ChiefsPlanet Avatar origins - Page 2

**Bufkin** · 08-29-2014, 11:03 PM

To go along with Flybone's username origin thread, there are certainly a handful of avatars around here that I've often asked about. Baby Lee's avy was the most confusing thing ever for the longest time until I finally asked him about it. Iconic is another one in which I've never gotten a response. Why does Mr. Flopnuts have Mike Holmgren in a chiefs shirt saying "ohhh yeah" as his avatar? All relevant questions that can be answered in this thread!

To start off, my avatar comes from the character "Bufkin", who was made famous in "The Wizard of Oz" starring Audrey Hepburn. He was then reprised as a fable character in the video game "The Wolf Among Us".

Somewhere, somebody on the internet created it, and I stole it from them.

Mine is obvious. He's my happy, special little dude that makes everything in my life worth while.

I liked his badass cowboy pic. He might get a kick out of updating it.

. Yeah, he still wears that hat on occasion.
That is a great picture.

Mine is what the Chiefs have done to me. Can't stop watching the trainwreck in hopes that ONE DAY they will finally win it all.

For a very long time I was Underdog. One day I changed after when the grand kids was watching another one of my favorite cartoon shows as a kid.

I saw the image and then shopped it to my liking..

Originally it was a white helmet and shoes and I think a blue g-string

Just thought it looked cool

Avatars with fire are the best.

It took so long to gain the ability to post pics, I forgot why I was here in the first place.

I have always been a Walken fan and his skits on SNL are legendary. I particularly laughed my ass off at that particular skit so I went with it. On another board I always had my childhood hero Otis Taylor. But another member has OT's football card for an avatar so I didn't want to steal his thunder. By the way I have that exact card and its a prized possession.

So I always picture you irritably shouting friendly things.

Mine was given to me by the great and powerful SNR during his roast of me in the Top 100 Posters thread.

That's odd, I hung around those same guys in the early 2000s. They haven't changed much.
