2 days ago, I went through about 600 different Avatar's of posters, and I couldn't believe how to me, I would say only a handful I even understood. 94.6% of the Avatars did NOT make any sense at all. I would see pictures of men with mustaches smoking a pipe, or a skeleton, or a doll, etc etc.. What in the world do these Avatar's signify. I was extremely curious..

I think it would be cool if everyone just explained to us what your Avatar signifies and even the little message you put under it too, if you want, as I think this will really tell us a lot about what the poster is all about. I mean, lets be honest here, of all the things you could have said, and all the pics you could have put up, this Avatar is the one you picked, which tells us a lot about your character and how you think in life.

So I want you all to just briefly describe what your Avatar means in a few words, this way, we can at least get to know you the poster a little better.

I will lead off, as mine is a no brainer.

Barry's my man...

Thanks...

The history of the Marine Corps emblem is a story related to the history of the Corps itself. The emblem of today traces its roots to the designs and ornaments of early Continental Marines as well as British Royal Marines. The emblem took its present form in 1868. Before that time many devices, ornaments, and distinguishing marks followed one another as official marks of the Corps.

In 1776, the device consisted of a "foul anchor" of silver or pewter. The foul anchor still forms a part of the emblem today. (A foul anchor is an anchor which has one or more turns of the chain around it). Changes were made in 1798, 1821, and 1824. In 1834 it was prescribed that a brass eagle be worn on the hat, the eagle to measure 3 1/2 inches from wingtip to wingtip.

During the early years numerous distinguishing marks were prescribed, including "black cockades, "scarlet plumes," and "yellow bands and tassels." In 1859 the origin of the present color scheme for the officer's dress uniform ornaments appeared on an elaborate device of solid white metal and yellow metal. The design included a United States shield, half wreath, a bugle, and the letter "M."

In 1868, Brigadier General Commandant Jacob Zeilin appointed a board "to decide and report upon the various devices of cap ornaments for the Marine Corps." On 13 November 1868, the board turned in its report. It was approved by the Commandant four days later, and on 19 November 1868 was signed by the Secretary of the Navy.

The emblem recommended by this board has survived with minor changes to this day. It consists of a globe (showing the Western Hemisphere) intersected by a foul anchor, and surmounted by a spread eagle. On the emblem itself, the device is topped by a ribbon inscribed with the Latin motto "Semper Fidelis" (Always Faithful). The uniform ornaments omit the motto ribbon.

The general design of the emblem was probably derived from the British Royal Marines' "Globe and Laurel." The globe on the U.S. Marine emblem signifies service in any part of the world. The eagle also indirectly signifies service worldwide, although this may not have been the intention of the designers in 1868. The eagle they selected for the Marine emblem is a crested eagle, a type found all over the world. On the other hand, the eagle pictured on the great seal and the currency of the United States is the bald eagle, strictly an American variety. The anchor, whose origin dates back to the founding of the Marine Corps in 1775, indicates the amphibious nature of Marines' duties.

Mine says I don't even know how to get one

You see, look at what we've learnt so far boys. We learnt that 2times is into the blacks,

and Jay Leno carries that gun not because I thought it just meant that he was a cowboy, but to protect his loved ones. This is how these boys think. I think it's neat.. JJ, you need an Avatar kid. In fact, too bad you can't take Jay Leno's because it's taken, as I think that one would have been great for you, seeing you always talk about carrying a piece..

sickgambler · Sep 23, 2003

thanks am i tight. General, that's great. I've always wondered about yours. Buzz, that was funny. Fishhead, WTF was that all about man??? I want to know what that doll is all about, and I want to make sure you're not just a weirdo with a doll as an Avatar.

PatrickMcIrish · Sep 23, 2003

I write the same thing no matter where I am when they ask for my "race" - human.

Plus there weren't many where the person was smiling, I wanted a smile on my avatar.

Mine is kind of a cross between Max headroom and Jim Carreys Character in the mask, I think he looks kind of cool.

It is also how I plan on dressing when I come to Montreal to kick sick gamblers ass so he will know who I am.

Then I will go smoke a heater and have a smoke meat sandwich before driving back to Toronto.

Mine is the "honorable" Representative Jim Leach, R-Iowa.

just a humble suggestion, if JJ were to have a weapon avatar, I think it should be some sort of automatic weapon, thank you.

Chadster · Sep 23, 2003
