What does your BA avatar mean?

Can't remember if I responded earlier.

I like beer and Jeeps. I like to say I'm on my fourth of each, but I'm currently at work so...yeah.

 

Yes, let's. Shanex is much too cool for all of that.

 

It's funny seeing old posts from people that have changed their avatar.

I never responded before, so I will now... Mine is an old cat-meme that made me laugh years ago. It's play on the classic Schrödinger's cat paradox of quantum physics.

Did I already post in this thread?? Oh well, my avatar is the hops girls from a CAMRA poster from all those years ago.

 

Mine's a giraffe. Not sure why

 

This one goes to 11.

 

Mine's a picture I took on the dream stream in CO. Two of my hobbies are beer and fly fishing.

 

Zion is awesome, was there this spring for some canyoneering. Quite possibly my favorite place.

 

I've had several avatars, some of which were very good, and some funny. I just got tired of changing them all of the time though so this one is Mozart's skull and I've just stuck with it. Of course now I'm more into Beethoven so maybe I can find a picture of his skull

 

Eeuuwwh!

 

Navin R. Johnson, The Jerk.
Steve Martin was funny once.....

 

My photo of the 2015 eclipse. I was cursing the clouds, until this happened.

 

Interestingly, I don’t think I’ve ever changed my avatar in all my years on ba...

History lesson time!

It’s Chief Francis O’Neill, the Cork-born immigrant who served as Chicago’s chief of police from 1901-1905. Although, apparently, an unnotable public servant, he had a love for traditional Irish music and ended up writing the book on it. Well, several books, in which he recorded firsthand thousands of traditional tunes from the various Irish, Scottish, Welsh, etc. immigrants in Chicago.
It was the first major written collection of a nearly completely oral music tradition.
Over the next half-century, for multiple sociopolitical reasons, traditional music in Ireland largely disappeared. It was revived later in the 1900s, and that is largely thanks to O’Neill’s books. Irish musicians were buying his collections and relearning their own music!
To this day, his books remain the Bible of Irish traditional music and the musicians of Ireland have a special appreciation for the city of Chicago and its late chief of police.
Sláinte!

 

Lots of parabola

 

This is me when a Mexican restaurant close to me started carrying Smartmouth Rule G IPA

 

It means that I'm like Jesus, but even more.

 

Is that literally his skull? Why would someone have his skull? Normally people were buried...or so I thought.
