link below if you care. I thought it fit here, it's like an upscale Skull and Crossbones but using a violin motif.

Moe was a boxing promoter, Curly a waiter, and Larry a violinist. Curly became heavyweight champ ("K.O. Stradivarius") since he would go nuts whenever he heard "Pop Goes the Weasel", which Larry played on the violin (really, he had musical talent).
If only our gridiron warriors would go nuts and play great football, and we only had to play a song... .

I second many of the nominations above -- lots of fun avatars on this board (and this comes from someone who has never bothered to have an avatar himself). I'm partial to MGoBrewMom, though.
But more important is a question I've had forever, and this thread seems the perfect place to finally ask it: Who is the striking lady staring out from the black and white photo in StephenRKass's avatar? I've always assumed it's his wife, but for all I know its just some anonymous model in one of those stock photos they put in the picture frames they sell at Michael's...
January 6th, 2015 at 5:19 PM ^
He claims it's his wife (when she was younger).
January 6th, 2015 at 6:50 PM ^
Yes, my avatar is indeed a picture of my wife from back in the day. I put the pic of Beth up to laugh at myself . . . everytime I post, I see Beth looking at me (and I guess asking, are you posting again?) I have a number of other headshots of her, and one of these days, I will get around to changing the avatar. But it will still recognizably be her.
January 6th, 2015 at 6:55 PM ^
Ignore . . . double post
January 6th, 2015 at 3:31 PM ^
Was it STR8 Ballin? Disturbing and mesmerizing at the same time.
Foote Fetish with Larry smoking a big cigar - that was a personal favorite even if the genius lies mostly in the username.
I feel a bit hamstrung by mine when I see much more creative ones in use, but I am too lazy to change it.
January 6th, 2015 at 4:04 PM ^
There called boobs, Ed.
I always giggled at the Ewok with the "Prepare Thy Anus" meme.
January 6th, 2015 at 4:14 PM ^
They're called boobs, Ed.
I always giggled at the Ewok with the "Prepare Thy Anus" meme. It makes me think of this little fuzzy buggering bear.
January 6th, 2015 at 4:08 PM ^
I like mine. Minimalist. Understated. Like it isn't even there...
January 6th, 2015 at 4:19 PM ^
I thought MWolverine's was pretty bad ass until he got banned. Seems like a waste of a good avatar.
January 6th, 2015 at 4:41 PM ^
Elno's avatar fit his online persona perfectly ... Which is the same feeling I get about MGoBrewMom's.
January 6th, 2015 at 4:46 PM ^
because Walt Kelly and Pogo are fantastic.
January 6th, 2015 at 4:47 PM ^
I could have one.
January 6th, 2015 at 4:58 PM ^
I liked the one with the M football player touching the hand of God, I don't know whose that was, haven't seen him post lately.
