Explain your Av!

My ever changing series of avatars is an attempt to get people to alternate between saying
"There is a God"
and
"THERE IS NO GOD"
"There is a God"
and
"THERE IS NO GOD"
Mine's very boring - it's me. The day, however was not boring. June 1, 2003 and the wedding of our older daughter.
BTW, let's compare birth certificates. I'm a 1946 model, May 3 to be exact. I know I'm one of the fossils around here but do you have me beat?

Love this thread!
I change my avatars pretty regularly. The one i am using now is from Generations (i love that movie *ducks for cover*), when Soren is waiting for the nexus ribbon to get to him. I just love that scene and image!

DarkJourney - your Avs are always interesting!
Mutai Sho-Rin - I'm a 1967 edition. I wanted to be old red shirt but there is actually already one so: oldstredshrtevr . . . You are very handsome!
Yeoman Randi - I love Generations too! I actually hated it at first but a dozen or so viewings later I'm hooked! I really hated Kirk's death. Sure he was saving the world never having seen him die I didn't have to accept he would have to die. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt! I don't know if I'd be able to watch a movie featuring the death of Spock for sure!
Jinx-01 no explanation needed - love yours!

^JINX I gave up on ENT in the second season (i do hope to get back to it though)...so yes! I don't quite get your av....I'd love to hear what it is about.
I didn't give up. 
I completely get her complete infatuation with a certain Mr. Tucker. And someday, when she isn't looking, I might get my turn.
No need to duck. I liked it too. "Time is the fire in which we burn." And I love that image as well. There is something very beautiful about the ribbon and I love the juxtaposition of a desperate Soren offering himself to it.

OK, in season 4 we ENT fans took delightful Trip
into the Mirror Universe where Hoshi was a captain's woman (well, frankly she was anybody's woman as long as it served her purposes); Phlox was a sadistic monster; Vulcans were a conquered race; and Tucker and Reed loathed each other.So I created the av with Tucker and Reed and lifted the quote from TOS' Balance of Terror, when the Romulan Commander tells Kirk "You and I are of a kind. In a different reality I could have called you friend." I think it works.
a scene from District 9. Right at the point where everything really starts to go to hell for our hero.
your av caught my eye b/c I collect fashion dolls. I like how you used that Wicked Witch Barbie doll as one of those green Orion girls.

Originally I used a photo of the 'real' Miss Chicken as my av. As most people know the 'real' Miss Chicken is my little three legged cat.
One day while browsing I came across an ad for dinnerware which featured on the plates pictures of black cartoon cats with their tails up showing their arseholes. I thought if such pictures are suitable for plates they are suitable for avs. I looked though the plates and found on that had on it a cat that looked like it had only three legs.
The original photo wasn't as good as the av is now as a couple of members have improved it over the years.
There has only been one person who complained about my av (in the Q,S and F forum). Many members of Trekbbs defended my av saying that they love it. I promised that I would continue to use a version of this av no matter what.

It's a picture I took of Sleeping Beauty's Castle at Disneyland, one of my favorite places on the planet to be.
I think mine's pretty self-explanatory, too. But I think I understand where you're comin' from. If I didn't have this gem of an av to use, I'd probably be using a series of Linda Park pics.
Mine was created by a friend from Livejournal - he used it as an icon one day and I just loved it. As a gay Canadian, I'm appalled at how some of the rest of the world is still lagging in giving basic equal rights to LGBT people. (Plus, I loves me a man in uniform. )
It was particularly apropos there for a while - for nearly a year and a half, I was dating a guy who lives in Atlanta, Georgia. Alas, he couldn't see himself moving to Canada at any point in the future, and I couldn't see myself moving to the American South. So for that, among other reasons, we ended our relationship a couple of weeks ago. We ended it on friendly terms, though - in fact, we've chatted on webcam a couple of times this week. I wouldn't be averse to dating another American some day, though they'd have to be interested in coming to Canada. I'm not giving up my equality.

^Your av always puts a smile on my face.
^ Ditto. Its message has not been lost on me either. Every time I see it I am tempted to move there all over again. If it wasn't so bloody cold I probably would.
Mine is Sakonna, the Vulcan from the DS9 episode The Maquis. I've always been a bit of a Maquis sympathizer, and I decided to use her as an avatar. My intention was only to have her up for a few weeks before rotating again, but I started to make a name for myself on the board while I had her as an avatar, so I kept her for easy identification. Now I can't imagine myself with a different avatar. The purple hat is a recent addition, growing out of the DS9 5 World Story. I'll probably remove the hat soon, since I'm getting bored with it. (The hat, not the story.)

I have it on good authority, though, that Atlanta is not as hostile as you'd think, even though the laws are different than Canada.

Awww, thanks.
It's not that bad right now - it was above freezing today. And since I'm single again...
Oh, I know - I've been going to Dragon*Con every year for the past five or so (that's how we met - as I'm sure I've mentioned previously, he was Evil_Admiral's roommate until this past fall), and I know many, if not all, of Atlanta's gay SF fans who attend conventions. They hosted Gaylaxicon in 2007, and I was there for that as well. It's one of the best places in the South to be an out LGBT person - but it's still not Toronto.
