Mine shouldn't be hard but go ahead anyway

My Avatar, despite appearances, is not just badass for badass' sake- it is chock-full-o symbolism.

I thought up the basic design for it 3 years ago, after my grandfather was murdered on July 21st, 2005.

The TF brand in the corner was the cattlebrand my grandpa designed (he didn't actually have cattle at the time, but that didn't stop him from burning it into just about all of his woodwork).

The Eagle Globe and Anchor, which personally I have a little bit of a love-hate relationship with, is there cause my grandpa's the one who taught me to shoot, and he was absolutely thrilled when I wrote home to let him know I qualified expert.

The Jolly Roger is there... well because why the hell not. Jolly Rogers are cool.
It's wearing a cowboy hat because at one point my grandfather was a rodeo cowboy.
The crossed bones are wrenches because he was later a mechanic. (Originally one of those was going to be a pipe wrench, sense he'd also been a roughneck).
And the cigar- just about the only vice my grandpa had.

I made my own, just a random colourful pattern.

it should be pretty obvious what my avatar says about me lol
but tell me what you think it says about me anyway

I'll play along too!

LOL

I am shocked and amazed at the popularity of this thread...

Some of you may know that I've been a bit 'held up' with being able to concentrate properly on answering to the requests here, but please hold on, i will get around to answering all of them sometime in the near future.

I'm currently trying to get myself settled and am yet to obtain the time or a home net connection with which to devote the appropriate attention you all deserve, as i have done with other posters to this thread.

Thank you for your patience, I will answer all....

Happy ATS'ing
