What does your Avatar/Profile Picture mean?

Nothing whatsoever to do with the thread but couldn't you find a better place to take a selfie than a toilet? :D What's wrong with you kids? :eek:
Pahahahah, it's at Paignton!!! :eek::D Right next to Crocodile Swamp :p
 
So why not a selfie next to or in the Crocodile Swamp?:confused:
I hope you flushed and washed your hands.:p

Despite my office being situated right next to the Croc swamp... I rarely ventured in there. It steamed up my glasses and I couldn't see a thing (even after warming them up with the dryer) ;)
 
I'm still waiting for the reason why you would take a selfie in a toilet and use that as your avatar.

"Thomas, open the door!"
"I can't - I ... um, I'm taking photos..."
 
It's not even like Paignton is one of the zoos which has animals on display in the toilets :P

Firstly, it's a good mirror for pictures... and I really don't see the big issue, it's just a photo... maybe it's a generational thing? :cool:

To be fair, I was just on my PC recently testing out various photos (went through three or four to see how they fit) and just ended up on this one. I had planned on importing something different from my phone, but didn't get around to it :p

Maybe. Back in my day when we wanted to take selfies, we would set up the camera on its tripod in front of the mirror, load the glass plate, make the little pile of gunpowder to light for the flash, and we would have to stand perfectly still for ten minutes so there was no camera-blur while the photo was taken. Three weeks later when the photo was ready, we would show someone and they would say, "Um... why did you take a photo of yourself in the mirror in the toilet? Why didn't you just get someone else take the photo for you?"
 
It's just one of many photos that I've taken on my phone - the wonders of technology, am I right? Now, isn't this meant to be zoochat? :D

Bah, soul-stealing devil's work. Back in my days, you just had to get some decent ochre to immortalize yourself right next to the mammoth painting on the cave wall. While using the toilet mirror, of course!

Not only that, but since indoor plumbing and electricity had not been invented yet it was very dark in the outhouse, so the lighting in the selfies was awful. And you had to be careful for any snakes and scorpions wandering about...

I can't believe I came to the party late, I was wondering why you had a toilet as your avatar until I came across this thread! :p
