I saw this on another board and thought it was kind of nice. Tell us what your avatar means and a little about your forum name. Mine is pretty simple- the picture is my dog ( yellow lab) and he is my #1 that goes EVERYWHERE with me. He jogs with me- hikes trails- collects fatwood- you name it he is there. He is a permanet fixture in the back seat of my FJ and is in the front seat when my wife isn't with me. His name is " Friend" and he truly is a blessing in my life <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. My wife of almost 40 years is my best friend <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> and he is with her & I constantly. The name ordawg is easy. I am from Oregon and a SY dawg !! Some of yours I know- just thought it might be nice for some of the new guys <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Mine is from the Simpsons movie. Homer adopted a pig. A guy at work mentioned that his son's little league baseball team was called the Spider-Pigs. I thought it was kinda cool.

My forum name is my real name and as at the time I was the only 'furriner' kicking round the Yard, I thought I'd add the national reference.. I am very proud of being JYD 3- the first non yank to get the coveted title! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I've also never had any trouble buying knives off Dan and Patti- so thanks for that guys! I love my Yard knives. (Some American stores think the rest of the world are all thieves and liars)

My avatar was found on a Yahoo image search but it just screamed British and was just perfect for the Yard with the spike colar and the traditional 'two fingers up' rude salute! (I did check you guys didn't mind the rude salute, family forum after all).

(By the way the origin of the two finger salute is from the 100 year war if I remember correctly. The mean nasty French cut the fingers off captured English longbow-men (the French didn't like having their knights shot to pieces from a great distance!) so the salute just means 'you haven't caught me yet frog!' In fairness to the French I think we may have started the 100 year war by trying to steal the French throne..)

Oh yes, Whichdog, bless him, edited my avatar to give it a black background as he thought it looked better! He also did a pumpkin head dog too, during the craze a couple of years ago! Anybody else remember that? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

When I enlisted in the Marines, Hogan's Heroes was a popular television show. One of the characters was Colonel Klink, the bumbling Kommandant of the P.O.W. camp where Hogan was "held". Because of a vague similarity to my last name and the fact that I was a Private, my SSgt. Drill Instructor dubbed me "Private Klink". He certainly was NOT going to address me as Colonel Klink! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I tucked that away in my mind until I joined Swamp Rat in 02', and decided to use Private Klink as my forum name there, and here since then. I was going to use a picture of the Sad Sack cartoon character for an avatar, but when Dan Busse named me the GodFather of the DogFather - the GodFather won out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
