What is your AVATAR symbolize?

Hi Everyone,

I've been wondering since I joined about the symbolism behind your avatars. Some meanings are pretty obvious, but most of them, espcially the military symbols and numbers, I don't "get". i'd love to hear what they mean I know some have stories behind them.

I'm sure you all know that the inspiration for my own avatar was all the joking around about frying pans and FRYDAY (by the way, there really shall be a FRYDAY... one day!) OH, which reminds me, I spotted an animated smiley icon online and couldn't find it again ... one smiley whumping another with a frying pan ... It was made to order for me... sigh ... I could CRY to have not been able to find it again!

Anyways ... it would just be nice to learn what your avatar is all about.

Cheers
