Avatars

Posted 20 February 2002 - 08:03 PM

av·a·tar   Pronunciation Key  (v-tär)
n.
The incarnation of a Hindu deity, especially Vishnu, in human or animal form.
An embodiment, as of a quality or concept; an archetype: the very avatar of cunning.
A temporary manifestation or aspect of a continuing entity: occultism in its present avatar.

so, why, oh why are they called that?

For the same reason you can't put a skunk in a barn and expect to come out with licorice.  I mean, come on people, this isn't underwater basket-weaving.

I think I get your point Neoracle... but that made absolutley no sense :)

Maybe it's just late, and I'm tired... but that was seriously dorked up.

The definition of Avatar should explain it, the point of nicknames and avatars are to 'embody something else' some choose to embody animals or cartoons, other variations of themselves or the woman they want to be or be with ;) (:bmp:,:s:,:skippy:) But, why they call it an avatar is asking why they call it poop?! I don't think I have a point... I'll go to sleep now!

baha

you really need to get it together, nobody hear is having a problem w/ this simple explaination but you. how else are we going to get it through your head that avatars are all about 2nd rate door-to-door salesmen and a bucket of egg whites?

chill Chris, we're not trying to fiddle with the anti-lock break system, we're just trying to get a bit of strawberry jam off the lawn gnome. you know, keeping all the cough drops from running away.
