    I like your llama.

    I'm a visual person so I do tend to associate avatars with personalities. I miss the sunflower, Sara. Probably because it envokes the feeling of warmth and it's also my favorite color.

    Starfish, I hope you don't change yours either.

    Thank you. I never ride in taxis either.

    No, but your avatar makes me think you're great fun and you maintain a touch of whimsy.

    I love checking out avatars too. I think the variety is fascinating. It's cool to see what people would choose as a representative picture.

    I do not look like a furry black dog, nor do I study my broccoli so intently. But, I'm madly in love with my dog, and I love that picture. So, there you are!

    I agree with the idea that I strongly connect the avatar with the person. I think my brain believes that that's what you look like whether it be a cartoon, and animal, or the picture of that guy that Crazycanuck has. I must admit I like the ones that have pics of the real person best, just for that reason.

    It's so much fun to see all the pet lovers on TE.

    My three cats and four dogs wouldn't all fit in an avatar, and I couldn't possibly choose just one. (Well, maybe Mo, the half-doberman frisbee queen, but don't tell the others I play favorites.)

    I have to admit sara's kind of frightened me I like the sunflower much more.

    Some avatars make me chuckle - rij73's , righteousbabes' cat with the melon on it's head, clockworkorange's dog, Ace's dog (what a great expression), mtkitchn's ostrich, mtbdarby's porker.

    I also like the avatars that show the poster riding her bike or running.

    Having ridden with ZenC, I can personally attest that she is, indeed, not a monkey.
    "How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
