This was the best I could do for a Simpsons avatar for me. (Click for larger.)
(I usually wear plain things with nothing written on them, but I suppose this particular design will do, for fun! Also, I could not really find the right hair.)
So what’s yours like? (Email me them and I’ll post them in the comments if you like. Or give a link to one on your page.)

P.S. The movie? Oh, it’s a pretty good extended Simpsons episode. I don’t know if it qualifies as a movie to see in the cinema, but then there’s an awful lot of really bad stuff out there that supposedly qualifies and can’t hold a candle to even a half hour Simpsons episode. Fun with a group out for a lark, I’d say.

You kind of look like a black Waylon Smithers.
Saw the movie and thought it was pretty good. The subtle political commentary always makes it a socially acceptable activity imho.
e.
Subtle?!

(It was fun though, sure.)
Michele Vallisneri sent me his avatar (see below).
He also mentioned that he made it at a different site (feel free to send in yours):
I shall have to have a go at some point..

I just don’t like a Simpson’s character. I created something that looked sort of like my balding brother, but I’m not bald, so that was just weird. I got lost trying to create an Avatar that looked like me. My son made one on his Wii that isn’t too bad. Maybe it gives more options.
That should be *look* like a Simpson’s character.
Jude: me neither, but I think the idea is to be a Simpsons _caricature_.
Many months ago I created a relatively good avatar in Second Life, until I needed the disk space on my laptop and took my SL stuff off (and didn’t make a screenshot). Clifford might want to open up his avatar invitation to include avatars of all types or, in the future, make a separate post talking about people’s virtual images (I saw some wild avatars in SL.. what fun!) and ask for input.
Clifford might. On the other hand…. wanna do a guest post about it? Currently, you seem to know more about it than I do…
