I always liked Queen, but this particular avatar was chosen because of a Family Guy gag.

For those few that don't know, my avatar is Don Johnson from Miami Vice. Best show in TV history IMO. Very ahead of it's time and started the careers of many famous stars like Liam Neeson, Bruce Willis, Ed O'Neil, etc...lI was pretty young when it was in it's prime, but even as a kid, I wanted to be like Don, just like everyoone else sporting the shoes, no socks, light colored linen with bright pastel colors...Rico and Sonny were the epitome of cool...like them or not, you can't deny that they got all the ladies back in those days..🤣

Michael Mann is a genius..and even the new Miami Vice movie he made and Collateral were incredible movies. The old series would be relevant even today. Not many TV series from the 80s could claim that.

BTW..the 80s MIDI music of Jan Hammer kicked butt as well..🤣.

Huge fan of Vice here too. Used to try to dress like Crocket but for some reason never quite hit the "look". Plan on getting the series on blue ray or DVD and doing some binge watching. Got the soundtrack on CD, use it to get me going when I pump some iron.

My avatar was bascially a "knee jerk" reaction since I'm a big college football fan (Ohio State Buckeyes & Auburn Tigers!!!)

Probably the Auburn Tigers icon would look better, Michigan fans would agree I'm sure. Any football fans out there?

It's Robo Koopa from the Super Mario Bros. cartoon.

Apogee's shareware remake of Jumpman for the PC - it wasn't the very first video game I ever played, but it was the first one I really mastered as a kid.

I played a lot of Jumpman on Apple II and Atari 8-bit back in '83-'84. Great game 😀

I don't believe it would be appropriate to disclose that on this board.

Do not refrain from refusing to stop hindering yourself from the opposite of watching nothing other than that which is by no means porn.

Nice update clueless1.
Obviously because the last one looked like a duck each time I looked at it. 😀
