Most of us here have something to do with Elvis in their avatar. I'm curious - what led you to pick your avatar? Was it a random choice, or did it have special significance for you?

For me, the avatar I chose was the first picture I remember seeing of Elvis, before I became a fan. When I was younger, my dad and I would often eat at Denny's Diner in Dana Point, California. This picture was framed on the wall, beside sheet music of "Any Way You Want Me." I remember staring at it as we were waiting for a table. To this day, it's one of my very favorite pictures of Elvis.

For me, it is themed related, based carefully selected pictures on popular records, albums films, books from the year 1972. Last year was 1971. I change them around usually about 6 days.

I may have mentioned a time or two that I like the Garden shows.

I just want FTD to release the Kansas City 76 show if they have it :)

Plus it's a pretty nice 'in action' shot


Every opinion is my own, unless stated otherwise.

I overuse brackets as well

Great story.

Have no idea why I chose mine.

I'm a long-suffering Everton fan (there's no other way). My avatar is of our recent assistant and caretaker manager Duncan Ferguson.

He played for us across two spells, communicates with the fans and genuinely loves the club. He wasn't the best footballer but his passion for Everton has made him a true hero of the terraces.

With the appointment of a new manager imminent, he might go elsewhere to coach but he'll be back.

And we love him.

'72 is my favorite Elvis year.
his voice.
his look.
trilogy...burning love...seperate ways.
conquors the garden.
and those vegas shows from jan/feb...and aug/sep are awesome.
total historic bad-assery.
