Default Your photo as your TalkBaja avatar?

If you have thought about using your photo as your avatar but have security concerns you can use this website to "Simpsonize" your photo and create a unique avatar:

I would love to see some of you as a Simpson characters...

Uhhhhhhh....expat? So what does your current avatar represent? Your alter-ego?

I'm confused....I've always thought of you as female because of your avatar.

Is the new you in the pic available? (from all appearances he SHOULD be!)

Miss Legs I did not intend to mislead you. The photo above is one of my late ex-boyfriend.
Here is a recent one of me.

You have a very tiny waist....unlike your ex....I can see why you dumped/did away with him! And you'd definitely had a weight loss & gotten taller since your original avatar pic was taken!

He was undoubtedly in a rush to get to the refrigerator for another beer, huh?

That is what I told the detetive but the fact he had the hots for the sweet young (76) thing next door might have had something to do with it. .

I wonder ? Have we hijacked this thread or just keeping it active until there are more replies to the orginal post?

well, I just spent an hour trying to get my other avatar Simpsonized and no luck. I couln't figure out how to get an ai or eps image saved as a jpeg, which looked like the only format the Simpsonizer would take.

I guess I'll just try to upload the avatar as is.


Here goes.........

ps- I like Gringo's original avatar pic better. The Simpsonized one looks way to sane to even consider traveling to Baja, let alone LIVE there.........

OK, the results are, I finally got the image the right size for the Simpsonizer and it didn't recognize a face. Back to the avatar, finally got that one to the right (small) size and the results are .......well, not very recognizable, so I'm going to use a pre-loaded image for now. I don't have any recent pics of me I'd consider sharing>>>>.

Yeah, he didn't get the hair right, but the eyes are perfect!!
BTW is there any way to make it dress us in anything but black? It is, after all, September. And it wouldn't add my piercings, bummer.

That is an actual mug shot.

I found it in an article about the pictured individual arrested with an enormous amount of psychedelics; not just a typical narco load of weed or coke.

Loved that unrepentant, jaunty grin coupled with the fried-brain dreadlocks.

Guy looked like he'd been dipping into the merchandise a bit.

Depends. Were you sober when you were arrested?
