My very first avatar was an animated gif of a cackling Bowser from Super Mario RPG. It was fairly short lived, but I liked it.

As I promised on the avatar page, I’m going to showcase a variety of different avatars (primarily movie based) over this month. I figured I might as well post an anthology of the avatars I have used previously, adding more as time goes by. So on with the show!

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

My second avatar was by far the most popular. The infamous Disco Frog won me the prestigious Best Avatar award, as well being the image most associated with myself. It was/is the longest lasting avatar I’ve used as well.

I briefly tried out an avatar of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog (from Late Night with Conan O’Brien) but it didn’t last long (popular opinion was against it. Like Sean Connery after Bond, it seems I was typecast! 
Still, I thought it was a good avatar. You be the judge!

Oops! The gif I posted doesn't seem to be working, so I'll just attach a pic of the little guy instead.Originally posted by Kayless

My next avatar (and the one I’m using as of this posting) is of course Spider-Man. With the movie opening this Friday, I thought it was appropriate.
Addendum: The next 3 and half pages are spam. Proceed to the middle of page 4 to resume avatar dissertation.

actually, spid's a pretty sweet avatar in a sort of stylish way 
all he needs to do now is start busting his fly moves, ya dig?, and you're onto a winner

Here where the flattering and mendacious swarm
Of lying epitaths their secrets keep,
At last incapable of further harm
The lewd forefathers of the village sleep.

I'm getting a surreal mental image of Spider-Man breaking out in a disco funk after swing from building to building while Staying Alive plays in the background.

I like the dancing frog. I think you should stay away from images and likenesses of other people/personalities/characters. This gives you a little more originality (of course, my avatar was lifted straight out of Star Wars, so you really don't have to pay any attention to my opinion at all).

are you saying kayless doesn't swing from building to building using superpowers he gained from a radioactive spider?

I don't know that our friend Kayless doesn't work for a newspaper as a photographer and that he doesn't have a danger sense, extraordinary strength and the ability to walk up a wall. However, I've seen no evidence of this behaviour out of him, so I will go with the assumption that he's really just a dancing frog.

So what are your superpowers? Do you hop around the swamp chasing nogoodniks and infecting them with warts? Do you use your rotating eyes to look out for danger? And I'll bet that your tongue makes you a big hit with the ladies. Are you the poisonous type of frog that fights against evil in the world, or is the disco dancing your only power?Originally posted by Kayless
Maybe I was bitten by a radioactive frog.

Bring back the Disco Frog, I say. Spidey just isn't you...
Nice froggy-hybrids, though.

Sleep is for n00bs, and people with too much blood in their caffeine.
Have YOU voted for Kayless' Dungeon Crawl Inc. yet today???
