What's the meaning behind your Avatar ?

[Vintage lover]

My avatar is of John Dillinger. I grew up admiring men like him and Al Capone, so a picture of John seemed to fit my authority disdaining self.

I suppose it's appropriate then that you chose one of his mug shots.

I collect and research stuff from US war correspondents. This was from a magazine ad for liquor, showing a unnamed correspondent (the insignia is a pinback, would have been REALLY tough to have mounted it on that kind of hat)...

Why is a police booking photo called a "mug shot"?

Of course they are--the ladies are better looking than the rest of us...mugs.

I'd like to see the expression on your face if you were to call John Dillinger a
mug to his face . Lol

I recently changed from my business avatar (a B&W drawing of a 50s-style saleswoman holding up two dresses) to a beach photo of my mother from 1960. I think I'll keep mom around for a while.

It's only one of four good pictures I've ever taken

Simply gorgeous !


That's it...sorry guys...but I would like to change this thread that I started with only
the beautiful avatars of images of the ladies...
You mugs can start your own thread...LOL...lollollol

With regard to AVATARS...As I was saying...

I found an old 1930's cocktail book buried under a stash of books in a charity shop. The recipes were great, but the 'graphics' were even better!! With my being a 'bartender' in 'here' I felt it was an appropriate avatar to have.

This has always been one of my favorite avatars - what is the name of the book? My girlfriend and I love old bookstores and we have a very modest collection of old cocktail books, so I'd love to keep an eye out for the one you have.

For unknown reasons, I always think of old Banana Republic catalogs &
exotic places.

Yours is one of my top favorites...:cheers1:

That would clearly be a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Dillinger was considered to be quite handsome, so he'd probably dish it right back to me. lol

That can't possibly be true; I call "modesty". :yo:

ound: :thumb::thumb: Further visual evidence that putting a suit on me is like putting a fresh coat of paint on a junkyard wreck; you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear. lol

We anti authority types tend to laugh in the face of danger. We dandys also consider it a matter of honor to looks dashing and stylish at all times too. John and I were both of those. I just hope none of you will ever get to judge whether John, or myself looks better with bullet holes

I believe I'm not in a position to judge anyone...with or without bullet holes.

C'mon Zombie, judging can be fun sometimes; just ask Judge Dread or my personal favorite... Judge Doom!!!
